1. What is the purpose of separating the background on Canva?

For those who regularly work on Canva, creating design files on the system, separating the background is extremely important. With photos and videos that capture the subject clearly, you can separate the background to combine it with other content or create new content for the image. Similar to Photoshop, when separating the background, Canva also returns the image to the default checkered background. From this background, you can easily change the background, replace the background, and match the background to the subject.

Isolating backgrounds on Canva is simpler than ever because this is a software that uses AI artificial intelligence combined with feature simplification. When you perform background separation on Canva, you will be very surprised because you did not think it was so fast and simple. Extracting a background on Canva takes less than a minute and you can do it on any image and video.

4. Notes when separating the background in Canva

Canva's background removal tool is really powerful, but there are still some shortcomings that you need to pay attention to before removing the background to avoid getting into trouble. Below are some notes when separating image and video backgrounds in Canva.

1. Images and videos with background separation must have a clean background, not too many objects, people, or objects in the background to avoid being erased.
2. Images and videos with background separation must have the subject completely separate from the background. This way the system will know which subject and background need to be erased to perform the deletion most accurately and accurately.
3. The image after removing the background will return to a Caro or white background. If you want to save the image without a background, you must export the image in .PNG format.
