Most times, you want the subject of your photo to be the center of attention with no distracting background. You might have a photo bomber behind your subject or simply a background that you don’t need for your project.
With Canva Pro, you can remove the background of a picture. Then, use that important part that remains in your Canva project. We’ll show you just how to remove a background in Canva.
If you’ve already uploaded the picture you want to use, you can jump down to the next portion explaining how to remove the background in Canva.
But if you don’t have your image uploaded yet, you can add it easily.
Step 1: Open your project and select Uploads on the left side.
Step 2: Choose Upload Media or use the Three Dots to import an image from Google Drive, Dropbox, Facebook, or Instagram.
Step 3: Select the image and click Open or follow the prompts per the location you choose.
Step 4: On the Images tab, pick the picture you want to insert or drag and drop it onto the canvas on the right.
With your image on your canvas, it’s super easy to remove the background.
Step 1: Select the picture and click Edit Image in the toolbar at the top.
Step 2: You’ll see the Edit Image options to the left. Pick Background Remover at the top.
Step 3: After a few moments, you’ll see your picture transformed to one without a background.
You can then make an adjustment if there’s more of the background you want to eliminate.
Step 4: Select Erase to remove additional portions of the image. Then, adjust the slider to set the brush size you want to use. Use your cursor to click or swipe through the other parts of the picture you want to remove.
To see the background again but dimmed, check the box for Show Original Image.
Step 5: If you accidentally erase something you want back, click Restore. Then use your cursor to bring back those portions of the picture as they were originally.
Step 6: When you finish, click Done at the top to save your edits. If you change your mind, click Cancel instead.
Then, click Apply in the sidebar.
As mentioned, the Background Remover tool is available with Canva Pro. You can check out the Canva website for subscription options.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
