How To Use Canva Magic Eraser (Video Tutorial)
Step-by-step tutorial for Canva Magic Eraser
- Set up a Canva design using your image dimension. Not sure what it is? You can use Mac’s preview tool or similar to quickly measure the image.

2. Create a custom Canva design using the dimension – it’ll make your editing and exporting process a lot easier. Go to Create a Design | Custom size

3. Now simply upload your image to Canva, or drag and drop your image into your Canva design

4. Click on the Magic Eraser tool on the left-hand side

5. This next part is really fun and satisfying. After you choose the eraser tool size, start “painting” / erasing over the parts of the photos you don’t want. The moment you release your cursor (i.e. using your mouse button), the parts will be removed. It’s that easy!
