Canva’s nifty photo-editing tricks make complex edits simple, and allow you to do everything in the one app. So whether you’re designing a new social media story, a presentation for work or an invitation to a kid’s party, you’ll be able to create professional-looking photos and designs, in a snap!
Here are a few of our favourite Canva photo fixes:
Background remover (Canva Pro)

Removing a photo’s background can be a fiddle… but not with Canva. With a Canva Pro subscription, just one tap and the background disappears, making a headshot or product really stand out.
Why it’s great: We love the one-tap simplicity and high-quality results.
Who it’s for: Content creators, small business owners and anyone who wants to remove an unwanted background on an otherwise great photo.
Smart mock-ups (free)

Transform any image into a customisable, professional product mock-up, right from your iPhone or iPad. From business cards to T-shirts, there are over 120 mock-ups available in Canva.
Why it’s great: Easily create a logo or other graphic design and showcase it on a poster or mug.
Who it’s for: Small business owners, side hustlers and online sellers who want to mock up professional designs and products, without spending anything.
Face Retouch (free)

Sometimes, a photo doesn’t come out quite right, but with Face Retouch, a portrait image can be quickly adjusted.
Why it’s great: Users can individually remove red eyes, whiten teeth, retouch blemishes or reduce shadows from under the eyes. Or, do it all at once with one tap.
Who it’s for: Social media users will enjoy this fast-fix feature.
Auto focus (free)

Don’t have the budget for a professional photographer? With Canva, you can move the focal point of any image to magically give your photograph added depth and a professional look.
Why it’s great: Canva will automatically identify the focal point of the photograph, focusing on it and blurring the rest of the image. Or you can adjust the focus yourself for a customised effect.
Who it’s for: Personal social media users and content creators who want to create professionally focused looks – fast and for free.
