Forget erasing the backgrounds from your images one by one. With Canva's bulk background remover, all you need to do is upload your folder and activate the tool in a few clicks. It works through up to 50 images per batch, so you can save time from doing tedious work and move ahead to designing. It's that easy!

Skip the export, import, repeat loop

Skip the export, import, repeat loop

Most batch background remover tools hand back a ZIP and stop there. You'll have to re-import every cutout into your design tool, making the jump from background removal to editing a chore. Here the transparent background happens inside Canva: your photos are a click away, ready to edit or add to designs. Drop them onto a clean backdrop, into a mockup, or straight into one of our free photo templates, and every item in your shop lines up with the same look.

Safe, responsible AI in every batch

BG removal for e-commerce and resellers

Showcase your products in the perfect online listing. Edit your images in our photo editor to batch tiny edges, tweak the lighting, and add filters. Generate your own backgrounds so your product photos match your vision exactly, or drop it into a mockup template. Once you’re done, you can repurpose your images to other assets and materials with Magic Resize, all while keeping them consistent with your very own Brand Kit.
