Can you use the background remover tool if you’re a Canva free user?

Do I need to resize and position the image first before I can remove its background?

Even if you choose to erase the background of the image in its original size, it will still have the background-less look afterward. It’s just a matter of preference which step you’d like to proceed with first.

 

Can you still access the eraser and restore brush tools on the Canva mobile app?

In the web version of Canva, you can see the restore and eraser brush tools after tapping the Background Remover. But, in Canva mobile, there are no eraser and brush tools available.
