Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Watermarks in Canva
Generating an Image: Recently, I created an image using the platform Lensgo.ai, which resulted in a photo that contained a watermark at the bottom. I was curious if I could use Canva's tools to erase this watermark.
Using the Magic Eraser Tool:
- I uploaded the image to Canva and chose the "Edit Photo" option.
- Next, I selected the "Magic Eraser" feature.
- By brushing over the watermark (in this case, the Lensgo logo), I allowed Canva to automatically erase it. The watermark was successfully removed, leaving only a slight blur behind.
Testing with Other Images: To further explore the capabilities of the Magic Eraser, I conducted a Google search for images with watermarks:
- Example 1: A photo taken from an airplane, marked with the word "proof". After using the Magic Eraser, the watermark was removed but left a slightly blurry area.
- Example 2: A funny image with a large copyright watermark. The eraser did a decent job; again, there was some blurriness but it might suffice based on the image's intended use.
- Example 3: A more challenging image with a copyright watermark running through it. After erasing, the area appeared clean and satisfactory.
- Further Testing: I encountered a tough case of an image with multiple watermarks and diagonal lines. After applying the Magic Eraser, I was pleased to find that it effectively removed most of the unwanted marks, creating a much cleaner image overall.
Conclusion: If you possess the rights or permission to remove watermarks from images, Canva's Magic Eraser is an excellent choice. It is user-friendly and integrated into the Canva platform, making it accessible for anyone who already uses the tool.
