Welcome to iZoRun, your channel for creative design and artistic inspiration! 🖌️
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to remove text from an image in Canva Free, even if you don’t have access to Canva Pro’s advanced tools. Whether you want to clean up a background, erase unwanted labels, or simply clear overlaid text from a photo, this guide shows you a practical and simple workaround using free tools available in Canva.
🧠 Can You Remove Text from an Image in Canva Free?
Yes, but with limitations. Canva Free doesn't include background remover or image retouching tools like Canva Pro. However, you can still remove text from an image in Canva using the Text Capture tool or manual techniques such as cropping, covering, or replacing image areas with solid shapes or patterns.
Let’s break down the full process.
🛠 Step-by-Step: How to Remove Text from Image in Canva Free
Follow these instructions to remove visible text from a photo using Canva’s free tools:
✅ (Start by Opening an Image Containing Text)
You’ll need an image where the text is either embedded in the background or layered on top.
1. Open Canva
Visit www.canva.com or open the Canva mobile app. Log in with your free account.
2. Click the Image to Select It
Start a new design or open an existing one. Click on the image that contains the text you want to remove.
3. In the Top Bar, Click ‘Edit’
Once the image is selected, tap ‘Edit Photo’ in the top toolbar. This opens Canva’s editing features.
4. Select ‘Text Capture’
Scroll to find and click on ‘Text Capture’ (Canva’s OCR tool). This feature scans the image for any visible text elements.
Note: If you don’t see this tool, it may be region-restricted or not yet available in some free accounts.
5. Select the Detected Text
Canva will highlight any detected text. Click to select the specific text you want to remove.
6. Click ‘Capture’
Once the text is selected, click ‘Capture’ to isolate it as an editable text box.
7. Press the Delete Key
With the captured text box selected, press Delete on your keyboard (or tap ‘Delete’ in the app). The overlaid text will disappear, leaving the background image intact.
🧩 Alternative Methods (When Text Capture Isn't Available)
If Text Capture is not available or doesn’t detect your text, here are some manual ways to erase text on an image in Canva Free:
🔲 Option 1: Use Shapes to Cover the Text
1. Go to Elements Shapes
2. Drag a square or rectangle over the text
3. Match the color of the background or use Blur Background match
4. Optionally, place new text or a graphic over the cover shape
This is the fastest method to delete text from a picture in Canva when full background editing isn’t possible.
✂️ Option 2: Crop the Image
If the text is near the edge:
1. Select the image
2. Click Crop
3. Drag to remove the section with the text
4. Resize and reposition as needed
This technique helps you take text off a photo in Canva while keeping the design clean.
🧱 Option 3: Blur the Area Behind the Text
1. Go to Elements Blobs, Gradients, or Texture Overlays
2. Place one over the text area
3. Adjust transparency and layer it beneath new content
Useful when you want to clear text from an image in Canva with minimal disruption.
🎨 Pro Tip: Replace the Background Entirely
If the image is mostly used for layout and doesn’t require specific detail:
• Remove the entire image
• Use a new photo or background texture
• Rebuild the section using Canva’s drag-and-drop tools
This helps you get rid of text in a picture using Canva while refreshing the design.
