You can upload an image from your computer if you want. Just drag and drop the image to Canva, and it will automatically be uploaded to Canva. You can find your uploaded image in the uploads menu.

The Erase And Restore Background Tools In Canva
After removing the background from your image using the “Background Remove” tool, before clicking on the apply button, you will see two tools named “Erase Tool” and “Restore Tool”. In this process, I will show you what these two tools do in the background removal process.
Erase Tool:
After you see the background of your image disappear, you are still unsatisfied with some places in your images and want to get rid of these places too.
Then you can take the help of the Eraser Tool. Select the Eraser tool and drag it to the places where you want to remove the background.
Restore Tool:
The “Restore Tool” is the exact opposite of the “Erase tool”. Suppose you have completed the background removal process, but the background remover tool eventually removed some of the important areas of the image. In that case, you have to use the restore tool for this purpose.
Just select the restore tool and drag it to the places of the image you want to restore. But doing this, you will be able to restore all the places the background remover tool accidentally removed from your image.
You can now click the “Apply” button to finish the background removal process.
