how do u make background transparent on a gif?

[@Boatfam4]

I can't complain since Canva offers many features for free, but it is odd how this very basic feature is Premium.

[@mariafalcon-123]

my dude this is premium

[@dakadencephoenix5597]

Thanks! Was stuck on this

[@TamaraB-vz4jw]

Thank you. Straight to the POINT!

[@MasterT2]

why my png still has the background when I already selected the transparent in the download option?

[@fiknahs]

but what if i want to download PDF for print without that white background?

[@sterlingfartwell5725]

u putting pdfs on green backgrounds?

[@demiloca]

but there is no TRANSPARENT BG option with video download, which makes Canva shy of being a great app.

[@pixelandbracket]

There’s not many video formats that can even carry an alpha channel, if you’re looking for that I would def recommend video-specific editing software

[@balloongoat8207]

Worked perfectly for me, thanks!

[@MultiGreena]

Not working 👎

[@user-um1mx3kb8z]

OMG, so it doesn't matter that the background turns black after downloading? I have CANVA PRO, I have followed always those steps since I have watched tons of videos and every time when I opened the downloaded file it came with a black background just like in your video. I thought I was doing something wrong... so, that's normal?

[@pixelandbracket]

If you think about it, you can’t “see” transparent. So any program you open it in, you’ll see whatever the background that program has, behind your image. If you bring it into another photo editor as a layer, you’ll be able to move it around which will show you there’s actually no background around it.

I have the trial pro version and it’s not saving as transparent, used white bg, png, what am I doing wrong?

[@AcryliWoodDesigns]

Is there a way to do this with the free account?

[@eshalfatima5973]

no way

[@Samiimgr]

I am on trial and tried doing this but it’s not transparent when I download it on my phone :(
Do you have any suggestions?

[@user-pb9bh6qd7r]

What about for printing t-shirts, it won't work if I download a PDF for print for the best quality print.

[@Pathibart]

Its not giving me an option to change to white, i type ffffff and it just stays black

[@thatoobvious7560]

They want me to pay to access "Transparent background" 😢

[@steveshkunda]

Thanks

[@justaskdad]

I want to see it transparent "grayed out checker box" in the design, not in download.

[@ravanlp]

thank you so much! You're a life saver!

[@Ravenlashaee_]

thank you

[@user-rm6it7kl1q]

What size document or design is needed

[@Catboy_Yuki]

SO THATS HOW YOU DO IT

[@RobertNischwitz]

i guess canva figured this out. this does not work for me. when i select transparency it always asks me to pay for pro version.

[@RenT2KiLL284]

Thanks a lot done !

[@carolf.8097]

I have the Pro version, and it DOESNT work! you end up with a black background. I make designs to put on products I sell on Red bubble, and the design comes out with a black background on my products. Tee shirts etc, need a transparent background. I think Canva did something, because in the past ive been able to make it work but not any more!!

[@pixelandbracket]

what filetype are you exporting?

[@SupportViews]

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much sir

[@loprindex8720]

[@marianofuntime8366]

Is there a way to add imges in bulk?

[@Ashy_Girly_]

Not working for me! I have Canva Pro and it is not allowing me to check the boxes!

[@abdullahsalman6296]

شكرا

[@archanasingh2439]

Thank you ❤ got it

[@Mrgrape515]

Easier way just enable it and screenshot it

[@graghoul]

thank you very much

[@PouyaGolestaneh]

How about Gif?

[@ReviewMonkey-fv8dv]

didn't work for me

[@theresebouchie1248]

How do I do this with white text? The text no longer shows if I have a white background. Thanks.

[@emocowboy1322]

I had that issue and I figured out that you have to make the background a different color so it can detect where to put the transparency

[@Kais_tv]

Thanks XD 👍

[@nicoleorozcorealtor]

I have pro and it still won't save as transparent! I am on the free trial. Will it work on the free trial?

[@InspiredDishant]

Yes

[@deidreowens9799]

I have the same issue. I have Pro and it will not save with transparency........

[@lalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaz]

⁠@@deidreowens9799 I see this is an old comment but wondering if you ever figured out the transparency to work?

[@lalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaz]

I see this is an old comment but wondering if you ever figured out the transparency to work on the trial? Having the same exact issue

[@marlonoreilly]

That didn't help me at all. I need to take my photo, remove the background, THEN make it transparent behind it. When I download it that way, it still has a big white box around the photo.

[@pixelandbracket]

Don’t download a jpg, download a png and make sure you select to include transparency when you download it. Use this tutorial to remove background: ua-cam.com/video/72o49TvDPeI/v-deo.html

[@marlonoreilly]

@@pixelandbracket for some reason it just didn't do that for me the first time. It left a big white square behind my photo

[@izzyxvibes]

Please make a mobile version 😭
