How to Create Reusable Branded Photos with the Background Removed
You see it all over Instagram… everyone seems to have super cute designed posts with cutouts of themselves. And you just want to know how to do that, right?
Well, just for context here, removing the background of an image used to take a graphic designer HOURS to perfectly, and meticulously, carve out every detail all inside of Photoshop. Essentially making a design like this nearly impossible to replicate for the fast-moving world of designing posts for social media.
Then we saw tools introduced on the internet that let you quickly remove the background of your image!! Software like this would often have a catch…
… the cutout would have chunks missing
… the cutout would be super glitchy or low quality
… or you would have to pay to have the unwatermarked version.
As always - CANVA TO THE RESCUE!!
