Canva Photo Editing Just Got Magical

👋 Welcome back to Brand Locally!
Today, we’re exploring Canva’s latest AI photo tools — and trust me, they’re not just filters and cropping anymore.

We’re talking:

• 🪄 Magic Grab: Move people around in your photo like drag-and-drop magic
• 🧽 Magic Eraser: Clean up anything — gone like it was never there

Let’s dive in.

✨ What is Magic Grab?

Magic Grab is Canva’s AI tool that lets you:

• Instantly select the subject in a photo
• Move, resize, or reposition it
• Keep the rest of the photo completely untouched

🧪 Here’s how it works:

1. Click on your photo
2. Select Edit
3. Choose Magic Grab
4. You’ll see options like:
   • Brush: Manually select the object
   • Click Wand: Let Canva detect the subject automatically (we’ll use this)

👉 So I selected the girl in the photo.
Now I can drag her across the scene, resize her, or even place her next to someone else for a new conversation dynamic.

She’s now facing the right way — but wait, the original version of her is still there…

🧽 Time to Use Magic Eraser

Magic Eraser removes unwanted elements from your photo — like they were never even there.

🧪 Here’s how to use it:

1. Go to Edit
2. Select Magic Eraser
3. Choose either:
   • Brush to paint over the object
   • Click Mode for quick, smart erasing

I clicked on a chair nobody was using — poof, gone.
Then erased the duplicate person in the background — super clean result.

🧩 Bonus Tip: Group and Align

Once you’ve made your edits:

• Select the subject + the photo
• Click Group to lock them together
• Zoom in and align it perfectly

Just like that — your image is transformed.
No Photoshop, no layers, no hours of editing.

🎉 That’s a Wrap!

🔥 In just a few clicks, you can:

• Change the focus of your photo
• Reposition people like a movie scene
• Erase anything that doesn’t belong

Canva’s Magic Tools turn photo editing into true drag-and-drop magic.
