How to place text behind an object using Canva's Magic Grab feature

Upload Your Photo

• Click Uploads in the left sidebar and upload your workout photo, progress shot, or choose one from your existing uploads.

Select the Photo and Use Magic Grab

• Click on your photo to select it.
• In the top toolbar, click Edit Photo → Magic Grab (this will detect the main subject).
• Once Magic Grab finishes processing, you’ll see options to refine the selection — like hair, body, or equipment.

Separate Yourself from the Background

• Click on the subject (yourself, a client, or a piece of equipment) and Canva will automatically separate it from the background.

Add Your Text

• Click Text on the left toolbar and add your session title, special offer, or motivational headline.
• To place the text behind you, select the text box and go to Position → Send Backward until it sits behind the subject.

Refine the Look

• Resize or reposition both your cutout and text for the best balance.
• Adjust the background — blur it slightly or switch to a brand color — to enhance contrast and make your design pop.
