HOW TO GET MORE VIEWS ON YOUTUBE LISTS TIPS & TRICKS YOUTUBE

Top Languages on YouTube [All The Stats!]

YouTube is a truly global platform. With the exception of a few countries where, for mostly political reasons, the service is banned (and even in those countries people find a way to watch YouTube) it is used in just about every developed nation in the world.

It makes sense then that the languages used on the platform would be diverse and far-ranging.

It probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone to learn that English is the most-used language on YouTube, but there can be potential growth for your channel in the details of YouTube languages.

Specifically, knowing why certain languages are popular and how you can use those languages to increase your potential audience. In this post, we’re going to take an in-depth look at the top languages on YouTube, including where those languages are being spoken and, as a result, watched.

Top Languages on YouTube in Numbers

When discussing the languages used on YouTube, the natural place to start is regions. Though it is not a hard rule, you can generally tie the most used languages on YouTube to the countries that use the platform the most. Let’s take a look at the top five countries by YouTube views.

Country Views
United States 916 Billion
India 503 Billion
United Kingdom 391 Billion
Brazil 274 Billion
Thailand 207 Billion

Now, on the face of it, it might seem pretty obvious why English is the most used language. After all, English is the primary language of the United States, and the US is responsible for almost twice as many views as India—the next country on the list. There is more to it, however.

Firstly, you will notice that the United Kingdom is third on that list, and their native language is also English.

Rank Language Estimated % of Total Videos Top 3 Countries by YouTube Users
1 English 52% United States, United Kingdom, Canada
2 Spanish 11% Mexico, Spain, Argentina
3 Portuguese 8% Brazil, Portugal, Angola
4 Russian 4% Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan
5 Arabic 3.5% Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria
6 Malay 3% Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei
7 French 2.5% France, Canada (Quebec), Belgium (Wallonia)
8 German 2.5% Germany, Austria, Switzerland
9 Japanese 2% Japan
10 Chinese 2% China, Taiwan, Singapore

The first table was quite lopsided, but now you will note that English language nations combined are responsible for more YouTube views than the rest of the top five nations combined. But let’s go even deeper. India, which was part of the British Empire in the not-too-distant past, boasts an estimated 10% of its population can speak English. Given that India is the second-most populous nation in the world after China, that’s quite a considerable chunk of people. Moving on to Brazil, around 7% of their population list English as a significant language. For Thailand, over a quarter of the population speak English.

So, with all of this information in mind, let’s take another look at our table, but this time we’re going to re-allocate the English-speaking percentages of the non-English nations.

Primary Language Views
English 1,428 billion
Hindi 453 billion
Portuguese (Brazil) 255 billion
Thai (Thailand) 155 billion

Of course, we realise that just because 10% of Indians speak English doesn’t mean that the 10% are responsible for a proportional share of Indian YouTube views, or that them being able to speak English means they would watch English videos. These are not intended to be hard statistics; we are merely illustrating the potential views for these languages. For example, the quarter of Thailand that can speak English may prefer to watch videos in Thai, but they can watch videos in English. In contrast, only a statistically insignificant percentage of the United States would be able to watch a video in Thai.

You will no doubt have noticed now that the top languages have become even more lopsided. At 1,428 billion, English speakers are almost double the combined total of the other three languages (863 billion).

Of course, the reality of these numbers is much messier than our tables suggest. For example, only 78% of the United States list English as their primary language. And the “primary” part is important, especially in cases like the 27% of Thailand that speak English—the fact that they speak English does not mean they don’t speak Thai. But even with these reality checks, it’s hard to ignore that the overwhelming majority of YouTube viewers can speak English, even if it’s not their first language, which makes English the go-to choice for videos. The fact that the majority of YouTube users reside in English speaking countries only serves to reinforce this bias, since most people only upload videos in their primary language.

Should I Make Videos in a Language Other Than my Own?

The ultimate gatekeeper to YouTube success is the quality of your content. If you are not a native English speaker you are, unfortunately, missing out on a significant demographic in your potential audience, but if you can’t make videos in English, you will not gain anything by trying, and you may even harm your channel in the process.

YouTube’s recommendation algorithm pays attention to things like watch time and whether people hang around when they land on one of your videos. If you attempt to make a video in a language you are not comfortable with, and it is hard to understand and puts people off, YouTube may take that as a sign that your videos are not recommendable, which would have a negative impact on your native language videos.

If, on the other hand, you are comfortable in a language (or languages) other than your primary one, it can’t hurt to make videos for that language. However, there is a different problem to deal with, namely one of a cost-benefit nature.

Any given niche will only attract a small percentage of a demographic, whether that demographic is by age, gender, region, or language. Once you factor this in with the percentage of YouTube users that speak a given language and the percentage of those people that might be interested in your video, you could be looking at a very small potential audience gain.

For example, if we go back to the list of nations by most YouTube views that we cited above, you will find Japan down in the twentieth spot with 215 million views. The native primary language of Japan is, as you would expect, Japanese. However, the number of Japanese speakers across the world is relatively small. In fact, the total number of people around the world who speak Japanese is roughly the same as the percentage of Indians who speak English at around 125 million.

If you are Japanese and you can speak fluent English, it would be a no brainer to make videos in English, as it would open you up to a potential audience that is an order of magnitude larger than the audience you would have had with your native tongue. If, on the other hand, English is your primary language and you can also speak Japanese, the potential gains from making videos in Japanese may not be worth the extra effort you would have to put in.

All of this would come secondary to the content, of course. If you are making content that is designed for Japanese people, specifically, the size of the audience is irrelevant.

Making Your Videos Accessible in Languages You Don’t Speak

Learning a language is no small task, and learning it to the degree where you can speak it clearly enough to make YouTube videos is an even bigger feat. Fortunately, you have options.

Pay For Translations

The most expensive option is also the option that provides the best experience for your viewers. There are several services online that will translate a script for as little as a few cents a word, Rev for example, though you will then have to find a voice-over artist who speaks the language you are translating to.

For this option, it is crucial to go to a translation service that specialises in voice-over translation. Having your script translated by a standard translation service will almost certainly result in stilted, awkward speech, so if you are going to take this path, do it right.

There is presently no option for dubbing videos with alternative audio tracks, so you will have to create whole new videos for your alternative languages. You shouldn’t worry too much, though; you’re not likely to be cannibalising your own audience by splitting your views as the people who watch your alternative language videos will have been far less likely to watch the primary language video in the first place.

Subtitles

Subtitles are a great way to make your videos accessible to foreign languages and, depending on how much you are willing to invest in your channel, can even be free thanks to YouTube’s automated captioning and translation services. These will need turning on in your upload settings, but once they are, you can leave the subtitles for all languages to YouTube.

However…

As anyone who has used Google Translate (or any other automated translator) will be able to attest, translation tools aren’t always the most accurate option. Language is complicated, and though AI has provided a path to far more accurate translation, it’s not quite there yet. So, if you are prepared to spend a little money, you can get your subtitles translated professionally.

There are plenty of services online that will do this for you, and they will mostly be cheaper than the voice-over translations we mentioned above. It’s worth noting that if you choose to use this method or the translated voice-over mentioned above, you will need a script that can be translated.

If you script your videos, then you should be able to use your already-written script for this purpose.

However, if you are more of a free spirit when you record, coming up with your dialogue on the spot, there is always the option to pay for transcription services.

I use Rev for all my videos to help caption and translate all my content and broaden its appeal and boost rankings across the web. On their website they offer subtitling and close captioning from as little as $1.25 per minute in multiple languages. Best still it auto uploads to YouTube to make it painlessly easy to use.

How Important is it be Accessible in Other Languages

As with many things on YouTube, the benefits of having your videos accessible to people who speak a different language to you will vary depending on what you are making and who you are making it for.

For the vast majority of YouTubers, there is not a particularly large benefit to having your videos translated or releasing alternate-language versions of them.

It is not that there isn’t potential in those extra views, it is that the effort of producing these extra videos, or the cost of having them translated, is not justified by the benefits. And, while far from perfect, YouTube’s automated translation does do a passable job that would be enough for some people who are especially interested in your content.

For YouTubers who are making videos in a particularly small niche, it may be worth it, however. It is undoubtedly easier to get traction in a smaller niche, but you are, ultimately, working with a much smaller potential audience, which can make the effort of expanding that audience worth the hassle.

What’s more, expanding your audience by making your content accessible in other languages is a win-win situation, since it makes your potential audience larger without increasing your competition, such as would be the case if you increased your potential audience by broadening your niche. There may be YouTubers making videos in your additional language that compete with you, but they will only be competing in that language.

For extremely successful YouTubers, having your videos accessible to other languages becomes worth it again, not because of any significant increase in views as a result, but because the cost of making those videos accessible becomes less significant. For someone making videos for fun in the evening after their day job, paying $150 to have a video translated or transcribed and a voice-over made is not a particularly attractive prospect. But if your YouTube channel is regularly making you thousands of dollars a month, it can’t hurt to reinvest some of that money back into your channel.

Of course, not everything has to be a cost-benefit analysis. If you just want to make your content available to more people, regardless of whether the benefit is worth the effort, the tools are there for you to do so.

Top 5 Tools To Get You Started on YouTube

Very quickly before you go here are 5 amazing tools I have used every day to grow my YouTube channel from 0 to 30K subscribers in the last 12 months that I could not live without.

1. VidIQ helps boost my views and get found in search

I almost exclusively switched to VidIQ from a rival in 2020.

Within 12 months I tripled the size of my channel and very quickly learnt the power of thumbnails, click through rate and proper search optimization. Best of all, they are FREE!

2. Adobe Creative Suite helps me craft amazing looking thumbnails and eye-catching videos

I have been making youtube videos on and off since 2013.

When I first started I threw things together in Window Movie Maker, cringed at how it looked but thought “that’s the best I can do so it’ll have to do”.

Big mistake!

I soon realized the move time you put into your editing and the more engaging your thumbnails are the more views you will get and the more people will trust you enough to subscribe.

That is why I took the plunge and invested in my editing and design process with Adobe Creative Suite. They offer a WIDE range of tools to help make amazing videos, simple to use tools for overlays, graphics, one click tools to fix your audio and the very powerful Photoshop graphics program to make eye-catching thumbnails.

Best of all you can get a free trial for 30 days on their website, a discount if you are a student and if you are a regular human being it starts from as little as £9 per month if you want to commit to a plan.

3. Rev.com helps people read my videos

You can’t always listen to a video.

Maybe you’re on a bus, a train or sat in a living room with a 5 year old singing baby shark on loop… for HOURS. Or, you are trying to make as little noise as possible while your new born is FINALLY sleeping.

This is where Rev can help you or your audience consume your content on the go, in silence or in a language not native to the video.

Rev.com can help you translate your videos, transcribe your videos, add subtitles and even convert those subtitles into other languages – all from just $1.50 per minute.

A GREAT way to find an audience and keep them hooked no matter where they are watching your content.

4. Learn new skills for FREE with Skillshare

I SUCK reading books to learn, but I LOVE online video courses.

Every month I learn something new. Editing, writing, video skills, how to cook, how to run a business – even how to meditate to calm a busy mind.

I find all of these for FREE with Skillshare – Sign up, pick all the courses you want and cancel anytime you need.

5. Shutterstock helps me add amazing video b-roll cutaways

I mainly make tutorials and talking head videos.

And in this modern world this can be a little boring if you don’t see something funky every once in a while.

I try with overlays, jump cuts and being funny but my secret weapon is b-roll overlay content.

I can talk about skydiving, food, money, kids, cats – ANYTHING I WANT – with a quick search on the Shutterstock website I can find a great looking clip to overlay on my videos, keeping them entertained and watching for longer.

They have a wide library of videos, graphics, images and even a video maker tool and it wont break the bank with plans starting from as little as £8.25 ($9) per month.

Maximizing Your Time: How to Balance a 9-5 Job and a Profitable Side Hustle

Side hustles can be a great way to make some extra money outside of your 9-5 job.

With the rise of the gig economy, there are now more opportunities than ever to earn money on the side.

Whether you’re looking to pay off debt, save for a vacation, or just have a little extra spending money, a side hustle can help you reach your financial goals.

The list of side hustles below includes a variety of options that can be done even if you have a full-time job. From online tutoring and teaching to freelance writing and editing, there are many ways to use your skills and expertise to earn extra money.

Another advantage of side hustles is that they can be a great way to explore new interests and passions. For example, if you love animals, pet-sitting or dog-walking can be a great side hustle. If you enjoy working with kids, babysitting can be a great option. If you’re handy and enjoy home improvement tasks, handyman services can be a great way to earn extra money.

Pros and Cons of Live Streaming on YouTube: What You Need to Know

Live streaming on YouTube has become increasingly popular in recent years, with many content creators opting to stream their content in real-time rather than pre-recording it.

There are many pros and cons to live streaming on YouTube, and in this article, we will explore the key points to consider when deciding whether or not to include live streaming in your content strategy.

Pros of Live Streaming on YouTube

  1. Monetization: One of the biggest benefits of live streaming on YouTube is the opportunity to monetize your content. YouTube allows creators to earn money from their live streams through Super Chat and Channel Memberships, which allows viewers to donate money to their favourite creators. Additionally, you can also monetize your live streams through ads and sponsorships, providing you with a steady stream of income.
  2. Increased Audience Retention: Live streaming has been shown to increase audience retention compared to pre-recorded videos. This is because live streams are inherently more engaging and allow viewers to interact with the content in real-time. As a result, you can expect higher viewing numbers and more interaction with your audience during live streams.
  3. YouTube Premieres: YouTube Premieres is a feature that allows you to pre-record your live stream and have it premiere at a specific time. This allows you to take advantage of the benefits of live streaming while still having the ability to edit your content before it goes live.
  4. Video On Demand: Another advantage of live streaming on YouTube is the ability to make your content available for Video on Demand (VOD). This means that even if your live stream is over, your audience can still watch it and interact with the content at any time.

I use Gyre to livestream to my YouTube channel 24/7 and you can too. It’s cheap and keep your livestream live for you without the need to keep your computer on all night.

Cons of Live Streaming on YouTube

  1. Technical Limitations: One of the biggest limitations of live streaming is the potential for technical difficulties. Live streams can be disrupted by poor internet connectivity, audio and video problems, and other technical issues. This can result in a poor viewing experience for your audience and potentially damage your reputation as a content creator.
  2. Real-Time Interaction: While live streaming is inherently more engaging than pre-recorded content, it also requires you to be more present and engaged with your audience. This can be challenging if you’re not used to interacting with your audience in real-time, and it can be difficult to keep up with the pace of live streaming.
  3. Video Quality: While live streaming allows you to connect with your audience in real-time, it also means that the video quality may not be as high as a pre-recorded video. This is due to the fact that live streaming relies on real-time encoding, which can result in lower video quality compared to pre-recorded content.

Livestreaming on YouTube for Viewers

  1. Real-Time Interaction: Live streaming provides viewers with the opportunity to interact with content in real-time, allowing them to participate in the conversation and engage with the content in a more meaningful way.
  2. Behind-the-Scenes Access: Live streaming provides viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at the content creation process, giving them an insight into the creative process that goes into creating content.
  3. Increased Engagement: Live streaming is inherently more engaging than pre-recorded content, providing viewers with an opportunity to connect with their favourite creators and other viewers in real-time.

Live streaming on YouTube has its pros and cons, and it’s up to each content creator to decide whether or not it’s right for them.

Consider the limitations and benefits outlined above, as well as your own personal goals and audience, when deciding whether or not to include live streaming in your content strategy.

What Type Of Games Are Popular On YouTube?

It’s fair to say that YouTube has become one of the main platforms for gaming content online. Alongside Twitch, it dominates the online world. Millions of viewers tune in daily to watch their favourite creators play the games that they want to see. It may be less about the game, and more about the creator in some cases.

There are many different categories of games that are popular to watch. Often, new releases do well, but there are decade-old games, such as Minecraft, that will still pull in the big figures.

If you’re an aspiring YouTuber looking for the next game to play, or you’re just interested, then this article will be for you.

What Type Of Games Are Popular On YouTube? 1

Battle Royale Games

Let’s start this list of popular games on YouTube with one of the rising genres of recent years. Battle Royale games have been popular to watch on YouTube since the rise of PUBG back in the ARMA days. The genre has evolved since, with many flops, such as Battlefields interpretation. But these flops have helped pave the way for the success we see now.

Games such as Fortnite and Warzone are easily some of the most popular games out there to play and watch, not just battle royale games. They are so popular to watch that millions watch even if they are not interested in playing. It’s the high-risk, high-reward quick gameplay that people love to watch.

The quick way these games wrap up also appeals to the modern YouTube viewer. Back in 2010, people would be happy to sit down and watch a 3-hour daily let’s play. Nowadays, a short 10-20min video of an edited game will be more than enough. There are plenty of examples online for you to watch, to understand how this trend has changed and how you could get involved if you wished to.

What Type Of Games Are Popular On YouTube? 2

First-Person Shooters

Easily one of the pioneers of gaming on YouTube, first-person shooters are always popular. They first took off following the rise of the Halo and Call of Duty franchises. With Halo, it was all about the creative machinima videos that told a captivating story using assets from within the game.

For games like Call of Duty, it was all about the gameplay and the high-scoring multiplayer games. Gamers loved watching those highly-skilled at the game take on challenges and perform to the best of their abilities. In time, this led to gaming organisations such as OpTic and FAZE recruiting members and dominating the YouTube scene.

This hasn’t slowed down. Any new first-person shooter will get lots of views on YouTube, especially if they are well received by fans. Many gamers will watch their favourite players and streamers play the shooters online first, to see if it’s something that they would enjoy.

Developers are fully aware of this and will partner with top gamers and influencers to show off their game, and promote it accordingly.

What Type Of Games Are Popular On YouTube? 3

Gambling Games

Gambling games have been popular on YouTube for quite a while now. There are many different types of games that fall into this category. One of the biggest games that led to this came in the form of FIFA, back when their Ultimate Team game mode was launched. In this game type, players could purchase packs, also known as loot boxes, which allowed them to earn some players for their team.

People loved the gambling element of the game and loved watching their favourite influencers and streamers have a chance of winning a big prize. This has evolved further, and now there are many games that offer micro transactions, that allow gamers to purchase loot boxes to receive cosmetics or other in-game rewards.

YouTube is also a place for many people to watch casino games, both online and in actual physical tournaments. When viewers watch these types of games, it can inspire them to want to play themselves. You can take a look at the offerings on OnlineCasinos.co.uk to see what sort of games can be played. These types of games will continue to be played and watched on YouTube, so it’s a trend you should keep a close eye on.

Survival Games

In a similar timeframe, survival games have also been popular on YouTube for a while. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, survival games offered a great way for people to watch games they had no access to. This may have been due to console/equipment limitations, or just because they couldn’t afford it.

In some cases, some gamers may be too afraid to play some survival games, or even horror games, on their own. When they are watching others play these games, they find it is a good way to discover the story organically the way it was intended.

There are also some group survival games that are just good fun to watch. Some YouTube communities are formed around games such as Minecraft and Rust, and people will tune into episodes daily to see what people are up to.

What Type Of Games Are Popular On YouTube? 5

MOBA Games

Some of the most popular types of games that exist in the world can be found in the form of MOBA games. These types of games are multiplayer games, with MOBA standing for multiplayer online battle arena. There are many popular games that fall into this category. You may have heard about games such as League of Legends and Dota 2. Not only are these games popular to play, but they are also popular to watch.

There are regular international tournaments that League of Legends and Dota players go through. The prize pools are also quite massive. For example, The International 2021 Dota 2 tournament had a prize pool of $40,018,400.00 up for grabs. This is quite exciting to watch for this reason, and fans will watch in stadiums as well as through streaming platforms such as YouTube

There is also plenty of space for casual players in these games. Many people watch their favourite MOBA players play these games casually, as they are more interested in this approach, as the personalities can shine through more.

There are plenty of reasons why people watch these games, whether it be for the competition itself, or just for the personalities of those who play. Consider tuning into some games to see why they are so popular.

12 YouTube Features KILLED OFF by YouTube

YouTube is constantly evolving and updating to better serve its users, but with change comes the loss of beloved features. Here are some of the features that YouTube users miss the most:

  • The YouTube Video Editor: This feature was a game changer for amateur filmmakers, allowing them to edit their videos directly on YouTube. It was removed in September 2017, and users were left to either use third-party software or upload pre-edited videos. But don’t worry, there are still a few online alternatives to the Video Editor.
  • YouTube annotations: Remember those little clickable notes that used to pop up on videos? Well, they were called annotations, and they were removed in May 2017. YouTube users loved using annotations to add extra information or links to their videos, but Google decided to encourage users to use end screens and cards instead.
  • Google Video: Google Video was a precursor to YouTube, but it was eventually merged with the video-sharing giant. Unfortunately, the Google Video website was shut down in August 2012, but its legacy lives on through YouTube.
  • Google Video Player: This stand-alone media player was a great way to watch Google Videos, but it was also shut down in 2012.
  • Google Video for Business: Businesses could use this feature to host and share videos on their own websites, but it was also shut down in 2012.
  • YouTube comments on Google+: YouTube comments were integrated with the Google+ social network in 2013, but in 2019, Google announced that it would be separating the comments feature from Google+ and bringing it back to the classic YouTube commenting system.

5 Apps That Support Image Background Delete

When dealing with content creation and online marketing, the ability to remove a background from an image is both useful and one that you might find yourself using surprisingly often. Despite its usefulness, it’s not something that is intuitively easy to do if you don’t already have advanced knowledge of graphics software. Fortunately, help is at hand!

There are many apps available to help you perform this useful task, as well as relatively simple methods for achieving the effect in software that isn’t specifically designed for this purpose. And, in this post, we’re going to cover all the best solutions!

Why Remove the Background From an Image or Video?

For the people reading this blog, likely the most common reason you will encounter for removing the background from an image is cropping out yourself (or someone else) for promotional material. Think profile pics, headshots, marketing material, etc.

It could also be for more technical reasons, such as removing a background so you apply different effects to the subject before recombining it. You also might want to remove the background from a video so you can overlay certain elements from that video in other things.

The Best Solutions for Image Background Deletion

To our list! Here are our best solutions for image background delete and video background delete functionality;

Pixelcut – The Mobile Solution

Being able to quickly modify images on your mobile devices can make life so much easier, and Pixelcut allows you to do just that. With surprising ease, you can separate a subject from its background in just a couple of minutes.

Once separated, you can export your image on a plain white background, a range of backdrops, colours, and gradients, and you can apply a host of effects to the cutout, such as drop shadows and sticker effects.

The app is free to try, but you will be looking at a subscription fee for the pro plan if you want to use it to its full potential.

Leawo Photo BG Remover – The Desktop Solution

This offering is a desktop application available in both Windows and Mac flavours. It allows you to perform a range of enhancements to photographs, including easily snipping the background away from a subject.

This app isn’t free, but you do get a lot of other functionality in the bargain.

Remove.bg – Image Background Delete Online

Cloud apps are changing the way we use software—indeed, have changed the way we use software—so it’s only fitting that we have a web-based option in this list.

Remove.bg performs the same useful background removal function as the tools above, but it does it from the comfort of your web browser, all for free. You simply upload your image and let the web app do the work.

The app doesn’t offer any fine control over the removal process, so you may find it’s not the best solution if you have something a little awkward to cut out. What it does have, however, is a lot of filters and backdrops you can export your image with. From blurred backgrounds to a selection of backdrops, and even uploading your own image to use as a backdrop.

Filmora – Video Background Delete

Removing the background from a video is a whole different ball game. Essentially it is the same process as removing the background from an image, but that process has to be repeated over and over. Depending on your video recording settings, it might be 60 images for every second of the video.

Naturally, this can take a little while to complete, and you don’t want to sit around waiting for it to finish only to find the background removal settings weren’t quite right.

Filmora is a tool designed specifically for this use case, providing an intuitive solution to the problem.

Apowersoft Background Eraser – Batch Removal

Removing the background from a video may be like removing the background from a large batch of images, but sometimes you might want to actually remove the background from a large batch of images.

This tool is available on most platforms and allows the user to remove a subject from its background, and also supports batch processing of this function. That means you can set it up to go through a big batch of images and leave it to it.

5 Apps That Support Image Background Delete 1

Honourable Mentions

We tried to keep the list to a range of different use cases, such as mobile, web, etc. These are apps that would have made the list if it had been more open.

  • Inshot Background Eraser
  • Picsart
  • VistaCreate
  • Superimpose

The Photoshop Solution

If you are a paying subscriber to Adobe Photoshop, you already have a powerful tool for removing backgrounds at your disposal. Adobe added this useful function to its flagship image editing software in 2021, making removing backgrounds as easy as clicking a button.

Unfortunately, if your version of Photoshop hails from the pre-subscription model days, you won’t have this tool, and you’ll have to resort to the old-fashioned method of meticulously cutting out your subject by hand.

Of course, you can still use any of the above tools and then bring the cutout object into Photoshop afterwards if you’re more comfortable there.

The Canva Solution

Canva has become an almost ubiquitous presence in the world of online marketing and social media management, but it may surprise many of you to know that, for pro users at least, Canva has a built-in tool for background removal.

Simply head over to the Discover Apps section of Canva, search for the Background Removal tool, and follow the instructions!

Final Thoughts

Removing the background from your images used to be something of an arduous task that could be achieved without a great deal of image editing skill, but would take a long time. And the less skill you had, the longer it would take.

Thanks to the advent of machine learning and AI in image manipulation, it is now possible to achieve things like this at the click of a button. And background removal isn’t the only advanced function content creators can take advantage of these days.
