Learn how to use Canva's new Magic Layers feature to turn any flat AI image into a fully editable design — enabling you to fix small details in generations without recreating entire outputs.
Step-by-step:
- On the Canva homepage, select Magic Layers, click Select Media, and choose an image
- Wait 30-60 seconds while Canva processes the image. It reads the layout, identifies text, objects, and background, and splits them into individual layers
- Click any layer and edit it directly. Swap a date, change a tagline, fix a typo. Or click an object layer to move it, resize it, or delete it entirely
- Drop in a replacement image (new product photo, logo), and it slots into the existing layout. Adjust the background color using the color picker if needed
Pro tip: To use Magic Layers on an existing design, open the design, click Uploads to add your image, select it, click Edit in the toolbar, then select Magic Layers.
