Canva Introduces Magic Layers For Editable Images
Canva is launching Magic Layers in public beta today in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, a tool that separates flat PNG and JPEG files into layered, fully editable design components. The feature, announced by chief product officer Cameron Adams, lets users select objects, text boxes and graphics individually without re-prompting, easing targeted edits for AI-generated or standard images. It may affect provenance signals for creators.
