CANVAS AND LAYER EDITOR Take your photos further with a complete non-destructive editor. β€’ Layer System: Combine multiple images and text in a single project. Reorder, lock, or duplicate with ease. β€’ Blend Modes: Create artistic effects using modes like Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, and Lighten. β€’ Professional Adjustments: Control brightness, contrast, saturation, and opacity per individual layer. β€’ Aesthetic Filters: Apply styles like Sepia, Noir, Fade, Chrome, Instant, and Mono. β€’ Flexible Formats: Canvases adapted for social media (1:1, 4:3, 9:16 Story, 16:9). AI MAGIC & PRO TOOLS β€’ AI Background Removal: Automatically remove the background from any photo to integrate it into new scenes or create stickers (Pro Feature). β€’ Unlimited Import: Add as many photos as you need to your canvas.
