Canva Magic Layers

Use Magic Layers in Canva to quickly separate elements in an image so you can move, edit, or redesign its individual parts. This tool is great to use for editing AI-generated images! Just note that this feature currently works only with PNG or JPEG files, so be sure your image is in one of those formats before getting started.
