Magic Layers lets you edit the text and objects in any image. You can pull the words out as editable text, or split the whole image into separate picture layers and rearrange them. It was previously called Magic Text. You’ll find it in the AI Toolkit under Edit, in the Edit Tools list next to Inpaint, Outpaint, Upscale, Camera Angles, and Relight, or at imagine.art/edit/magic-text.

​
Two ways to edit

​
Edit an image

1

Upload your image

Open Magic Layers and upload an image, or drag and drop it. JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WEBP files up to 30MB are supported.
2

Choose Separate Text or Create Layers

Click Separate Text to make only the text editable, or Create Layers to split the whole image into layers. Your layers appear in the layers panel.
3

Edit your layers

Select a layer on the canvas or in the layers panel, then make your changes. See What you can do with a layer.
4

Download

Download the result when you’re done. The download matches what you see on the canvas.

​
What you can do with a layer

After Create Layers, each picture layer can be:
  • Moved, rotated, and flipped
  • Resized: drag a corner to keep the shape, or a side to stretch it
  • Faded with opacity, or blended with the layers below
  • Hidden, locked, renamed, and reordered
You can undo and redo any change.

​
Turn a layer’s words into editable text

Select a picture layer that contains words and click Separate Text in its toolbar. The words become editable text in the same place.
Separating text takes a moment. Stay on the image until it finishes.

Your edits are saved

Your changes, including separated text, are saved automatically. You can switch to another image or reload the page and come back to the same state.
