Turning generated images into editable design layers

Craft works with editable outputs and Magic Layers so teams can separate generated elements, make targeted changes, and refine layouts without rebuilding an entire composition from scratch.

Why the human is still essential here

Humans remain responsible for art direction and for refining layout, hierarchy, typography, and final visual quality.

How people use this

Single-element product swaps

Designers separate the product, props, and background into editable parts so they can update one object without regenerating the full scene.

Localized callout edits

Teams keep the same generated visual but adjust headline areas, promo badges, or language-specific overlays for each market with minimal rework.

Post-generation layout cleanup

AI-generated imagery is converted into editable layers so designers can rebalance spacing, overlays, and visual hierarchy inside the final composition.
