Add, replace, and download images
Place images on the canvas, swap image content, and save images locally.
Adding an image
There are several ways to add an image layer:
- Drag and drop — drag an image file from Finder/Explorer directly onto the canvas. The image is placed where you drop it.
- Media upload — click the Media icon in the toolbar, choose the image upload option, and select a local image file.
- Copy and paste — copy an image from any app or the system clipboard and paste it into the editor (⌘V).
- AI generation — use Create image to generate an image with AI and place it as a new image layer.
Once placed, the image appears as an image layer. Move, resize, and style it like any other layer.
Replacing an image
Replace an image to swap the content while keeping the layer's size, position, and applied effects.
- Select the image layer on the canvas.
- Open the image section in the right inspector.
- Click the image upload/replace button and select a replacement file.
The new image fills the layer frame. If the aspect ratio differs, the image is scaled to fit and may be cropped.
Downloading an image
Save an image layer's content to your local device:
- Select the image layer.
- In the floating inline toolbar, click Download (the arrow-down icon).
- The original or processed image asset is saved to your device.
This is useful for saving AI-generated images before further editing, or for extracting a processed image (after upscaling, adjustment, or inpainting) from the project.
To download an image at its current canvas size, use the Export section in the right inspector instead.
Tips
- When replacing, the original image is stored in the layer history — undo (⌘Z) to revert to the previous image.
- Dragging an image file onto the canvas creates a new image layer; use the replace button when you want to swap an existing layer's source.
- For images that should respond to container sizing, place the image inside a frame and set the image layer's fill mode to Fill, Fit, or Crop in the image settings.
- Download works on AI-generated images as well — use it immediately after generation to keep a copy before any further edits.
