Question 1

Is Magic Layers Free?

Accepted Answer

Magic Layers is currently a Pro‑tier feature in beta for supported regions. Free accounts may see the Labs toggle but might not get functional Magic Layers access. Canva Pro users usually get more AI credits per month, which helps if you use Magic Layers often.

Question 2

Does Magic Layers Work On Mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Magic Layers works on the Canva mobile app as well. However, you need to enable the feature from the desktop version of Canva by toggling the Labs option on before it becomes available in the mobile editor.

Question 3

How Do I Turn On The Magic Layers Beta In My Canva Account?

Accepted Answer

To enable Magic Layers, go to Canva > your profile icon > Account Settings > Labs (on the left sidebar), and toggle the Magic Layers Beta switch to On. Then refresh your browser and open a new design to see the feature fully synchronized in your account.

Question 4

What Is The Maximum Image Size For Canva Magic Layers In The 2026 Beta?

Accepted Answer

Currently, Canva Magic Layers supports images up to 5000 pixels on the longest edge. If your image exceeds this resolution, you will receive an 'Unsupported Dimension' error and will need to resize the image before running Magic Layers.

Question 5

Why Did Magic Layers Fail To Make My Text Editable?

Accepted Answer

Magic Layers uses the Canva Design Model to read text, but it doesn’t always convert it into an editable text box. If your text is highly stylised, overlapping with busy backgrounds, or part of a complex logo, Magic Layers may keep it as a graphic layer instead of converting it into live text.
