The problem it solves

Every time you need a new version of a graphic, whether it's a promo image, social post, or product mockup, you end up recreating the design from scratch in Canva. Swapping out text or a photo for a dozen variations eats up time that should go toward getting the content out the door.

Who it fits

A marketing team or content creator who produces many versions of the same graphic design.

How it works

  1. You provide the link to a Canva design
  2. The system converts it into a reusable template
  3. You specify new text or images for the layers you want to change
  4. A finished image variant is generated and returned as a ready-to-use image link
What you get

Design variants generated without touching Canva

You turn one Canva design into a template and generate new image variants automatically with your own text and images.

What you get

A finished image variant with your custom text and images, ready to plug into a webpage, post, or email.

What you need

A Layerre account and a Canva design with link-sharing turned on.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
