Visual Editor

You've generated your visuals and they look great — but you need to tweak a headline, swap a font, or drop in your logo. Instead of regenerating the entire image, you can open the Visual Editor and make changes directly on the visual.

Think of it like a lightweight design tool built right into Canvora.

What Is the Visual Editor?

The Visual Editor is a layer-based editor that lets you modify text, images, and layout directly on your generated visuals. It's different from AI editing (which regenerates the image from a prompt) — the Visual Editor gives you hands-on control over individual elements.

Available on Starter plans and above.

Opening the Visual Editor

1. Click on any completed visual to preview it
2. Click the Visual Editor button (next to Download)
3. Canvora decomposes the image into editable layers — text, images, and a clean background. This is a one-time process that costs a small credit fee
4. The full editor opens in a few seconds. All subsequent edits and saves are free

If the visual was generated with Template Mode (no text), the button shows Add Text instead — you can add your own text layers from scratch.

Editing Text

Click any text layer to select it, or double-click to edit the text inline.

What you can change:

• Content — Rewrite headlines, fix typos, update copy
• Font family — Choose from 40+ professional Google Fonts (Inter, Playfair Display, Space Grotesk, Noto Sans for multilingual, and more)
• Font size — 8pt to 400pt with precise +/- controls
• Font weight — Light to Black (100–900) with a slider
• Italic, underline, strikethrough — Standard text decorations
• Uppercase — One-click text transform
• Alignment — Horizontal (left, center, right) and vertical (top, center, bottom)
• Letter spacing — Fine-tune character spacing (-3 to 20)
• Line height — Adjust line spacing (0.8 to 2.5)

Text Styling

Beyond basic typography, you get full creative control:

• Text color — Pick from your brand palette, 8 default colors, or enter a custom hex code
• Opacity — 0–100% transparency slider
• Text shadow — Presets for none, light, medium, and dark shadows
• Background pill — Add a colored background behind your text, with adjustable border-radius (0–100px) and padding (0–60px)
• Gradient text — Apply color gradients with start/end color pickers, angle control, and 6+ built-in presets

Working with Images & Logos

Image layers (logos, icons, photos) are fully editable:

• Drag to reposition — Click and drag anywhere on the canvas
• Resize — Use the 8-point handles (corners and edges) to scale
• Opacity — Adjust transparency
• Border radius — Round the corners (0–50px)
• Object fit — Choose between contain, cover, or fill
• Upload new images — Add logos, icons, or photos in PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG format

Layer Management

Manage all elements on your visual:

• Add layers — Insert new text or image layers
• Duplicate — Copy any layer with one click
• Delete — Remove layers you don't need
• Reorder — Bring to Front or Send to Back to control overlap
• Layer list — Navigate between layers from the side panel

Undo, Save & Download

• Undo / Redo — Step backward or forward through every change
• Auto-save — Your edits save automatically with a status indicator (unsaved, saving, saved)
• Download — Export your edited visual in PNG, JPG, or WebP at full resolution
• Discard — Revert all unsaved changes to the last saved state

Visual Editor vs AI Edit

Both tools let you modify your visuals, but they work differently:

Use both together: AI Edit for big creative changes (style shifts, layout overhauls), then Visual Editor for final text polish and precise adjustments.

Tips for Better Results

Start with AI Edit for big changes. If you need a fundamentally different look, use AI editing first, then open the Visual Editor for fine-tuning.

Use brand palette colors. When your brand kit is set up, the color picker shows your brand colors for quick access.

Check on mobile. If your visual will be viewed on phones, make sure text is large enough to read at smaller sizes.

Try gradient text. It's a small touch that can make headlines pop — especially on dark backgrounds.
