Build beyond a single frame
Photo Layers
Your photos don’t have to stand alone!
Combine multiple images to create collages that capture more than a single moment, whether that’s a day, a weekend, or a full story. Hide frames and captions for a cleaner look, add subtle shadows for depth, or turn a photo into a soft, blurred background.
Text Layers
Add headings and typography directly to your canvas. Text layers support fill, stroke, and gradients, giving you precise control over how your words sit alongside your images. New display fonts pair naturally with the handwritten styles you already know.
Shape Layers
Add stars, hearts, lines, and more. Fill them with colour, texture, patterns, or even photos. Simple tools, with a surprising amount of flexibility.
Textures
Choose from subtle materials like sand, paper, wood, marble, and concrete. Use them as full backgrounds or within shapes to add character without overpowering your photo.
Aspect Ratios
Select from aspect ratios that match common social platforms, so there’s no resizing or reworking later.
What’s next
This is just the beginning for the Canvas Editor.
We’re already working on drawing layers, stickers, texture packs, and templates to make it faster and more expressive to use.
We’d love your feedback
This update moves Instillr closer to a complete flow, from capture through to sharing.
