Layerre imports your Canva template, makes its layers dynamic and generates endless on-brand variations through a simple UI or a clean API

Every growth team hits the same wall. The ad concept works, so now you need it in twelve sizes, five languages and forty product variations, and someone is stuck duplicating Canva pages until midnight. Layerre removes that job. You import the design you already have, mark which layers should change, and from then on every new version is a row of data rather than an afternoon of clicking.

The clever part is that nothing has to be rebuilt. Designers keep designing in Canva, the tool they know, and Layerre turns the finished file into a flexible template where text, images, colours and sizes can all be swapped automatically. Developers get a tidy REST API to generate variants and fetch outputs; everyone else can drive it from the dashboard or wire it into Make, Zapier or n8n.

Where it shines

Ad creative at scale, social posts fed from a spreadsheet, personalized images, dynamic Open Graph images, e-commerce mockups, certificates and multi-page PDFs. Customers on its site describe using it to generate Etsy listing mockups without touching Photoshop, and to make template-based asset creation fit cleanly into automated client workflows. Every render is predictable and consistent, and every asset is stored so you can grab it from the dashboard or the API later.

The best way to start

Open the free plan and import one Canva design you reuse constantly, a weekly social post or a promo banner. Make the headline and image dynamic, then connect a Google Sheet through Make or Zapier so each new row produces a finished graphic. Layerre's site has step-by-step video tutorials for exactly these flows, including Sheets to Drive and Airtable to Layerre. When the volume grows, the paid tiers simply add more renders and multi-page imports.

Your designer makes it once in Canva, Layerre makes the next thousand.
