Canvas Editor
Advanced in-app image editing with layers, masks, annotations, and composition tools. Create complex edits without leaving Chat Video Pro.
When to Use Canvas Editor
Use Canvas when you need precision that a text prompt alone can't provide:
You want to change a specific region of an image (not the whole thing)
You need to erase an object in a precise area
You want to add or replace an element in a specific spot using a brush mask
You're compositing — placing one image into another
Stick to plain image-to-image (no Canvas) when:
You want a global change across the whole image ("make it warmer", "change the style")
You're doing iterative prompt refinement and don't need region control
Speed matters more than precision

Tips for Best Results
Be specific in selections - Clear selections = better results
Use appropriate tools - Brush for organic, rectangle for precise
Describe changes clearly - "Remove this" vs. "change something."
Iterate - Make changes in steps rather than all at once
Use composition mode - Upload images for complex composites
Text overlays - Use annotation mode for graphics
Troubleshooting

Ensure selections are clear and visible
Be more specific in your description
