Made for photographers

Built for photographers who care how the final frame feels.

layrd sits between basic editors and heavyweight design tools: the speed of a mobile app with the polish of an editorial layout studio.

You shouldn’t jump between apps just to add a border, depth-aware title, clean crop, carousel export, and saved project file.

layrd combines local AI, 40+ curated templates, saved presets, animated text, and native export flows, from capture to publishable composition in one calm tool.

Depth-aware type

Text that slips behind the subject.

The subject stays visually in front while the title slips behind it, giving your composition a more spatial, cinematic editorial feel.

Powered by on-device depth estimation. No manual masking.Try it free in your browser

Carousel studio

One photo.
Multiple swipes.

Split panoramic shots into clean, seamless Instagram carousel frames while the composition stays connected from edge to edge.

Up to ten aligned panels from one wide frame.
Final MP4 export

Animated type

Give the words
their own rhythm.

Choose a motion style, tune its pace, and let typography move through the composition. Export the finished layout without rebuilding it anywhere else.
