Linearity offers an AI Grab feature in Linearity Curve that separates a photo's main subject from its background in one tap, placing the subject on its own layer and filling in the background behind it automatically. This allows designers to reposition the subject freely within a design without manual cutout work.
Details
AI Grab combines background removal and content-aware fill in a single action. When activated, it isolates the foreground subject onto a separate transparent layer and intelligently fills the background behind it with generated content that matches the surrounding scene. This is distinct from the Background Removal Tool, which simply deletes the background. AI Grab is available in Linearity Curve version 5.12.0 and later, released in late 2024.

The tool automatically selects the best tracing mode for the image type and outputs scalable vector shapes.Creative GenLinearity offered an AI Backgrounds feature in Linearity Curve that generated custom photo backgrounds from a text prompt or preset theme selection. As of the most recently available primary sources, the feature is listed as currently unavailable, with Linearity stating it will return in a future update. When active, the tool allowed Pro or Organization subscribers to type a description or pick a preset style, and the AI produced a new scene around a product or subject without a physical photoshoot.Creative GenLinearity offers an Auto Animate feature in Linearity Move that automatically generates animated transitions between static design frames. Designers create artboards representing key moments of an animation, and the tool produces the in-between motion automatically with one click.
