Linearity 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.

Details

The feature uses a custom generative AI model built on Stable Diffusion and ControlNet, trained by Linearity's machine learning team for approximately 240 hours on an A6000 Ada GPU. It takes a raster image as input, isolates the foreground subject, and generates a new background that accounts for lighting, shadows, and reflections. Users can choose from preset theme categories (such as Minimalist, Nature, or Cityscapes) or write their own text prompt of up to 400 characters.

ProductivityLinearity offers an AI-powered Auto Trace feature in Linearity Curve that converts raster images — such as scanned sketches, photos, or digital illustrations — into editable vector graphics in seconds. The tool automatically selects the best tracing mode for the image type and outputs scalable vector shapes.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.ProductivityLinearity 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.
