# Duplicate a layer within an image

You can duplicate any layer, including the Background layer, within an image.

Select one or more layers in the Layers palette, and do one of the following to duplicate it:

- To duplicate and rename the layer, choose Layer > Duplicate Layer, or choose Duplicate Layer from the Layers palette More menu. Name the duplicate layer, and click OK.

- To duplicate without naming, select the layer and drag it to the New Layer button at the top of the Layers palette.

- Right-click the layer name or thumbnail, and choose Duplicate Layer.
