Image to Layers: Turn Any Image into Editable Layers
Image to Layers helps designers, animators, and e-commerce teams turn one flat image into editable layers.
Separate subjects, rebuild hidden backgrounds, and export layered PSD or PNG files in minutes.

What Image to Layers does
Image to Layers performs semantic layer separation on flat artwork. The image to layers workflow removes the subject, rebuilds the hidden background, and exports files your team can keep editing.
Semantic detection
Identify subjects, props, text, and backgrounds as distinct editable parts.
Occlusion filling
Reconstruct the pixels behind a removed subject so parallax moves do not expose holes.
PSD-ready output
Export layered PSD files or ZIP bundles with transparent PNGs and a manifest.
Workflow-friendly
Built for animation prep, product composites, marketing key visuals, and rapid iteration.
Why Image to Layers beats basic background removal
A cutout is not enough for real creative production. Image to Layers produces editable layers you can animate, retouch, and hand off without rebuilding the file from scratch.
How the Image to Layers workflow works
From one flat image to editable layers, Image to Layers keeps the workflow to four quick steps.
Upload source
Add a JPG, PNG, or WebP image and choose the scene you want to split.
Analyze structure
The model detects semantic regions, edges, and hidden background areas.
Review layers
Inspect the generated subject and clean-plate layers before export.
Export PSD or ZIP
Download production-ready files for animation, retouching, or campaign work.
