Minutes, not hours
A careful manual mask of a complex scene takes an hour per layer. The AI splits the whole image in about sixty seconds.
AI Image to Layers
Split any image into editable layers.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP and AI splits it into a full layer stack, not just a background cutout. Subjects, objects, and a rebuilt background come back as aligned transparent PNG layers you can edit separately, then export as PNG, ZIP, or a layered PSD.

Scene splitLayer separation, reimagined by AI
Everything you need to convert a flat image into editable layers. No masking, no pen tool, no Photoshop marathon.
True RGBA layers
Every layer is a real transparent PNG with a proper alpha channel. No rough cutout with jagged white fringes. Stack them and you get the original image back.
Subject / background split
AI understands what's in your image and separates the subject, the background, and the elements in between into their own independent layers.
You pick the count
Choose 2 to 17 layers. AI plans what goes on each layer from your image and prompt, then the model splits to exactly that plan.
Guide it with a prompt
Describe the split you need in plain language. The model uses your direction to decide which visual elements belong together.
PNG & WebP export
Download each layer individually or grab the whole stack at once. Files drop straight into Photoshop, Figma, After Effects, or any editor.
Pay per layer returned
Every layer comes back named, with depth order and placement data. Credits are settled on the layers you actually receive: 10 per layer.
Convert any image into layers in three steps
From one flat picture to a stack of separate, editable layers. No software to install, no masks to paint.
Upload any image
Photos, illustrations, product shots, posters. JPG, PNG, or WebP. One image is all it takes.
Pick the layer count
Choose 2 to 17 layers and, if you like, describe what each layer should contain. AI plans the split for that count before generation.
Download RGBA layers
In about a minute you get the full stack. Each layer is a transparent PNG, ready for any editor.
Why AI layering beats the old way
Manual masking made sense when it was the only option. It isn't anymore.
A stack, not a cutout
Background removers give you exactly two pieces. Image to Layers gives you 2 to 17 independent, recombinable layers.
No skills required
No pen tool, no channels, no refine-edge dialogs. If you can upload a picture, you can produce a layer stack.
Yours to build on
Layers download as standard transparent PNGs that work in every editor. No proprietary format, no lock-in.
Workflow library
Start with the edit you need.
Each workflow opens a ready-to-run workspace with the right model direction, task tracking, output format, and download flow.
Layers for every kind of creative work
One tool, many workflows. Wherever editable layers save you hours, Image to Layers fits in.
Built for the way you work
Designers
Skip the pen tool. Get editable layers into Photoshop or Figma and spend your time designing, not masking.
Video & motion artists
Any still image becomes an animatable scene. Separate planes are ready for parallax and camera projection.
Developers
Decompose images programmatically and pipe RGBA layers straight into your asset pipeline.
