Image to Layers
ImageLayered is a web-based AI tool designed to separate flat images into multiple editable, transparent RGBA layers. Users upload a PNG or JPEG image and the AI automatically decomposes it into named layers representing objects, subjects, text, and backgrounds. The service offers two primary modes: Quick Mode, which splits an image into a specified number of layers with one credit per layer, and Precision Mode, which uses two credits per layer and allows users to set the number of layers and optionally describe what to isolate. A unique aspect is its smart background reconstruction, which inpaints the areas hidden behind extracted objects, producing a complete base layer ready for further editing. The platform emphasizes accessibility, aiming to remove the need for manual selection or masking expertise typically associated with tools like Photoshop. Each extracted layer is returned as a transparent PNG, enabling users to move, recolor, replace, or export objects independently. The interface includes a visual selector to locate each layer within the original image, and the system supports recursive decomposition for more refined layering. ImageLayered is positioned as an affordable, fast alternative to traditional editing workflows. Pricing is credit-based, with actual charges applied only for output layers. The tool is currently in active service and targets users who need quick, high-quality layer separation for design, e-commerce, content creation, and other image-editing tasks.

Problem solved
Manually separating an image into distinct editable elements with transparency is time-consuming and requires advanced photo editing skills. ImageLayered automates this process using AI to decompose flat images into named RGBA layers, including an inpainted background, allowing users to edit objects independently without manual masking or selection.
Use cases
- Separate product photos into individual object layers for e-commerce listings
- Extract all people from a group photo as separate transparent PNGs
- Create layered design assets for graphic design without manual cutout work
- Replace or remove objects in photos by editing isolated layers
- Decompose images into components for animation or video compositing
- Prepare images for print or web design with fully isolated elements
Audience
- Designers
- Content Creators
- Business Users
- Hobbyists
- Startups
Pros
- Fully automated layer separation with AI
- Produces transparent RGBA layers with named objects
- Smart background reconstruction fills hidden areas
- No manual masking or Photoshop skills required
- Credit-based pricing charged only for actual outputs
Cons
- Precision mode requires PNG/JPEG images at least 512x512 pixels
- Layer count is limited (2-13 layers per run)
- Requires internet connection as it is a cloud service
- Pricing per layer may become costly for many-layer extractions
- Unable to batch process images in one go based on current info
