Image to layers/PSD converter
Image2Layer is a web-based AI tool that converts flat images into editable layered files. It automatically detects subjects, objects, text, shadows, and backgrounds, then separates them into independent layers. The tool supports JPG, PNG, and WebP uploads up to 24MB, and offers two modes: Detailed Layers and Targeted Layer. Users can choose automatic layer count or specify up to 10 layers, and provide optional separation notes to guide the AI. The core features include semantic layer separation, background reconstruction, and export to PNG layers, ZIP packages, or layered PSD files. The workflow is simple: upload an image, let AI split it into layers, then download the result. It is designed for creative workflows, enabling designers and marketers to quickly prepare assets for design revisions, product marketing, animation, game scenes, thumbnails, and client handoff. The tool operates on a credit system, with new users receiving 10 free credits after sign-up. Each generation uses 20 credits. It also provides additional PSD conversion tools such as text-to-PSD, JPG-to-PSD, PNG-to-PSD, and PSD-to-JPG/PNG exports.
