Technical showcase

An image layer workspace for real files

Upload a product image, use Auto layer count, and inspect reusable product pieces on a checkerboard transparency preview before downloading PNG layers or a ZIP. The workspace is designed for practical review: compare the original file with the generated image layers, decide whether the output is useful, and only then move the transparent PNG files into your editing workflow.

Original image

Start from a flat JPG, PNG, or WebP image when the original PSD, Figma, or layered source file is not available.

Layer toggles

Inspect generated image layers on a checkerboard transparency background, then hide or show each layer to check separation quality.

PNG and ZIP download

Download each transparent PNG layer or package all layers in a ZIP for handoff, editing, and reuse.

Real Auto output

A beverage ad separated into editable image layers

This real Auto output separates a flat beverage ad into reusable PNG image layers: background, citrus, liquid splash, can, and foreground ice. It shows the kind of separation that is useful when you need to reuse a product, replace a background, or rebuild part of a finished ad without the original design file.

Workflow

From one source image to reusable image layers

A focused image layer workflow for turning a flat visual into editable assets without rebuilding the design by hand. ImageLayer is most useful when you already have a finished image but need separate objects, backgrounds, labels, shadows, or foreground details for a new layout.

1

Upload image

Use a JPG, PNG, or WebP image you own or have permission to process. Clear subjects, visible edges, and simple overlaps usually produce stronger image layers.

2

Choose layer count

Pick Auto, 2, 4, 6, or 8 layers. Auto is best when you do not know how many parts the source image contains; higher layer counts use more credits.

3

Preview and download

Toggle image layers online, check if important objects are separated cleanly, then download transparent PNG files or ZIP.

Why it is different

Image layer separation vs background removal

Background removers separate one foreground cutout from one background. Image layer separation is broader: it tries to split a flat image into multiple editable image layers so the result is easier to edit, remix, and reuse. Use a background remover when you only need the main subject; use ImageLayer when you need several reusable parts from the same image.

Objects

Extract products, people, stickers, props, and other elements that can be moved into new designs.

Backgrounds

Keep background image layers separate for replacement, cleanup, or layout changes.

Details

Separate visible text, decorations, shadows, and foreground details when the model can identify meaningful layers.

Creative workflows

Built for design and content work

Use ImageLayer when you need editable image layers but do not have the original source file. The tool is built for practical production tasks where a flat image needs to become a set of transparent PNG assets.

Designers

Break posters, covers, and ad creatives into editable image layer pieces for fast layout changes.

E-commerce sellers

Reuse product cutouts with different backgrounds, labels, seasonal campaigns, and marketplace layouts.

Creators

Repurpose social graphics, thumbnails, title treatments, and content assets faster.
