Separate a flat image into named, editable RGBA layers with AI. Move, recolor, replace, or export each element independently.
Automatically decompose any image into multiple editable RGBA layers. No Photoshop skills required - AI does the work for you.
Faster and cheaper. You pick the layer count — best for a first split.
Named layers with positions. Pick the count first — optionally describe what to isolate.
One photo in. Named, editable layers out — Quick splits in one click, while Precision lets you pick the layer count and optionally describe exactly what to extract.
Set the count to 4, and the image is decomposed into named layers plus an inpainted background.
Original
Settings
Number of Layers: 4
Includes the base image. 4 = 1 base + 3 layers.
Final layers
Actual: 4 = 1 base + 3 layers
Select a layer to locate it in the original image
Layer 1
Base
Pick the count (3), then describe what to extract (e.g. “Output a layer for every person.”) — the prompt never changes the count. Each person becomes its own layer with the background rebuilt.

Discover how ImageLayered transforms your image editing workflow with AI-powered automation
AI automatically separates your image into multiple editable layers with transparency. No manual selection or masking needed.
Intelligently fills in hidden areas behind objects, creating complete layers ready for editing. Perfect for object removal and replacement.
Supports 3-8+ layers based on image complexity. Decompose layers recursively for infinite refinement and precision.
Resize, recolor, move, or replace objects independently without affecting other layers. High-fidelity editing made simple.
