A flat image can look complete, but it is often difficult to edit.
If you want to move a product, remove a shadow, replace a background, edit text, or reuse part of a composition, you usually have to recreate the image structure manually in Photoshop.
That was the problem we wanted to solve with [Image2Layer](https://image2layer.com).
Image2Layer uses AI to analyze a flat JPG, PNG, or WebP image and separate it into meaningful editable layers.
Depending on the image, the result may include:
Each layer keeps its transparency, so it can be moved, hidden, edited, or recomposed independently.
After processing an image, you can export:
The goal is not to recreate the original source file perfectly. Instead, Image2Layer provides a useful editable starting point from an image that would otherwise be difficult to work with.
Some possible workflows include:
You can try it here:
AI separation is not equally easy for every image. Fine details, transparent objects, reflections, complex typography, and heavily overlapping elements can still be challenging.
We are continuing to improve:
If you work with image editing, design, or creative automation, I would be interested to hear what kind of images you would want to split into layers.
