ImageToLayers
What it is
ImageToLayers turns a flat image into separate visual layers that can be selected, rearranged and edited with AI. It accepts JPG, PNG and WebP files and offers PSD and ZIP exports, with individual transparent PNG exports also described on its contact page. The service can estimate areas hidden behind overlapping objects, but those regions are generated approximations rather than recovered original pixels. The maker presents workflows for designers, animators, ecommerce teams and marketers. An MCP server supports compatible clients including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Windsurf, while the Studio plan includes API access and direct HTTP REST access is available by request. A free Starter Trial provides 20 one-time credits for listed workflows, with seven-day retention. Creator is $10 a month, billed $120 billed yearly; Studio is $30 a month, billed $360 billed yearly. Retention ranges from seven days on Free to one year on Studio. TLS protects data in transit, and uploads are not used to train the maker’s own models.
