What it is

ImageToLayers converts flat JPG, PNG, and WebP images into separate visual layers that can be selected and edited. You can adjust composition, modify parts with AI, and export work as PSD or ZIP files; the contact page also describes individual transparent PNG exports. The service can estimate areas hidden behind overlapping objects, but these are AI-generated approximations rather than recovered original pixels. ImageToLayers presents workflows for designers, animators, ecommerce teams, and marketers, with background replacement, text-prompt generation, and product-scene templates. Its MCP server supports compatible clients including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Windsurf. Studio includes API access, while direct HTTP REST API access is available by request. A free Starter Trial provides 20 one-time credits for selected workflows. Creator is $10 a month, billed $120 billed yearly; Studio is $30 a month, billed $360 billed yearly.
