    Image Layer Separator

    free • Free
    Updated Oct 2026

    Image Layer Separator answers a question designers ask constantly: can you give me the layers for this? Upload a flat JPG, PNG or WebP and it automatically separates the visual elements into editable transparent layers, with layered PSD export that opens in Photoshop or imports into Figma. For product images, client artwork that arrived flattened, or mockups where the source files are long gone, that turns an afternoon of manual masking into a one-click first draft. It is free with no signup, which makes it easy to throw your worst-case image at it before trusting it. The caveats are inherent to the problem: separation is inferred, so overlapping elements and complex textures will not always split the way a human would, and anything hidden behind a foreground object is reconstructed rather than recovered. Treat the output as a strong starting point that still needs a retouching pass for professional use. As a free utility for the 'flat file, no source' situation, it earns the bookmark.
