LayerGrab
A web app and design-tool plugin that splits a flat image into separate, named transparent layers and exports them as PNG, ZIP or a layered PSD.
About LayerGrab
Editing one element of a flattened poster, banner or illustration usually means masking each object by hand and rebuilding the background behind it.
Who it’s for
- Designers reworking flat posters, banners and AI-generated images
- Marketers who need to edit text or products in an existing ad image
When to consider it
Consider LayerGrab when you have a flattened image and want each element back as its own editable layer, with the background filled in, inside the browser or Photoshop, Figma or Sketch.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- Paid by credits after one free split per account: Basic costs $12 per month for 1,200 credits (about 120 layers at 10 credits each) and Premium $36 per month for 3,600 credits (8 credits per layer); subscription credits do not roll over.
- Images are sent to an AI model run by a processing partner, and split results are deleted after 30 days.
