LayerGrab

LayerGrab is an AI tool that converts flat images into stacks of editable, named layers. It addresses the common challenge of editing visuals when the original source files are unavailable, such as with flat marketing graphics, client mockups, stock illustrations, and AI-generated imagery. Instead of requiring users to manually trace or redraw elements, LayerGrab uses artificial intelligence to isolate individual objects, badges, and headline texts onto transparent layers while inpainting the background behind them so no gaps are left behind.

LayerGrab works through a straightforward web and plugin-based workflow:

1. Upload an image: Users drop, paste, or select a PNG, JPG, or WebP file up to 20 MB.
2. Layer separation: The AI processes the image in approximately 60 to 100 seconds, identifying elements and generating transparent layers while reconstructing the hidden background.
3. Layer selection: Each generated layer is labeled with a descriptive English name indicating its contents, such as a specific product, character, or headline text. Users can hide or preview individual layers.
4. Export: Elements can be extracted individually as transparent PNGs, copied to the clipboard, or downloaded altogether as a ZIP archive or a layered PSD file.

• Editing AI-generated images: Repositioning, resizing, or removing specific elements from flat AI visuals without needing to regenerate the full prompt.
• Updating text on promotional posters: Isolating headline text onto its own layer and using the filled-in background to set new promotional copy for localized campaigns.
• Asset reuse for graphic design: Pulling clean, transparent products, badges, or illustrations from flat graphics to reuse in new layouts across tools like Photoshop, Figma, Canva, or Sketch.
• Rebuilding flat client assets: Turning flattened ad banners or presentation slides back into multi-layered PSD files for further modifications.
