Extract Transparent PNG Layers from an Image
Upload a flat JPG, PNG, or WebP image and let AI separate its major subjects, objects, and background regions into reusable transparent PNG assets. Preview each layer, download individual PNG files, or export the complete result as a structured ZIP package for design and production workflows.
Generated assets are created from the visible pixels in your source image. Complex overlaps, reflections, soft shadows, transparent materials, and hidden areas may require additional review.

Transparent PNG Output
Detailed Layers returns each detected element as its own layer on a transparent background.

More Than Background Removal
Background removers create a transparent cutout. ImageToLayers also reconstructs the area hidden behind the subject, giving you complete assets for editing and composition.
Most images are processed in 60–120 seconds.
One image, multiple reusable assets
One Image, Multiple Reusable Assets
Instead of keeping every visible element locked inside one flattened image, create a set of transparent PNG layers that can be downloaded, moved, and reused independently.

What Transparent Layer Extraction Can—and Cannot—Do
AI generates a new set of transparent assets from a flattened image. It does not recover the original Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, or source-document layers. Content hidden behind foreground elements may be estimated from surrounding pixels. Fine hair, glass, liquids, reflections, soft shadows, motion blur, and heavily overlapping objects may require manual cleanup. Visible text may remain part of a raster layer and is not converted into editable typography.
Only need two layers?
Just the subject and the background? Try Background Splitter
When a photo only has one subject in front of a background, Background Splitter gives you a transparent foreground and a reconstructed background in one step, without setting up a full multi-object layer split.
Original photo
The source image with a single subject and background.
Transparent foreground
The subject isolated as a clean transparent PNG.
Reconstructed background
The scene behind the subject, rebuilt and reusable on its own.
Need more than two layers, multiple objects, props, or text? Use the workspace above instead.
Transparent Layer Assets FAQ
What is a transparent layer asset?
A transparent layer asset is a PNG image containing one separated visual element on a transparent background, ready to be downloaded and reused independently.
Can I extract multiple transparent PNGs from one image?
Yes. The tool attempts to separate major visible subjects, objects, and background regions into individual transparent PNG layers.
Does the ZIP include a manifest?
Yes. The ZIP package includes a manifest.json listing each layer's file name, detected name, and pixel dimensions, along with the job ID and export time.
Will stacking the layers exactly reproduce the original image?
Not guaranteed. Layer order reflects what the AI provider returned rather than a verified compositing order, so results should be reviewed before production use.
Are the assets taken from the original pixels?
Visible portions of separated elements are based on the source image. Hidden or obstructed areas may be estimated by AI and should be reviewed before production use.
Will text become editable?
No. Visible text may be included as a raster image asset, but it is not converted into native editable typography or restored fonts.
Can I download layers individually instead of the full ZIP?
Yes. Each separated layer can be downloaded on its own as a transparent PNG, or you can download the complete ZIP package.
Which images work best?
High-resolution images with recognizable objects, clear edges, good contrast, and limited overlap generally produce the most reusable transparent layers.
