LayerGrab reconstructs the editable structure inside a flat PNG, JPG or WebP. Extract one object such as a product, person, headline or price tag, or split the whole image into up to 17 named transparent layers. Each layer is completed rather than a rough fragment, and the background is filled in after elements are removed. Built for illustrations, posters, banners, infographics, product photos and AI-generated images. Export PNG, ZIP or layered PSD, or continue in Photoshop, Figma and Sketch.

Could you build this?
No Decomposing a flat 2D image into 17 distinct completed semantic layers with inpainting (reconstructing occluded regions) requires state-of-the-art computer vision models, layer diffusion, and substantial GPU infrastructure.
What it would actually take: This requires specialized generative diffusion models tailored for layered image decomposition (e.g., Layered Diffusion / Q-Chunking / Segment Anything combined with proprietary outpainting/inpainting models like LaMa or SD inpainting). The backend requires an inference cluster (Triton / Ray Serve on high-VRAM GPUs) to perform semantic segmentation, instance extraction, occluded background inpainting, and vector/raster layer assembly into multi-layer formats (PSD/SVG). Deep ML engineering expertise is necessary to train or fine-tune models that can hallucinate what was behind foreground objects cleanly without artifacts.
