Object Layering
Extract Objects into Separate Layers.
Automatically separate design objects into editable layers.

Real-World Use Cases
Screen printing preparation
Screen printing requires each color on a separate film. Object layering automatically separates design elements into individual PSD layers ready for screen making.
Repositioning motifs
A buyer likes a pattern but wants flowers moved apart. Extract objects into layers and reposition in Photoshop instead of redrawing.
How It Works
Upload your design
PNG, JPEG, TIFF or PSD, up to 50 MB. Works best when motifs are distinct from the background; heavily overlapping elements may share a layer.
Generate
Click Generate. The AI detects the objects in the design by itself; there is nothing to draw or select.
Download the layered PSD
Each detected object sits on its own layer. Move, recolour, hide or delete elements in Photoshop without redrawing.
Key Features
Automatic Detection
Objects are found and cut out by the AI. No bounding boxes, masks or manual selection.
Editable PSD
Standard layered PSD that opens in Photoshop, Affinity or any editor that reads PSD layers.
Keeps the Background
The background is preserved on its own layer so you can rebuild the composition after moving motifs.
Pairs with Color Separation
Layer by object here, then run Color Separation on individual motifs when you need per-colour plates.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take?
Typically 40-60 seconds depending on image size and complexity.
Can I choose which objects to extract?
Not yet. Detection is fully automatic and returns every object the model finds. Delete the layers you do not need in Photoshop.
What happens with overlapping motifs?
Overlapping or touching elements may be grouped into one layer. For dense patterns, run Color Separation instead, which splits by colour rather than by object.
