How to use Image Breakdown
Break images into layers in minutes

1 Upload
Drag and drop a JPG or PNG, then choose your target output like transparent layers or a layered file. The AI prepares the image for segmentation.

2 Break down
Run the layer breakdown to extract background, subject, and objects. Adjust layer boundaries and masks for cleaner edges and better separation.

3 Export
Download separated layers as PNGs or a layered format for your editor. Reuse layers for retouching, composites, and quick variations without re-cutting.
AI layer separation that stays editable
Image Breakdown turns photos and graphics into organized layers using AI-powered segmentation. Isolate subjects, remove backgrounds, and extract individual elements with clean masks for faster edits. Export layered assets for compositing, design iteration, and production-ready workflows—without manual cutting and tedious selection tools.

Smart object segmentation
Detect and separate key elements automatically, including subjects, foreground objects, and backgrounds. Get cleaner masks and more usable layers for editing, collage, and layout work.
Refine masks and edges
Fine-tune layer boundaries for hair, soft shadows, and complex shapes. Improve cutout accuracy with quick adjustments so exports look natural across different backgrounds.


Export layers for workflows
Download separated layers as transparent PNGs or layered deliverables for common editing pipelines. Speed up retouching, product imagery updates, and content variations with reusable assets.
