How to convert an image to a layered PSD
1
Upload the flat image
A JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. Designed images such as posters and banners give the cleanest layers.
2
Let the AI do the work
It finds the text, products and graphics and redraws the background behind them. This takes 60–100 seconds.
3
Check the layers
Toggle layers on and off in the preview to confirm the split before you download anything.
4
Download the PSD
One file at the size of the result, with every layer named and positioned, and the filled background at the bottom.
Image to PSD
From one flat JPG to a layered Photoshop file
Image to PSD is a LayerGrab tool that converts a JPG, PNG or WebP into a layered PSD with AI: each element becomes its own named layer, placed exactly where it was, over a filled background. A plain format converter returns a PSD with one layer; this one returns every element separately.
Saving a JPG as PSD gives you one flat layer. LayerGrab works out which pixels belong to which element and repaints what was behind them.
A filled background
The bottom layer is the original background with every separated element removed and the hidden area painted in, so moving an element never leaves a hole.
One layer per element
Headlines, badges, buttons, products and decorations each get their own pixel layer with transparency, at the position they had in the image.
Readable layer names
Layers are named from what they contain, for example "Headline Text Silence Everything" or "Yellow Price Tag $129", not Layer 1 and Layer 2.

When a PSD is the right output
Choose the PSD when you will keep editing the whole design in Photoshop: changing copy for another market, moving elements for a new size, or swapping the product.
If you only need one element out of the picture, copying that single layer is faster. It is the default on the home page.
What it does not do
It does not recover the designer's original PSD. The layers are a new separation made by AI, so fonts, adjustment layers, masks and effects from the original file are not there.
Shadows cast on the background are not kept, and text layers are pixels rather than editable type.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a JPG to a PSD with layers?
Upload the JPG to LayerGrab, wait about a minute while it separates the elements, then choose Download PSD. Saving a JPG as PSD in an editor only gives you one flat layer; LayerGrab gives you a layer for each element over a rebuilt background.
Why does "Save as PSD" give me only one layer?
A JPG or PNG stores a single grid of pixels with no record of the objects in it, so a format conversion has nothing to separate. Getting real layers means working out which pixels belong to which object and repainting what was behind them, which is what the AI does.
Is the text in the PSD editable?
No. Text comes out as a pixel layer with a transparent background, not as a type layer. Because the background under it is filled in, you can hide it and set new text in the same place.
What programs open the PSD?
It is a standard layered PSD file, so it opens in Photoshop and in other editors that read PSD. You can also download the layers as separate PNG files or a ZIP if you prefer.
What resolution is the PSD?
The PSD is the size of the split result, which is usually larger than the image you uploaded: the model returns the background at about twice the upload size.
