Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP and download a layered PSD: every element on its own named layer, over a filled-in background.

Leave empty to split every element.

Image to PSD is a LayerGrab export that turns one flat JPG, PNG or WebP into a Photoshop file where each element is its own named layer, placed exactly where it was in the original.
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.
1
A JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. Designed images such as posters and banners give the cleanest layers.
2
It finds the text, products and graphics and redraws the background behind them. This takes 60–100 seconds.
3
Toggle layers on and off in the preview to confirm the split before you download anything.
4
One file at the size of the result, with every layer named and positioned, and the filled background at the bottom.
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.
Headlines, badges, buttons, products and decorations each get their own pixel layer with transparency, at the position they had in the image.
Layers are named from what they contain, for example "Headline Text Silence Everything" or "Yellow Price Tag $129", not Layer 1 and Layer 2.

If you only need one element out of the picture, copying that single layer is faster. It is the default on the image to layers page.
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.
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 one layer per element over a rebuilt background.
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 split. Getting real layers means working out which pixels belong to which object and repainting what was behind them, which is what the AI does.
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.
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.
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.
