LlamaGen AI Layer Splitter alternative
LlamaGen AI Layer Splitter is the layer separation tool on LlamaGen, an AI comic platform: it splits characters, mascots and game art into parts. LayerGrab is an alternative that does the same job on any flat image, from anime characters to posters, names every layer it returns, splits only the parts you describe, and fills the background behind them.
It works on the images LlamaGen’s splitter is built for, characters and game art, and on the ones its page advises against, such as crowded scenes and dense photo backgrounds, as well as posters and banners. If you are new to the idea, start with image to layers.
List the parts and each comes back as its own named layer: front hair, twin tails, face, ribbon, top, skirt, bag, socks and shoes from one standing illustration.
Where one part covers another, the hidden area is completed as far as the model can infer it, and the background is filled, so a part can move without leaving a hole. Export a layered PSD to start Live2D or Spine prep.
Split the face layer again and it separates into eyes, eyebrows, ears, nose and mouth, with the eyes, brows and ears named left and right, ready for blinking and lip-sync.

Background (filled)A full scene splits into its characters and props: the girl reading, the sleeping cat, the lamp, the plant. Move them for a parallax shot, reuse them in another panel, or repaint one without touching the rest.
Designed images split cleanly too: headline, badge, product and each decoration on their own layers, at the original size, ready for Photoshop, Figma or Canva.
Everything about LlamaGen comes from its own home, feature and pricing pages, checked on 2026-10-06; where they say nothing, the table says so. We have not run LlamaGen ourselves, so this compares what each tool states, not output quality.

You already make comics in LlamaGen, or you split cartoon or game characters and want a free preview sheet of the parts before paying for files.
You want named layers, only the parts you list, the background filled behind them, posters and photos as well as characters, or the layers placed straight into Photoshop, Figma or Sketch.
If a character has to be cut into a full rig of 20 or more parts in one go, a tool built for rigging prep will save you passes; LayerGrab returns up to 16 layers per split. Text comes back as an image layer, not editable type. For a free split on your own GPU, start with the open Qwen-Image-Layered model.
On LlamaGen’s page you upload one image and run Quick Mode, which returns a sheet of the separated foreground, background, text and props to review. According to its FAQ, getting the parts as separate transparent PNGs, a ZIP or a PSD is a paid second pass.
Its Quick Mode is free. Its pages do not say how many credits the paid export pass costs; plans start at $14 a month for 15,000 credits.
LayerGrab lets you open every sample split on this page without an account, with the layer list and PNG, ZIP and PSD exports. New accounts in supported regions get 30 free credits, enough for a split of up to 3 layers. If you have a large GPU, the open Qwen-Image-Layered model is free to run yourself.
Yes. The standing character above was split with the instruction "front hair with bangs, twin-tail hair, face, star hair clip, sailor uniform top, red ribbon, pleated skirt, crossbody bag, knee socks, legs, loafer shoes", and the face was then split again into eyes, brows, ears, nose and mouth. Skin the model cannot assign to a part, such as the neck and hands, comes back as one extra layer.
Its FAQ says its splitter is similar to Qwen Image Layered but does not name the model it runs. LayerGrab runs its own hosted model, and runs Qwen-Image-Layered separately on its Qwen page.
