Layer export workflow

AI Image Layer Splitter

Upload an image or describe an asset, then plan foreground, background, object, icon, and sprite layers with copyable prompts and export checklists.

Image layer splitting workflow

Upload an image or describe an asset, then create a layer plan, editable prompt, export checklist, and workflow notes. This MVP does not perform real AI segmentation yet.

foreground symbol

Primary editable layer with the clearest silhouette.

rounded tile background

Separate supporting layer for depth, reuse, or animation states.

cast shadow

Separate supporting layer for depth, reuse, or animation states.

highlight glaze

Support layer for masks, shadows, highlights, or background cleanup.

Copyable layer prompt

Split or recreate a polished productivity app icon with a central spark symbol as 4 editable layers for PNG icon layers. Goal: Separate the central symbol from the tile, shadow, and highlight layers. Required layers: foreground symbol, rounded tile background, cast shadow, highlight glaze. Background output: Transparent. Edge cleanup: Soft alpha. Keep object scale, transparent pixels, shadows, and highlights easy to inspect. Do not add text, watermarks, brand logos, trademarked characters, or copyrighted likenesses. No uploaded image is available; create an original layered asset from the description. Return a clear layer list, mask notes, export settings, and a flattened preview.

Layer output plan

1. foreground symbol

2. rounded tile background

3. cast shadow

4. highlight glaze

Export checklist

Keep the original file and export a separate flattened preview.

Name layers clearly: foreground, object, shadow, background, mask, or state.

Use transparent PNG for raster layers and SVG only for simple vector shapes.

Check edges on light, dark, and checkerboard backgrounds.

For sprite sheets, keep anchors and layer sizes consistent across frames.

Import image workflow

  1. 1Import an image you own or have permission to transform.
  2. 2Identify the visible objects, depth planes, shadows, and background shapes.
  3. 3Use the prompt to ask an AI editor or design tool for separated editable layers.
  4. 4Manually inspect masks, hairline edges, shadows, and transparent pixels.
  5. 5Export PNG layers, SVG shapes, icon assets, or sprite-ready parts based on the target.

MVP limits and rights

This free MVP creates prompts, layer plans, and export guidance. It does not automatically cut real pixels into separate AI layers yet. Uploaded images remain in your browser preview. Commercial use depends on your rights to the source image, trademarks, characters, and any generated result.

Quick answer

AI Image Layer Splitter quick answer

An AI image layer splitter workflow helps turn an imported image or asset prompt into a practical foreground, background, object, mask, shadow, and icon layer plan. Use it before AI editing, vector tracing, sprite work, or transparent PNG export so the final asset is easier to inspect and reuse.

At a glance

Best for
Foreground and background separation, object cutouts, icon layers, transparent PNGs, SVG traces, and sprite preparation
Main outputs
Layer prompt, local image preview, editable layer plan, export checklist, workflow notes
Key constraint
This MVP plans layers and prompts; it does not automatically segment uploaded images into real files yet.

Input and output example

Input: imported app icon, product object, UI button, or game character asset.

Output: layer splitting prompt, foreground/background plan, transparent PNG checklist, and export notes.

Use the result in AI editing tools, vector editors, Aseprite, TexturePacker, Unity, Godot, or an icon handoff workflow.

Recommended workflow

  1. 1Upload or describe the source image.
  2. 2Choose the target workflow and expected layer count.
  3. 3Build the layer splitting prompt and layer output plan.
  4. 4Use the plan in an AI editor, vector tool, or game asset pipeline, then inspect masks and export files.

FAQ

Answers to common questions

FAQ

AI Image Layer Splitter questions

Can this AI image layer splitter automatically split image layers?

The current MVP creates a layer plan, copyable AI editing prompt, export checklist, and local image preview. It does not yet perform real AI segmentation or automatically cut pixels into separate files.

What layer types can I plan?

You can plan foreground, background, object, icon, shadow, highlight, mask, UI state, and sprite-ready layers for PNG, SVG, icon, and game asset workflows.

Can I use uploaded art commercially after splitting layers?

Only if you own or have licensed the source image and the output does not copy protected characters, trademarks, logos, or another artist's distinctive work.
