Image to layers AI

Image to Layers AI Tool for Editable Image Layers

Upload a flat image and Codia Magic Layers separates the design into editable objects, text, backgrounds, products, and decorations. Use it when you need real layer control without rebuilding the image from scratch.

From one flat file to layer groups

Turn image files into a structured editing canvas

Image to layers workflows help designers, marketers, and AI creators recover useful structure from static images. Codia opens the upload in Studio and gives you editable layer groups for targeted changes.

Use image to layers AI for practical edits

Codia is built for image to layers workflows where you need to edit one element, reuse a layout, or turn an AI-generated graphic into a more controllable design asset.

Create layers from an image

Upload a photo, screenshot, poster, product graphic, or generated image and convert visible elements into separate layer groups.

Keep the composition stable

Edit the layer that needs work while preserving the surrounding layout, background, and visual context.

Continue in Codia Studio

After conversion, use Studio to select layers, revise text-like elements, replace objects, and create design variations.

What you can edit

Photoshop-like control powered by AI

Magic Layers is built for marketers, designers, content creators, and AI design workflows that need targeted edits without recreating the full image.

Replace products

Swap a product photo or hero object while preserving the rest of the layout.

Remove objects

Hide or replace background objects without damaging nearby visual elements.

Swap characters

Select a person or character layer and regenerate only that subject.

Edit decorations

Move, hide, or restyle decorative elements inside posters and mockups.

Create variations

Iterate campaign visuals by changing selected layers instead of starting again.

How it works

A direct path from upload to editable canvas

Upload any image

Start with a PNG, JPG, AI-generated image, screenshot, poster, or design mockup.

Separate into layers

Codia creates a Studio session and runs Magic Layers on the image automatically.

Edit selected elements

Select, move, replace, hide, or regenerate individual layers while the rest stays intact.

When should you convert an image to layers?

Use this workflow when a static image contains useful composition, but one object, product, text block, or background needs to change. It is especially useful for AI images, campaign visuals, product graphics, screenshots, and design references.

What can become editable?

Magic Layers looks for meaningful visual elements such as foreground objects, text regions, products, decorations, and background areas. The output is designed for targeted editing, not only simple background removal.

Magic Layers FAQ

Can I convert an image to layers online?

Yes. Upload an image on this page and Codia opens a Studio session where Magic Layers separates the image into editable layer groups.

What image formats work with image to layers AI?

You can upload common image formats such as PNG, JPG, and WebP, including screenshots, posters, product graphics, mockups, and AI-generated images.

Is this only background removal?

No. Background removal isolates one subject. Image to layers AI separates multiple elements so you can edit individual objects, text regions, products, backgrounds, and decorations.

Where can I edit the converted layers?

The result opens in Codia Studio, where you can select, move, hide, replace, or regenerate layers while keeping the full composition available.
