- LayerGrab vs Adobe Photoshop: Photoshop is a full-featured editor but lacks automatic AI layer extraction from flat images.
- LayerGrab vs Photopea: Photopea runs in the browser like LayerGrab but does not provide AI-driven image-to-layer conversion.
- LayerGrab vs Cloudinary: Cloudinary offers image transformation APIs, not AI layer splitting for design workflows.
- LayerGrab vs Figma: Figma is a design tool with plugins; LayerGrab’s plugin adds AI layer extraction inside Figma.
LayerGrab FAQ
How do I turn an image into layers?+
Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP on the LayerGrab page; the AI returns each element as a transparent layer with a filled background, which you can copy, download or export.
Is LayerGrab free?+
You can use the sample splits and get one free split per account; after that you need credits, with subscription plans starting at $12/month.
Can I edit the text after splitting?+
The text comes back as an image layer, not editable type, so you replace it by adding new text over the rebuilt background.
Do unused credits roll over?+
No, subscription credits reset each billing month; credit packs expire after one year.
What happens if my credits don’t cover a split?+
The split is locked; you see layer names but receive no files until you add enough credits to unlock it.
