What it is
LayerPSD is a browser tool that turns one flat image into a layered Photoshop file: every element on its own transparent layer, the background repainted behind it, and text optionally as editable type. It launched on 2026-09-27 at layerpsd.com and is billed per output image with no subscription.
It is an independent product. Photoshop and PSD are trademarks of Adobe Inc.; LayerPSD is not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe.
Pipeline
How a split is produced
- 1
Your browser
Uploads the image through our gateway (gen.yingtu.ai).
- 2
LaoZhang API
Runs Seedream 5.0 with layer decomposition enabled.
- 3
The model
Returns each element as an RGBA image with a name and a bounding box, plus the repainted background.
- 4
Your browser again
Assembles the PSD, ZIP or PNG locally. LayerPSD keeps no copy of your images or files.
Your image goes from your browser through our gateway (gen.yingtu.ai) to the LaoZhang API, which runs Seedream 5.0 with layer decomposition enabled. The model returns each element as an RGBA image with a name and a bounding box, plus a background with the covered areas repainted. Your browser assembles the PSD, ZIP or PNG locally. Neither LayerPSD nor its gateway stores your images or the finished files; how long the LaoZhang API and the model providers keep request data is set by their own policies (see the privacy policy).
Text edits use Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2 or Seedream 5.0 Flash. The optional editable-text export reads each text layer with a small vision model and writes native Photoshop type layers with effects as layer styles. It is marked beta because type is rebuilt, not recovered.

Where the numbers come from
Prices
Runs are paid in credits: 1 credit per output image on Seedream 5.0 Flash and about 6.7 on Pro. Credits cost $0.071 to $0.099 depending on the pack (pricing).
Timings and layer counts
Timings (56–138 seconds) and layer counts come from the 11 real runs published on the examples page, each with its model, output count, time, cost and date.
Open data
Layer counts vary between runs of the same image; covered areas are repainted by the model, not recovered. We say so on every page rather than promising the original layers back.
Who runs it
LayerPSD is built and operated by a small independent team. There is no sales process; your Google sign-in is the account, and it holds the one free try and any credits you buy. Payments are handled by Waffo, our merchant of record. Questions, bug reports and deletion requests: hi@layerpsd.com.
