A CopySlides alternative for image to PSD
CopySlides turns lines of text into type layers. LayerPSD also puts every object on its own layer and fills in the background behind it.
Short answer
CopySlides is mainly an image- and PDF-to-PowerPoint tool. Its image-to-PSD feature writes text that passes confidence, orientation and layout checks as native Photoshop text layers and keeps the rest as pixels with a warning; its site does not say whether the background behind objects is filled in. Plans are Starter $9 a month, Plus $19 a month or Lifetime $149 once, with PSD conversions not priced separately. LayerPSD puts every element — text, products, people, logos — on its own transparent layer, repaints the background behind them and can export the text as native type with its effects as layer styles (beta), at $0.018 per output image with no subscription.

Which one to pick
Both are reasonable choices; it depends on how often you split images and what you need in the file.
Pick CopySlides if
- You also need slides: turning images and PDFs into editable PPTX is its main product.
- You prefer to pay once: it has a $149 lifetime plan.
- You only need the lines of text as type, and the rest of the picture can stay as it is.
Pick LayerPSD if
- You need the objects separated too, not only the text: every element lands on its own layer, named by what it contains.
- You need to move things: the background is repainted behind every element, so nothing leaves a hole.
- Your text has effects: stroke, glow, shadow and gradient come across as Photoshop layer styles (beta).
- Your file is large: LayerPSD takes images up to 50 MB; CopySlides states 20 MB and 16 million pixels.
- You only need a few files: pay per output image instead of a monthly plan.
