photo → object layers
Extract every object from a photo onto its own layer
Sometimes you do not want the background gone — you want each object as its own piece you can move, hide, recolor or reuse. Auto-detect finds the objects, lifts each to a named layer, and fills the scene behind every removal, so the result is a real layered file, not a flat cutout.
Extract objects to layersBeyond a single cutout
A background remover gives you one flat subject on transparency. But a photo often has several things worth separating — a person, a product, a sign, a plant. Extracting each onto its own layer turns one image into a kit of movable parts, with the scene rebuilt behind them so nothing is left as a hole.
Auto-detect, then fill behind
Auto-detect objects sweeps the image with two detectors and lifts each find to its own named layer — Car, Person, Plant, and so on. The fill engine rebuilds the driveway, hedge, wall or floor behind every removal (the fast local model roughs it in, an HD pass can polish it seamless). The layered PSD keeps every object, so hiding one is a visibility toggle, not a deletion.
Your file, your workflow
Export a real PSD with named layers and groups for Photoshop, Affinity, Photopea and GIMP, or a PNG stack for game engines and cutout-animation tools. Honest note: objects touching or overlapping heavily need a little hand-cleanup; well-separated objects lift cleanly.
Frequently asked
Does it delete the objects it lifts?
No — each becomes its own layer and the background is filled behind it, so every object is preserved and independently movable in the PSD.
How many objects can it find?
Auto-detect handles a dozen or so per pass; you can also grab any it misses with AI grab and lift them too.
What if two objects overlap?
Overlapping objects share pixels, so the split needs a little manual touch-up with the brush — cleanly separated objects lift automatically.
