Turn a screenshot into an editable, layered PSD
A screenshot is a flat capture — every button, label and image baked into one raster. To edit the copy, swap an element, or reuse the layout, you need it back as layers. AI rebuilds a screenshot into a real PSD: separated elements on named layers, and the text as live, editable type.
Layer a screenshotScreenshots are flat by definition
Whatever the source — a webpage, an app, a design someone sent you as a PNG — a screenshot is a single grid of pixels. There is no way to click the headline and retype it, or move the logo, because none of them exist as separate objects anymore. Recreating the layout by hand is the usual, slow answer.
Rebuilt into layers, with editable text
Deep text scan reads every string and writes it back as a real Photoshop type layer, positioned where it sat, in a close-matched font. Objects and images separate onto their own named layers with the background filled behind them. Export a PSD that opens layered in Photoshop, Affinity, Photopea and GIMP — or a PNG stack for tools that prefer it.
A real file, not a locked editor
Some tools turn a screenshot into editable layers but keep them trapped inside their own web editor. This writes a genuine PSD you own and hand off into any professional workflow. Honest note: dense app screenshots with dozens of tiny labels are the hard case — headlines, banners and marketing captures rebuild cleanest.
Frequently asked
Is the text really editable afterwards?
Yes — real type layers, verified to round-trip as live editable text. The font maps to a close standard face you can fine-tune.
Will it perfectly rebuild a complex app UI?
It reconstructs the visible elements and text; very dense interfaces with lots of tiny controls need cleanup. Simpler captures — landing pages, banners, slides — come back cleanest.
Does my screenshot upload anywhere?
The free in-browser tools run on your device. Only the opt-in server features send pixels, and those are deleted within 24 hours.
