Turn a flat image back into layers
A flat JPG or PNG is a merged raster — the original layers are gone. Plakat uses AI layer decomposition to reconstruct them: text, background, foreground, and overlays, each as its own transparent layer you can edit independently.
What you get back
Every decompose returns transparent PNG layers. Toggle any layer on or off. Move it, scale it, delete it. The text layer is a separate file from the background. The foreground photo is isolated from the backdrop. Everything is independently editable, the way the original designer had it before they flattened the file.
How it works
One click. The image is analyzed by fal.ai's qwen-image-layered model, which identifies semantic boundaries and outputs separate RGBA layers. No manual masking, no pen tool, no GPU required — it runs in your browser in about 5 seconds.
When this works best
Layer extraction performs best on images with clear visual separation: distinct text, high contrast, defined element boundaries. Typical poster and flyer layouts are ideal. Abstract gradients and heavily overlapping compositions are harder — the AI is honest about its limits.
Common questions
Does this work on JPGs?
Yes. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 10MB. The file format doesn't matter — what matters is whether the image has distinct visual elements.
Can I export each layer as a transparent PNG?
Yes. Every layer downloads as a transparent PNG, or you can open the full editor to keep them composited on a canvas.
How is this different from Photoshop's 'Select Subject'?
Photoshop's subject selection picks one foreground. Plakat decomposes the entire image into all its constituent layers in a single pass — background, text, multiple foreground elements — without manual masking.
