Unflatten an Image — Split a Flat Photo Into Editable Layers
Got a flattened image and wish you could move just one object? Magic Layers separates the objects in a photo onto individual layers you can move, resize and restyle — right in your browser.

AI object separation
On-device AI detects each distinct object and cuts it onto its own transparent layer, plus a filled background layer beneath.
Private by design
The whole split runs in your browser — your image is never uploaded to a server.

Upgrade to Pro ($9/mo) to reconstruct the area behind removed objects with generative AI.
Frequently asked questions
What does it mean to unflatten an image?
A flat image such as a JPG or PNG is a single layer, so you can't move one object without the rest. Unflattening separates it back into individual layers, making each object independently editable.
How do I split an image into layers?
Open ZupaSnap, add your image to the canvas, select it, and click Magic Layers under the image AI tools. It detects the objects and places each on its own layer, with a filled background underneath.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The Magic Layers split runs entirely on your device in the browser — the image never leaves your computer.
Does it work on any photo?
It works best on photos with a clear subject or a few separated objects over a background. Objects that touch or overlap come out together as one layer.
Is ZupaSnap really free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 10 designs, 10 AI credits every month, and 5 video exports a month — no credit card required. Upgrade to Pro ($9/mo) only when you need unlimited designs, more AI, and higher-resolution or watermark-free exports.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ZupaSnap runs entirely in your browser — design, edit video, and export without downloading an app.
