Product element extraction
Select the bottle, its label, or the shadow. Download a layer as PNG.
Sample layers you can click, hide, and drag. Your own image is split in the editor.
Product image
Edit a product image without a reshoot
Edit a product image by splitting the product, its label, its shadow, and the background into layers so you can recolor, relabel, or extract the item without redrawing the whole shot.
Separate the product, its label, and the studio background. Recolor the product, replace the promo label, or extract the subject as a PNG.

Drop an image to split it into layers
Separate the subject, text, and background, then move or resize any layer.
How it works
- 1. Upload the product photo. Packshot on a simple or busy background.
- 2. Lift the product. Recolor it or download the cutout PNG.
- 3. Keep the scene. The background stays its own layer.
Free preview: 1 split per day at 1K, no sign-up. A full 2K split is 5 credits.
How it works
1
Upload the packshot or lifestyle photo
A clear product on a simple set separates better than a crowded tabletop.
2
Split product, label, and background
The item, the printed label, the shadow, and the set become layers when the edges are distinct.
3
Choose the edit
Recolor the product, edit the label text, hide a prop, or download the product PNG.
4
Check the label
Small type on a curved bottle often stays on the bottle layer. Read it before you deliver.
5
Export
PSD, PNG of the product, or a saved project. PhotoCraft opens the PSD in the browser.
Recolor the product
Recolor keeps the shape and changes color or material. 3 credits.
Edit the label
If the promo text is its own layer, replace or hide that layer.
Extract the subject
Download the product layer and leave the background behind.
Change the scene without changing the product
The failure mode in product work is a regeneration that moves the cap, rewrites the logo, or shifts the color of the liquid. Splitting avoids that when the product is its own layer and you edit something else. Recolor the background or a prop. Leave the product layer locked in your head by simply not selecting it.
If you do want a new colorway, recolor the product layer for 3 credits. The prompt asks the model to keep the shape and change color or material. It can still slip on transparent bottles and metallic edges. Compare before you replace the master photo.
Labels, claims, and extracted PNGs
A promo badge or a wrong claim is a text edit when it separated. Use Edit text to type the corrected line, or Remove text to drop the badge and keep the filled background. The original label font is not restored.
To lift the product for a new scene, download that layer as a transparent PNG. That is the same extraction as separate an object into its own layer. The background plate remains if the lifestyle scene is still useful. Shadow may sit on the product or on its own layer; look before you assume the contact shadow will travel with the item.
One split for the whole product shot
You are not billed per label, per shadow, and per background. A full-resolution 2K split costs 5 credits and includes the PSD and the PNG ZIP. The price does not grow with the number of layers. Arranging a project and downloading a finished export do not add another charge. A failed or timed-out split is refunded. Guests can run one 1K preview a day and cannot export that preview.
Save the project when a catalog will reuse the same bottle in several colors. Open PhotoCraft if a mask or blend mode needs a manual pass the automatic stack did not finish.
A product pass that does not redraw the SKU
Split the shot and solo the product. If the silhouette matches the real item, including the cap and the base, you can edit around it. Download the PNG when the next scene is a different set you will composite elsewhere. Leave it in the stack when you only need to hide a prop. The background plate should show a filled set, not a hole in the shape of the bottle.
A colorway is recolor on the product layer, 3 credits, followed by a check of any printed logo. If the logo crawled, stop and restore the saved project. A wrong claim on the label is edit text only when the letters are a separate layer. Otherwise you are recoloring or replacing the whole bottle, which is how packaging copy gets corrupted. Remove text drops a promo burst that separated cleanly.
Shadow is the piece people forget. If the contact shadow is on the product layer, it will travel with the PNG and may look wrong on a new floor. If it is on the background, the PNG will look like it floats. PhotoCraft can clip a shadow under the product after export. This splitter will not build a studio light rig.
The 5-credit split covers the whole photograph. You do not pay again for the label layer and the cap layer. Replace at 4 credits is reserved for a prop that must become a different object. It is a poor way to “fix” a logo, because it redraws.
Catalog notes that belong with the file
Record the SKU, whether the label was edited, and whether the shadow is in the PNG. A recolor that looks right on a screen can still shift a small logo, so the note should say you compared the logo to the source. If you did not, do that before the file goes to a marketplace. The product image edit is not a license to change claims. Any new sentence on the label has to be the sentence legal already approved.
When the shot is done, save the project under the SKU. The next colorway starts from that stack, not from a flattened export you would have to split again. The first split was 5 credits. Another colorway’s recolor is 3 credits if the product layer is still separate. That is the whole price story. It does not depend on how many layers the bottle produced. A lifestyle prop you only wanted gone is a hide, not a replace, when that prop has its own layer.
If the catalog needs the product on white, hide the background layer and export the PNG. Add a white plate in PhotoCraft if the fill at the edges is not white. Do not recolor the background and hope it becomes a clipped path. The layer is pixels.
When not to use it
- Do not use it to invent a legally accurate label. Read every claim after an edit. The model does not know your packaging law.
- Transparent, reflective, and finely patterned products separate poorly. Expect cleanup.
- A recolor can shift a logo printed on the product if that logo is on the same layer.
- There is no prompt that says “only the bottle” before the split. You select the layer afterward.
- Do not expect a studio-grade shadow reconstruction. The fill is approximate.
The label is editable when the split isolates it. Edit text types a new price into that layer. It does not recover the original font file.
Frequently asked questions
Can I recolor the product and keep the label?
Only if they are different layers. If the label is part of the product layer, a recolor can change it too.
Can I extract the product as a PNG?
Yes. Download that layer. The background stays available as its own plate.
How much is a product edit?
The 2K split is 5 credits. Recolor is 3. Replace is 4. Label typing with Edit text is not a separate per-word charge.
Will you match the dieline or a vector package?
No. The output is raster layers, not a packaging die-line.
Can I keep the exact label and only change the background?
Yes, if the background is its own layer. Hide or replace that layer and do not select the product.
Is Image Layered free?
Yes — you can split one image per day at 1K without an account to preview the layers. Full-resolution 2K layers and PSD/PNG ZIP export use 5 credits per split.
What file do I get?
A layered Photoshop PSD where every element is its own named, transparent layer at its original position, or a ZIP of transparent PNGs plus a composite.
What images work best?
Posters, product shots, social graphics, characters and AI-generated images with clear subjects. Very busy photos can merge small details into one layer.
What happens if a split fails?
Credits are refunded automatically when a split fails or times out.
Are my images private?
Uploads are used only to create your layers and are not shown publicly or used for training.
Can I use the layers commercially?
Yes, you can use exported layers from your own images in commercial work.
