AI image layering
Move the orb, hide the caption, or select the crystal.
Sample layers you can click, hide, and drag. Your own image is split in the editor.
Midjourney character layers
Split a Midjourney character into layers and keep the face
Midjourney character to layers means separating an AI-generated character image into the figure, outfit, props, and background, so you can edit one part without rerolling the prompt and losing the face you liked.
For creators who finally got the right face from Midjourney, Niji, or another image model, and need to change the outfit, the background, or one prop without starting over.

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 a flat image. A poster, product shot, or AI picture.
- 2. Split into layers. Subject, text, and background come apart.
- 3. Edit and export. Move, recolor, or download PSD and PNG.
Free preview: 1 split per day at 1K, no sign-up. A full 2K split is 5 credits.
How it works
1
Upscale, then upload
Use the upscaled Midjourney or Niji image. Avoid grid images with four variations.
2
Split and find the face
Solo layers until you know which one contains the face. Do not edit that one unless you mean to.
3
Edit around the face
Recolor (3 credits) or Replace (4 credits) the outfit or prop layer, or hide the background.
4
Export
Download the PSD or PNG ZIP, or compose a new scene in PhotoCraft.
Keep the face you liked
Edit a layer that does not contain the face, and the face stays pixel-identical.
Change one part
Recolor an outfit, replace a prop, or swap the background plate instead of rerolling.
Consistent character sets
Reuse the separated figure on new backgrounds for a consistent series of images.
Why not just vary the region?
Region editing inside image generators repaints the area you select, and the result often shifts lighting, line weight, or the face. Separating first gives you hard boundaries: a layer you do not touch cannot change. That is the main reason AI artists split before editing.
For general AI image edits, including fixing hands and text, see edit an AI-generated image and AI image to layers.
Building a consistent character series
Split your best render once and keep the figure layer. Place it on new backgrounds, adjust its size and position, and change the outfit color for variants. That gives a set of images where the face is truly identical, which prompt-based consistency does not guarantee.
For dress-up style variations, see paper doll layers.
When not to use it
- If the face and outfit merge into one layer, editing the outfit will touch the face.
- It does not change the pose or the camera angle.
- Follow the license terms of the image model you used for commercial work.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with Niji, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, or Flux images?
Yes. Any JPG, PNG, or WebP works, regardless of which model made it.
Will the face stay exactly the same?
Yes, if you only edit layers that do not include the face. Check the solo view first.
Can I change the pose?
No. Pose changes need a new generation. Layers let you move and resize parts, not re-pose them.
What does it cost?
One free 1K preview split per day without an account, watermarked and not exportable. A full 2K split is 5 credits and includes both the PSD and the PNG ZIP, whatever the layer count. Credits come back automatically when a split fails. The 100-credit Starter pack is a one-time payment, not a subscription.
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.
