Lift Text from Images
Into Separate Layers

Don't just erase text—lift it into separate layers. Our AI text separator removes overlays from images and uses generative inpainting to rebuild the background. Export as layered PSD or ZIP for easy editing and localization.

The Workflow

Lift Text from Images in 4 Simple Steps

Behind the scenes, AI is performing complex generative inpainting to ensure your background remains flawless while text is extracted.

Step 1

Upload Image or Poster

"Drag and drop your poster, ecommerce photo, or graphic. Works best on large typography, titles, and branded logos."

Step 2

AI Decomposes Layers

"Our AI automatically analyzes the image to separate text and graphics from the primary background layer."

Smart Decomposition
  • •Extracts typography, logos, and graphic overlays.
  • •Preserves transparency and edge fidelity.
  • •Isolates depth layers for professional workflows.
Step 3

Generative Inpainting

"Behind the text, the AI reconstructs the original scene, removing the 'void' and leaving a clean, editable base layer."

Step 4

Download Layered result

"Export a ZIP or PSD containing the cleaned background and the isolated text layer for easy translation or redesign."

Professional Exports
  • •Layered PSD for Photoshop and Figma.
  • •ZIP containing high-res transparent layers.
  • •Cleaned background plate for localization.

Strategic Use Cases

Design Deconstruction in Action

Global Marketplace Localization

The Challenge

A marketing team had ads in English but needed them in 10 other languages. Manually recreating the backgrounds was slow.

The AI-Powered Solution

Used AI Text Layer Separation to 'lift' the text and get clean background plates for every ad asset.

Growth Metrics
  • ✓ 90% reduction in localization design time
  • ✓ Perfectly reconstructed brand backgrounds
  • ✓ Faster global campaign rollouts

Meme Creator's Template Factory

The Challenge

Extracting clean backgrounds from existing memes for new templates often resulted in blurry 'content-aware' artifacts.

The AI-Powered Solution

Applied Generative Inpainting via Image-to-Layers to separate captions and reconstruct the meme's original scene.

Growth Metrics
  • ✓ High-fidelity meme templates
  • ✓ Automated extraction of viral formats
  • ✓ Greater control over typography placement

Inherited Assets Rescue

The Challenge

A designer inherited a high-res marketing poster as a flat JPG but needed to change the headline without the PSD.

The AI-Powered Solution

Separated the headline into a transparent layer and inpainted the background to allow for new text placement.

Growth Metrics
  • ✓ Avoided expensive photo reshoots
  • ✓ Seamless headline replacement
  • ✓ Recovered valuable design components
Common Questions

Text Layering FAQ

Is this better than a simple 'Magic Eraser' tool?
Yes. While simple erasers just smudge or blur the area, we use generative AI to rebuild the background and actually 'lift' the text into its own transparent layer for re-editing.
Can I export the text as a separate layer?
Yes. By exporting as a ZIP or PSD, you get the cleaned background and the separated text/graphics as distinct layers, which is perfect for localization.
Does it work on small watermarks or fine print?
Our model is optimized for high-impact typography like titles, headlines, and logos. Very small text or dense fine print might be treated as texture and inpainted into the background.
Can I translate the text I 'lift' from the image?
Once you've separated the text layer, you can hide it and place your own translated text over the clean, inpainted background layer.
What is 'Inpainting' in the context of text removal?
Inpainting is an AI process that 'imagines' what was behind the text. It reconstructs textures like wood, sky, or complex patterns to provide a seamless, clean image.
How do I get the cleanest background plate?
Ensure the text is clearly legible and has some contrast with the background. The AI uses the surrounding area to learn how to fill the gap left by the text.
Is PSD export supported for text layers?
Yes (where enabled). The PSD will contain the inpainted background and the extracted overlays as separate, editable layers.
Is this tool free to use?
Common workflows are available for testing. High-resolution exports and professional PSD downloads may require credits.
