# Layerize

> On-device AI tool for splitting images and videos into depth-based 3D layers and exporting layered Adobe Photoshop (PSD) files or PNG ZIP bundles directly in the browser. Zero image or video data is ever uploaded to a server for depth estimation.

Layerize (https://layerize.app) provides browser-based, hardware-accelerated computer vision workflows for graphic designers, motion artists, VFX creators, and ecommerce studios. Powered by Transformers.js, ONNX Runtime Web (with WebGPU/WASM), Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM), and Depth Anything V2.

## Core Features & Tools

- [Image Depth Layerizer](https://layerize.app/#/): Splits any photo (JPG, PNG, WebP) into foreground, midground, and background layers using AI monocular depth estimation.
- [Video Depth Layerizer](https://layerize.app/#/video-layerize): Processes video frames with client-side WebCodecs and Depth Anything V2 to generate multi-layer 2.5D parallax sequences and layered WebM exports.
- [SAM Magic Extract](https://layerize.app/#/): Click-to-cutout tool using Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM) running locally via WebGPU/WASM.
- [AI Background Removal](https://layerize.app/#/remove-background): High-accuracy subject segmentation and background removal with transparent PNG download.
- [AI Background Generator](https://layerize.app/#/generate-background): Generate tailored photorealistic backgrounds behind segmented subjects.
- [AI Image Enhancer](https://layerize.app/#/image-enhancer): Resolution enhancement and detail sharpening for raster images.
- [Layer Editor](https://layerize.app/#/): Interactive in-browser canvas to reorder, merge, hide, or recolor individual depth layers before exporting.

## Output Formats

- **Layered Photoshop Document (.PSD)**: Native multi-layer PSD files created client-side via `ag-psd`, fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Procreate, and Photopea.
- **Transparent PNG ZIP Archive (.ZIP)**: Download every isolated layer as a standalone PNG with transparency for drag-and-drop video compositing (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, Canva).

## Privacy & Security Proposition

- **100% On-Device AI Processing**: Model inference executes inside the user's browser using WebAssembly and WebGPU.
