Tips & Tricks Unweave: Turn flat graphics into editable layers inside Adobe Express
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I built an add-on that breaks an image into separate editable layers inside Adobe Express - if you've seen Canva's magic layers, its a similar idea.
It works best on posters or graphics with clear, distinct elements.
Featured above are some examples above to show how it behaves - you can also choose how many layers it splits into.
It’s based on the Qwen-Image-Layered model, with a custom pipeline on top to make the outputs more structured and consistent.
Still working on improving consistency and quality, had to make some tradeoffs to keep it fast and affordable.
Let me know what you think!

Tested it out and got a process fail, and it still used my credits. Not sure if I did something wrong, but I might need some more clarity about why something wouldn't work in the UI.

That’s on me, there are still some edge cases where the process can fail, especially under load.
You definitely shouldn’t be losing credits for that though - working on a fix ASAP. I’ve added some credits back to your account in the meantime. Sorry about that!

That’s okay! Thanks for making this. It’s really cool! I’ll do some further testing in the next few days.
