How does live2dlayer separate anime artwork into Live2D layers?

live2dlayer uses advanced AI segmentation (LayerDiffusion / SAM) with fine-grained TBLR split parameters. It analyzes 2D anime character images and extracts up to 23 distinct Z-order layers (such as left/right eyes, front/back hair, face, torso, and limbs) while automatically inpainting occluded background areas.

Can I export the separated layers to Photoshop PSD or Live2D Cubism?

Yes! You can instantly export the complete PSD file or Zip package. The exported PSD files preserve transparent PNG layer order, clean names, and Z-index metadata, making them directly importable into Live2D Cubism, Spine, or Photoshop for rigging.

Is live2dlayer free to use?

Yes, every newly registered user gets 1 free AI decomposition credit upon signup with full PSD export, and official 3D demo showcases can be evaluated completely free with zero wait time. For additional runs, choose between the $1.99 Starter Pack (4 runs), the non-expiring $9.90 20 Credits Pass ($0.49/run), or upgrade to the $19/month Pro Plan for 60 monthly high-priority A100 GPU decomposition credits and priority queue processing.
