Split into Layers
Split into Layers: every object, on its own layer.
Split into Layers finds the objects in a photo and cuts each onto a layer of its own, so you can move, hide or rearrange them. Make Whole redraws a partly hidden object in full.

How to use it
Step by step.
From the app’s own help, with steps for Apple Pencil and a keyboard there too.
- Tap a part to leave it out or bring it back, then tap Add — each part lands on a layer of its own.
- Select a photo and choose More › Split into Layers…, or choose Split into Layers in AI Tools or in Image Tools. The photo on the board becomes the preview.
- Objects finds each object — free, with a daily limit. Subject cuts out the main subject on this device, free and offline.
- Tap an object on the photo, or the circle by its name in the list, to leave it out or bring it back. Tap a name to see which object it is.
- Missing something? With Objects, tap Draw Around It, then drag a box around it in the photo to cut it out as another part.
- Under Background, Keep leaves the photo under the parts, and Hide shows only the parts.

Does Split into Layers work offline?
It can find the main subject of a photo on your device, offline. Other AI tools need a connection.
What does Make Whole do?
It redraws an object that was partly hidden in the photo, so the layer holds the whole object.
Is it free?
Finding the objects in a photo is free, within a daily limit. The other AI tools in Spaces run on AI credits; see pricing.
Where do the layers go?
Onto the Space, as ordinary layers you can name, hide, lock, fade, group and move.
