Generate a Poster, Export a Layered PSD (Beta)

The layer extraction pipeline runs three AI models in sequence — subject segmentation, OCR text detection, and text-region inpainting. Each step has its own failure modes: rembg may not perfectly separate complex subjects, OCR can miss highly stylised fonts (especially decorative Chinese typography), and the inpaint model occasionally leaves visible texture seams where text used to be. We mark this Beta until we can guarantee consistent quality across all poster styles. Your generated PNG is always preserved as a fallback — at worst the PSD layers are just less useful than expected. If a flat PNG poster is all you need, our Poster Generator produces one directly without the layer pipeline.

Yes — it's a standard binary PSD that Photoshop, Photopea, Affinity Photo, and any other PSD-aware tool can open. It's assembled in your browser via the open-source ag-psd library, not a fake .psd-renamed PNG.

The TXT group ships with placeholder Type Layers. Most PSD readers (including modern Photoshop) recognize them as text and let you edit content/font/size. A handful of older Photoshop versions may rasterise them on first open — when that happens, retype on a new layer; the structure still holds.

A single flattened image doesn't carry that information — the model only outputs a final composite. Auto-segmenting on the client is technically possible but slow and unreliable. Instead the PSD ships with empty CUT_* slots so you (or a Photoshop action) can drop a subject mask in without restructuring the file. We're evaluating an optional server-side cutout step (rembg / SAM via Replicate) for a future paid tier.

So you always have an undo path. If you over-edit the visible artwork, toggle the REF group on and you've got the pristine source pixels to clone from. It also makes the PSD self-documenting — anyone opening the file can see exactly what the AI produced before any edits.

If you generate with the Transparent background option enabled, the alpha channel survives into the ART layer. Otherwise the ART layer is a solid composite — you can mask it in Photoshop, or regenerate with transparency on.

Roughly 2-3x the size of the source PNG, because the original pixels are stored twice (once hidden as REF, once visible as ART) plus a small amount of overhead for the layer structure. A 1024×1024 PNG that's 1.5 MB typically yields a 4-6 MB PSD.

Same paywall as the PNG download. Trial users see the watermark unlock dialog when they click PSD; paid users get the file directly. No separate gate.

Two reasons. First, the assembly is genuinely fast in the browser — under a second for a 1024×1024 image. Second, it keeps cost flat: there's no per-export server fee, so we can offer PSD export as a free upgrade for any paid plan instead of metering it.
