Description
ScreenToLayers transforms the way you capture screenshots by creating fully editable Photoshop documents with each screen element preserved as a separate layer. Whether you’re designing, developing, or documenting, ScreenToLayers makes it easy to capture everything on your screen in one click—and allows for endless adjustments and refinements later in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or any image editor that can open PSD files.
• Effortless Layered Screenshots: ScreenToLayers automatically captures each component on your screen as a distinct layer within a PSD file. Icons, windows, backgrounds, each element is isolated for complete control over your final image.
• Precision without Pressure: No need to perfect your screenshot in one take. With every element available as a separate layer, you can simply adjust positioning, size, colors, and more in Photoshop afterward. It’s the ultimate tool for fine-tuning your screenshots to perfection.
• Ideal for Designers and Developers: ScreenToLayers is invaluable for those who need exact, editable screenshots for creating mockups, refining UI designs, or even troubleshooting interface issues. Developers and designers alike will appreciate the flexibility and depth this app offers for post-screenshot adjustments.
ScreenToLayers is an open-source project, meaning it’s designed with the community’s input and available for improvements and contributions. Become part of a vibrant community by contributing your ideas or code.

Ratings and Reviews
So Amazing that I am actually writing a review!
I am so accustomed to automatically clicking close on dialogs prompting for me to submit a review or rating, annoyed by them more often than not. This is the first time I not only did not receive that nag-screen begging for a rating/review, but I am so impressed with how well this application works that I re-launched the appstore just so that I could write a review to sing its praises.
Like others, I am shocked that it's free, but also delivers on what it promises. Every element on the screen is created as a separate layer, every window, the menu bar, every icon on the menu bar. I never even really thought about needing to download an app just for screen captures, because how many features can someone add to a simple screenshot beyond what the OS natively offers. I was wrong. Customize the keyboard shortcut, allow a delayed screen shot, all features I love but never thought of asking for.
Thank you!!
Game Changer!
Uhhh…this is app incredible. Not only are all the windows captured separately, but also all the elements, from the dock to the menu bar to the menu bar items and even the icons on the desktop.
I would pay decent money for this. Hard to believe that it's free with a no-data-collected privacy label too! Thank you Jeremy.
Wait... What?
This app is truly unreal. I am shocked that it's free - a super cool utility that picks every element on the screen and creates a seperate layer for it. In PS you can hide, change order, whatever... so crazy.
