What is LayerBack?

LayerBack is an AI-powered charting toolImage ConversionA tool that intelligently recognizes and reconstructs diagram-type images—such as screenshots of flowcharts, system architecture diagrams, and photos of whiteboards—into fully editable Visio (VSDX), PowerPoint (PPTX), draw.io, and SVG files, rather than simply embedding the original image into a file container. It supports online fine-tuning directly in the browser and provides a REST API and MCP Server for seamless integration with tools like Claude and Cursor.AI AgentThe workflow balances conversion efficiency with user privacy; uploaded files are automatically deleted 72 hours after upload.
