LayerBack
Rebuilds a screenshot of a flowchart or diagram into editable Visio, PowerPoint or draw.io shapes.
Upload a screenshot, PNG or PDF of a diagram and LayerBack rebuilds it with native shapes, connected arrows and real editable text — not just an image wrapped inside a Visio file like most converters. Previews and conversions are free; downloading costs 10 credits, and there's a REST API, completion webhooks, and an MCP server (`npx -y layerback-mcp`) so agents can use the same pipeline. Paid plans run from $10/month (100 conversions, API access, failed jobs auto-refunded) up to $40/month (1,000 conversions, higher API rate limits).
What holds up
- +Rebuilds real connectors and native shapes instead of wrapping your image inside a Visio/PPTX container.
- +Failed conversions are auto-refunded on paid plans — you don't pay credits for a broken result.
- +MCP server (`npx -y layerback-mcp`) and a REST API with webhooks let agents use the same pipeline.
- +Preview and conversion are free — only downloading the result spends credits.
Mind the limits
- −Downloading any result costs 10 credits even on the free plan — previews only go so far before you pay.
- −Free plan caps at 2 conversions running at once — a batch job needs a paid tier.
- −20 MB upload limit per file — large or very dense diagrams may not fit.
