Turns a flat image into editable layers, like a screenshot becoming a Figma or Photoshop project. It orchestrates PaddleOCR, Qwen Image Layered, Grounding DINO and SAM 2. Code is under 4 GB but needs an OpenAI API key by default.
Research code that decomposes a flat raster design image into an editable JSON hierarchy of text, shapes, and image layers.

Redesign at a glance
- What is Redesign?
- Redesign is an app. Research code that decomposes a flat raster design image into an editable JSON hierarchy of text, shapes, and image layers.
- Does Redesign work in the EU?
- Available in the EU. Self-hosted code on GitHub with no regional restrictions stated in the provided material; the default controller depends on a third-party OpenAI-compatible API, which can be replaced with a self-hosted vLLM server. Last verified 14 Nov 2026.
- How much does Redesign cost?
- Open source. Code is free to download. Running it needs an OpenAI-compatible VLM endpoint (API usage costs may apply unless self-hosted) and a GPU with about 55 GB of memory for Qwen-Image-Layered. Licence: NOASSERTION (see repository LICENSE).
- Where was Redesign shown?
- In 1 creator video by AI Search. Most recently by AI Search on 2 Aug 2026, at 6:26 in “New Deepseek, Seedance 2.5, Minimax H3, Gemini Robotics, AMD models: AI NEWS”.

ReDesign is the official implementation of an ECCV 2026 paper, "Recovering Editable Design Structures from Images via Agentic Decomposition". It takes a single flat raster image and reconstructs an editable design: text with typography attributes, vector shapes with fill and stroke, images, groups and z-order, exported as a JSON hierarchy.
It treats a design as a tree of layers, starting with the whole image as the root. A vision-language model controller examines each region and picks one tool-backed action: extract text (PaddleOCR, font recognition, Hi-SAM, LaMa inpainting), fork into layers (Qwen-Image-Layered), split by connected-component analysis, detect and segment (GroundingDINO, SAM 2, inpainting), or vectorize (VTracer). The tree is expanded breadth-first, and a modular verifier accepts, prunes, or retries each split until every leaf is an atomic element.
It is a Python research repository, not a hosted app. Setup uses a conda environment and a post-install script, and checkpoints are downloaded by script, with one (Hi-SAM's text-segmentation head) requiring a manual download. The controller needs an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions endpoint (OpenAI API, a proxy, or a self-hosted vLLM server) and an API key. Qwen-Image-Layered needs about 55 GB of GPU memory. The repo also provides the Figma-909 benchmark (909 Figma frames, CC BY 4.0) and evaluation code. The GitHub license is reported as NOASSERTION, so the exact license terms should be checked in the repository.
