Design comparison
Layergrab vs Makifyai
Designers, ecommerce sellers and social-media editors who need to pull one element off a flat image - a product, a poster's text, a sticker - as a clean transparent layer without opening desktop software. The Chrome extension (right-click any image on the web) is the fastest version of the job. Not a fit for anyone who needs a named company and a refund policy before paying, or for bulk API automation (no developer API is offered). · E-commerce sellers, small marketing teams and creators who turn existing product shots into listing images, ads, mockups and social graphics without a designer - one browser workspace over GPT Image 2.5/2.6, the Nano Banana 2.x family, Seedream 5.0 and FLUX 3, with 30 free credits on sign-up and one-time packs from $9.90. A sensible fit if you want per-image credit control instead of a fixed subscription and will read the refund rule before paying: 3 calendar days, 50 paid credits or fewer, minus a 2-10% processing fee. Not a fit if you need to know who the data controller is, how long uploaded product photos are kept, or that your outputs are licensed for commercial use before you upload client material - no privacy notice on the site names a controller, address or retention period, training use is never mentioned, and the Terms decline to guarantee commercial usability even though the marketing copy says a commercial licence is included.

MX is Cloudflare Email Routing and accepts every local part, so an SMTP RCPT probe confirms the domain receives mail but not that a human reads a given address; support@makifyai.com is the published contact. Domain registered 2026-04-08 (Cloudflare registrar, NS audrey/sid); the name market is unrelated - makify.com is a DIY/YouTube hobby site and makify.app does not resolve - so no name dispute is recorded. No hands-on test: entering the product requires creating an account, which is outside the scope of an editorial check.
