I launched a SaaS last week, 2 free users. I extracted the core feature and launched another one today. Here's what I learnt.
I launched [Layerize.app](https://layerize.app) today. It will convert any image into depth-aware layers and export as PSD or Zip file in less than 5 seconds. https://reddit.com/link/1sup2f6/video/cp7becf2s6xg1/player **Long story.** Last week, I launched 3D Layers. Shared on LinkedIn, Product Hunt and X. Got 2 users, one is my connection on LinkedIn. It contains lot of features, and I learnt from feedback that people need a lite version. So, I decided to extract the core feature, the layer separation and launched Layerize. Layerize will convert an image to depth aware layers in less than 5 seconds. Users can download them as PSD of Zip file. I will be slowly introducing 3D Layer to Layerize users and is planning to use Layerize as a funnel to 3D Layers. Because of this, I followed a similar approach like remove bg. It is free and no account creation required. Similarly, Layerize is open for guest users, no account creation required. But if users want more control over the number of layers or export as Zip file, they have to purchase a small plan. **Here's what I learnt.** If a specific feature of your SaaS can be made into another SaaS, do it and make it available for free. Then slowly introduce your main product to these free users. The free one will act as a funnel.
Layerize is a useful niche utility for creative workflows, but it currently functions more as a single-feature tool than a venture-scale company. While the founder demonstrates high agility and a lean mindset, the product lacks a significant technical moat and faces heavy competition from integrated AI features in dominant platforms like Adobe Photoshop.
