Qwen Image Layered: Multi-Layer Assets

Introduction

The Qwen Image Layered model addresses one of the most persistent challenges in AI-generated art: the "flat image" limitation. Traditionally, AI treats an image as a single, inseparable "pancake," making it nearly impossible to adjust one specific element without affecting the entire composition.

Qwen Image Layered changes this paradigm by automatically deconstructing images into individual, transparent RGBA layers.

Core Functionality: Beyond the "Pancake"

By breaking an image down into its constituent parts, this model ensures that every person, object, and background element is placed on its own unique transparent slice. This provides creators with unparalleled flexibility for:

• Non-Destructive Editing: Swap out a background or move a character without needing to regenerate the entire scene.

• Compositing: Export individual assets with built-in transparency (alpha channel) for use in external design software like Photoshop or After Effects.

• Animation Prep: Prepare characters and objects for 2D animation or parallax effects by having them already isolated from the background.

Understanding the Settings

The Qwen Image Layered interface provides specific controls to manage how the model dissects your creative vision:

• Layers Count: A slider that allows you to specify how many individual transparent slices the model should attempt to generate (defaulting to 4).

• Go Fast: A toggle designed to optimize generation speed for rapid iteration.

• Description: A text field where you can provide context to the model, helping it identify which specific elements should be isolated as independent layers.

• Image Input: Upload an existing reference to be processed into layers.
