At Pixazo, we focus on transforming cutting-edge AI research into production-ready creative APIs that developers and creators can actually use.

Today, we’re excited to announce that Qwen Image Layered API is now live on Pixazo API and Playground, introducing true layer-based image editing through a simple, scalable API.

With this launch, images are no longer flat outputs. They become fully editable RGBA layers, similar to working with Photoshop files—accessible programmatically or instantly via the Playground.


What Is Qwen Image Layered?

Most AI image tools generate a single flattened image. Editing even one element—text, a logo, or a subject—often requires regenerating the entire image.

Qwen Image Layered changes that.

It decomposes a single image into multiple semantically meaningful RGBA layers, each with its own transparency (alpha channel). These layers can be edited, rearranged, replaced, or recomposed independently—without affecting the rest of the image.

In short: Photoshop-style layers, delivered via API.

What You Can Do with Qwen Image Layered on Pixazo?

True Layer-Based Editing

  • Automatically separates background, foreground, text, and objects
  • Each layer is returned as an RGBA image with an alpha mask
  • Modify or replace individual layers without breaking the image

Semantic Layer Decomposition

  • Layers are context-aware, not simple cutouts
  • Text, people, products, and backgrounds are intelligently disentangled
  • Visual consistency is preserved during recomposition

Built for Developers

  • Clean and predictable API responses
  • JSON manifests with layer metadata
  • Fully integrated into Pixazo’s unified image API ecosystem

Frequently Asked Questions about Qwen Image Layered API

1. What is Qwen Image Layered API?

Qwen Image Layered API is an advanced image editing API that converts a single flat image into multiple semantically meaningful RGBA layers. Each layer can be edited independently, similar to working with Photoshop layers, without regenerating the entire image.

2. How is Qwen Image Layered different from traditional image segmentation tools?

Unlike basic segmentation tools that only cut objects out, Qwen Image Layered intelligently decomposes images into context-aware layers such as background, foreground, text, and objects. It preserves visual consistency and transparency, making the output inherently editable and production-ready.

3. What formats does the Qwen Image Layered API return?

The API returns multiple RGBA image layers along with alpha masks, structured layer metadata in JSON format, and a final recomposed image. Outputs can be delivered as PNG files, ZIP archives, or JSON manifests depending on your workflow needs.

4. Can I use Qwen Image Layered without writing code?

Yes. Qwen Image Layered is available on the Pixazo Playground, where you can upload images, preview individual layers, inspect alpha masks, and view the recomposed result—all without writing any code.

5. What are the common use cases for Qwen Image Layered API?

Common use cases include design and marketing asset editing, e-commerce product image workflows, creative automation pipelines, and building Canva- or Photoshop-like design tools using APIs.
