Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

Qwen Image Layered LoRA
Qwen Image Layered LoRA is the Qwen Image route for layer-aware image work. It uses Qwen’s combined visual-semantic and appearance modeling to interpret subjects, relationships, typography, spatial structure, and surface detail as a connected composition, giving this exact route a clearer production purpose than a generic image request.
Use Qwen Image Layered LoRA when the project specifically requires separable visual components and compositing flexibility. State the creative goal, then define composition, viewpoint, wording, materials, lighting, and finish; for edits, explicitly separate the intended transformation from identity, layout, or regions that must remain stable.
Highlights
- Qwen Image Layer-aware image understanding. Separates foreground, background, subjects, text, and graphic elements conceptually.
- Qwen Image Editable visual decomposition. Creates or organizes imagery into components suitable for downstream compositing.
- Qwen Image Occlusion-aware separation. Preserves which elements sit in front of or behind one another.
- Qwen Image Design-ready layer generation. Supports posters and visual layouts that benefit from independently editable parts. The configured adaptation adds task-specific learned behavior.
Pricing
| Configuration | Billing unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base generation | Per request | $0.06 |
When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The project needs this exact named workflow | The intended task belongs to another media route |
| All required reference or control media is available | Necessary assets or rights are unavailable |
| The brief can state transformation and preservation goals | Output must be deterministic at pixel or frame level |
| Supported duration, resolution, and format fit delivery | Final placement requires unsupported specifications |
| An asynchronous generated result fits production | A live frame-synchronous response is mandatory |
Prompt Guide
Identify the primary subject and every source or condition, state the intended transformation or action, then describe composition, camera or viewpoint, lighting, materials, pacing, atmosphere, and exact preservation requirements. Refer to multiple inputs in their schema order.
