Introducing 'Qwen-Image-Layered,' an AI model that can layer images



On December 19, 2025,

Alibaba , a major Chinese technology company, introduced a new AI model in its Qwen series, Qwen-Image-Layered , which can decompose an image into multiple RGBA layers.

'Qwen-Image-Layered' is an open source image decomposition model that can decompose an input image into multiple RGBA layers as shown below.



After breaking down, edits are applied only to the target layer, which is physically separated from other content, ensuring consistency between edits.



For example, you can change the color of the last layer and keep all the other layers the same.



You can also replace the girl on the second layer with a boy.



Additionally, you can change just the text placed above the girl.



It is also possible to delete only specific layers.



Editing a specific layer does not affect other layers, making it easier to resize specific objects.



Qwen-Image-Layered also allows you to control how many layers it decomposes into, allowing you to decompose an image into three layers or eight layers.



You can also decompose into a specified number of layers first, and then further decompose specific layers.



Qwen-Image-Layered is available for trial on Hugging Face. However, when I tried it with a free account, I got the message 'You've exceeded your ZeroGPU daily quota' and was prompted to create a PRO account . A Hugging Face PRO account costs $9 (approximately 1,400 yen) per month.
