What Layerize does
Layerize is a canvas node. It takes a finished image and returns several images: a base image, placed under every layer, and one transparent PNG layer per element it finds. Two engines: Seedream 5 Pro (ByteDance), which takes any image, and Ad Delayer, built for flat ads (background, product, logo, text). With Ad Delayer, the base image is the input image itself.

The four steps
Step 1
Add the node and connect the image
On the canvas, add the Layerize node and connect an image to its input: an import or the output of a model in the same graph. With Seedream, the image must hold between 512×512 and 6000×6000 pixels in total, have an aspect ratio between 1/16 and 16 and weigh 30 MB at most.
Step 2
Pick the engine and the resolution
Seedream, the default engine, splits any image; resolution goes from 1K (the default) to 2K, and 1.5K or 2K cost nearly twice as much per layer. Ad Delayer is meant for flat ads: it works on a copy of 800 px per side at most and also outputs the text structure as JSON. A plain photo does not break down.
Step 3
Name the elements if needed, then run
With Seedream, connect a Text node to the second input (labelled "Éléments à séparer", elements to separate) to say what to isolate; without text, the model separates the main elements on its own. The cost shown before the run is a minimum: the node shows the range, and the bill depends on how many layers come out. With Ad Delayer, the price is fixed.
Step 4
Recompose and connect the layers
After the run, every layer gets its own output, named after its content. The Edit button opens the editor: move, resize, rotate, change opacity, hide, and choose which layers keep an output (the "x/N en sortie" counter). Saving updates the Composite output without running the model again.
The settings at a glance
| Setting | Values | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Moteur (engine) | Seedream or Ad Delayer | Ad Delayer for a flat ad |
| Résolution | 1K, 1.5K, 2K | Seedream only; 1K by default, cheapest per layer |
| Optimisation du prompt | Standard or Rapide (fast) | Seedream only; Standard for quality, Rapide for speed |
| Éléments à séparer | Optional text | Seedream only, through a Text node |
| Textes (text) | Contours vectoriels or Texte vivant | Ad Delayer only: vector outlines or live, editable text |
Use cases
Retouch one element
Connect that layer's output to an editing model: it works on that element alone, already cut out.
Isolate a product
Its layer is a transparent PNG, ready to place on a new background.
Vary a composition
With Seedream, move, enlarge or hide elements in the editor, without generating the image again.
Rework an ad
Ad Delayer separates background, product and logo, and describes the text as JSON.
Frequently asked questions
- How many layers does Layerize produce?
- With Seedream, 2 to 17 images: the base image and up to 16 layers. The number depends on the image and cannot be set in advance; naming the elements you want helps keep it down, with no guarantee.
- How is Layerize billed?
- Seedream is billed per layer produced. To launch, your balance must cover 17 layers, which are reserved; the difference with the layers actually produced is refunded as soon as the call returns. Ad Delayer is a flat fee per request, whatever the number of elements.
- Can I export the layers as a PSD?
- No, there is no PSD export and no ZIP archive. Every layer is a transparent PNG with its own output on the node: you connect it to the rest of the workflow.
- Do edits in the editor cost credits?
- No. Saving writes the new composition without running the model again. A new successful run, on the other hand, starts over: it clears the saved composition and the output selection.
- Is Layerize available in Generate?
- No, it is a canvas node. A workflow that uses it can, however, be published as an app.
