About Masonry Magic Layers
Magic Layers turns a flat image into a stack of editable layers. Upload one image and it separates the foreground, the background, any text, and other individual elements into transparent RGBA layers in a single pass. Masonry runs it on Alibaba's Qwen Image Layered model, and the layers land on your canvas, where you can move, resize, hide, or replace each one without touching the rest.
That solves a common problem with generated or supplied images: everything is baked into one picture. With layers, you can move a product to make room for a headline, swap the background for a new season, or lift a logo out of a flat ad. Choose how many layers you want, from 2 to 10, and export PNG or WebP with transparency. An optional caption describing the image can help the model decide where to split it.
Why teams choose Masonry Magic Layers
Choose Magic Layers when an image is nearly right but one part needs to move or change. Instead of regenerating and losing what works, split it into layers and edit only the piece you need. It does not create new content, so use an image model to generate or restage the scene first, then Magic Layers to make it editable.
What Masonry Magic Layers can do
The capabilities that set Masonry Magic Layers apart and earn its place in a brief
One Image In, Separate Layers Out
Upload a single image and get back transparent layers for the foreground, the background, text, and other elements, all from one pass.
Choose 2 to 10 Layers
Ask for as few as 2 layers for a simple subject-and-background split, or up to 10 when a busy scene has many separate elements.
Transparent PNG or WebP
Every layer keeps its transparency, so it drops cleanly onto a new background or into a design tool.
Edit Each Piece on the Canvas
The layers land on your Masonry canvas, where you can move, scale, hide, or replace one element without regenerating the whole image.
Optional Caption to Guide the Split
Add a short description of what is in the image, such as "a perfume bottle on a beach with a headline", to help the model separate the right parts.
Reproducible Results
Set a seed to get the same split again, which helps when several people work on the same image.
