What does Seedream 5.5 Layer Decomposition do?

It splits one image into a base image plus transparent PNG layers for compositing and editing.

Per image up to `max_images`: $0.02 per image at 1K and 1.5K, $0.035 at 2K. The default 30 images costs $0.60 at 1K. You are charged for max_images even if fewer layers are returned.

No. Without a prompt the model detects key visual elements automatically.

What format are the layers?

Every layer is a PNG with an alpha channel; `output_format` only applies to the base image.

Does Seedream 5.5 support a spicy mode?

The Seedream 5.5 API applies standard content-safety moderation, so explicit adult output is not guaranteed and prompts that trigger the filter are rejected and refunded. If you need a less restricted tier for mature creative work, see the Spicy models on Muapi, such as [Seedance 2.5 Spicy](/seedance-2.5-spicy) for video.

How do I get the result?

Requests are asynchronous: submit a job, then poll the returned `request_id` or pass a `webhook` URL to be notified on completion.

Is there a sandbox for testing?

Yes. Sandbox API keys return mock results instantly with no credits deducted.

About Seedream 5.5 Layer Decomposition

Seedream 5.5 Layer Decomposition separates a single flat image into a base image and multiple transparent PNG layers, ready for compositing, asset extraction and layered design workflows. Optionally describe the layers you want with a prompt, or leave it empty so the model detects key visual elements automatically. Choose 1K, 1.5K or 2K output and cap the number of returned images with `max_images`. Generate source images with [Seedream 5.5](/playground/seedream-5.5) or revise them with [Seedream 5.5 Edit](/playground/seedream-5.5-edit).
