Every layer is a transparent PNG, and each comes back with the coordinates you need to put it back together. Pass exactly one image in `image_list`. `prompt` is optional — leave it out for an automatic split. `max_layers` caps how many layers come back (default 16). Splitting takes about two to three minutes, longer with more layers. #### Reading the result Each item in the result carries: - `z_index` — 0 is the base image; layers ascend from 1 - `bounding_box.absolute` — `[left, top, right, bottom]` in the base image's pixels - `bounding_box.normalized` — the same box on a 0-1000 scale, for any canvas size - `name` and `description` — what the layer contains - `background` — `opaque` for the base image, `transparent` for layers - `text_recognition` — only with `text_recognition: true`, on clean text layers: the text, each line's box, and font styles Sort by `z_index`, then place each layer using its bounding box to restore or recompose the artwork. #### Pricing Charged per request: one input image plus `max_layers + 1` output images (the base image and every layer), whatever number of layers actually comes back. | What | Tokens | USD | |---|---|---| | Input image | 0.42 | $0.0084 | | Each output image, 1K or 1.5K | 1.04 | $0.0208 | | Each output image, 2K or auto | 1.82 | $0.0364 | With the default `max_layers` of 16: 18.10 tokens ($0.3620) at 1K or 1.5K, and 31.36 tokens ($0.6272) at 2K or auto. Returns an `img_uuid`; poll GET /api/v1/jobs/detail (or use `custom_callback_url`) to get the generated image. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/image-api/openapi-seedream-5-5-layers.json POST /api/v1/images/generations openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: GoEnhance API - Seedream 5.5 Layers description: Seedream 5.5 Layers version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://api.goenhance.ai security: [] paths: /api/v1/images/generations: post: tags: - ImageAPI summary: Seedream 5.5 Layers description: >- Split one image into a base image plus up to 99 independently editable layers.

Must be `seedream-5-5-layers`. prompt: type: string minLength: 1 maxLength: 4000 description: >- Optional. Leave it out and the model finds and splits the main elements on its own. Provide it to name the elements to split, in plain language or with `` coordinates. image_size: type: string enum: - 1K - 1.5K - 2K - auto default: auto description: >- Output tier. `auto` follows the input image's size and is billed at the 2K rate. Only tier names are accepted here — pixel values such as 2048x2048 are rejected. image_list: type: array items: type: object properties: url: type: string format: uri required: - url description: >- The single image to split. Exactly one image is required: png or jpeg, up to 30MB, and at least 512x512 pixels in total. minItems: 1 maxItems: 1 output_format: type: string enum: - png - jpeg default: jpeg description: >- Output file format. This only affects the base image — every layer is always a transparent png. max_layers: type: integer minimum: 1 maximum: 99 default: 16 description: >- Maximum number of layers, not counting the base image. The request is billed as `max_layers + 1` output images, so a lower value costs less. Elements beyond the limit may be merged or dropped. text_recognition: type: boolean default: false description: >- Set to true to get the recognized text, line boxes and font styles for clean text layers. Stylized or handwritten text is not recognized. Free. custom_callback_url: type: string format: uri description: >- Optional. A publicly accessible HTTPS URL. When the task status changes (processing / success / failed), GoEnhance sends a POST request to this URL. The request body is identical to the response of GET /api/v1/jobs/detail. If your server does not respond with HTTP 200, the notification is retried up to 3 times, with a 3-second timeout per attempt. example: https://your-server.com/goenhance/callback required: - model - image_list example: model: seedream-5-5-layers prompt: Split out the title text and the product image_size: auto max_layers: 16 text_recognition: true image_list: - url: https://your-cdn.com/poster.jpg responses: '200': description: '' content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: code: type: integer msg: type: string data: type: object properties: img_uuid: type: string cost: type: number description: >- Tokens deducted for this request.
