Qwen Layered

Qwen Layered is made by Alibaba. Outputs separate foreground and background layers rather than a flattened image, which means the composition stays editable in any normal design tool.

Where it struggles: The layer separation is not always clean on complex scenes with overlapping subjects.

Reach for it when the job is artwork you need to edit afterwards. For anything else, the model directory has a comparison of the alternatives — picking by job rather than by version number is most of what separates a good result from an expensive one.
