Seedream 5.0 Flash Layerize
Seedream 5.0 Flash Layerize is the speed tier of ByteDance's Seedream 5.0 layer decomposition. It splits a finished image into a base composite plus up to 16 independently editable layers, choosing and labeling the layer boundaries automatically (or following an optional prompt), and returns stacked cutouts ready for compositing, animation, or PSD export at a lower cost than the Pro tier.
