Add runapi-ai/seedream with the skills installer. 2. Load SKILL.md in this workspace. 3. Use its docs, schemas, pricing notes, and setup steps with model ID seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition. 4. Confirm the install path when done. ``` ## Use seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition with a model skill 1. **Install** — Install the model skill for the Seedream line. The skill loads docs, typed schemas, pricing notes, and setup steps into your coding workspace so your agent has the right context. 2. **Configure** — Set the model field to the full model ID shown on this page and configure your RunAPI API key as an environment variable. The same key works across all models and providers. 3. **Call** — Use the skill instructions while adding prompt, input, and callback handling to your application. RunAPI routes the request to the provider, manages the async lifecycle, and returns structured JSON. 4. **Receive** — Read the task response by polling the task ID, streaming when supported, or handling the webhook callback at your configured URL. Generated outputs are stored and retrievable by task ID. ## What's different about seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition - **VS SEEDREAM-4.5-EDIT: Split one image into an editable base image and transparent PNG layers** — Same realism with targeted region editing via mask/brush - **VS SEEDREAM-4.5-TEXT-TO-IMAGE: Split one image into an editable base image and transparent PNG layers** — Photorealistic output; stable anatomy - **VS SEEDREAM-5-LITE-EDIT: Split one image into an editable base image and transparent PNG layers** — Stronger reference adherence + bilingual typography vs 4.5; faster ## Best for - **Product photography** — Auto-generate lifestyle product photos for e-commerce catalogs that lack studio photography. - **Game & concept art** — Rapidly concept environments and characters before committing to final art. - **Editorial illustration** — Generate unique cover art and illustrations for blog posts and articles at scale. ## Frequently asked questions about seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition ### Is the model ID stable across versions? Yes. RunAPI keeps the model ID stable and handles compatible version refreshes without changing your request shape. You do not need to update your code when the provider releases a new compatible version. ### What's the rate limit on this variant? Per-key rate limits scale with your usage tier. The pricing page shows current limits. If you need higher throughput, contact support to discuss tier upgrades. ### Can I switch variants later? Yes. Variant is a parameter in the request. Switch by changing the model ID — no code changes, no re-authentication, no separate billing setup. All variants share the same API key and request shape. ### Does it stream? Where streaming is available, RunAPI streams end-to-end. LLM models support token-level streaming. Media models use async task polling or webhook callbacks for result delivery. ### Where do I report quality issues? Open an issue on the public GitHub repo or email support at support@runapi.ai. Include the task ID and model ID so the team can investigate the specific generation. ### Do I need a separate provider account? No. Your RunAPI API key is enough to access this variant and every other model in the catalog. You do not need accounts with the underlying provider. ### Other variants of Seedream - [seedream-4.5-edit](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/4.5-edit.md) — `seedream-4.5-edit` · $0.100 - [seedream-4.5-text-to-image](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/4.5-text-to-image.md) — `seedream-4.5-text-to-image` · $0.100 - [seedream-5-lite-edit](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/5-lite-edit.md) — `seedream-5-lite-edit` · $0.080 - [seedream-5-lite-text-to-image](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/5-lite-text-to-image.md) — `seedream-5-lite-text-to-image` · $0.080 - [seedream-5-pro-edit](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/5-pro-edit.md) — `seedream-5-pro-edit` · $0.170 - [seedream-5-pro-text-to-image](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/5-pro-text-to-image.md) — `seedream-5-pro-text-to-image` · $0.110 - [seedream-v4-edit](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/v4-edit.md) — `seedream-v4-edit` · $0.080 - [seedream-v4-text-to-image](https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/v4-text-to-image.md) — `seedream-v4-text-to-image` · $0.080 ### Alternatives from other models - [Flux](https://runapi.ai/models/flux.md) — Flux image generation with Dev, Pro, and 2 Klein, plus single-image editing with Dev and Pro. - [Flux 2](https://runapi.ai/models/flux-2.md) — Flux 2 API access for text-to-image and remix-image with strong prompt adherence from Black Forest Labs. - [Flux Kontext](https://runapi.ai/models/flux-kontext.md) — Flux Kontext API access for in-context image editing, local edits, style transfer, and character consistency. ## Start building with Seedream. - [Create free account](https://runapi.ai/login) - [Read the quickstart →](https://runapi.ai/docs/api/seedream/text-to-image) --- ## More from RunAPI - [Home](https://runapi.ai/.md) - [Models](https://runapi.ai/models.md) - [AI Video API Comparison](https://runapi.ai/ai-video-api-comparison.md) - [OpenClaw Integration](https://runapi.ai/openclaw.md) - [Best API for OpenClaw](https://runapi.ai/best-api-for-openclaw.md) - [OpenClaw Image Generation](https://runapi.ai/openclaw-image-generation.md) - [Hermes Agent Integration](https://runapi.ai/hermes-agent.md) - [Pricing](https://runapi.ai/pricing.md) - [Claude API Pricing](https://runapi.ai/claude-api-pricing.md) - [ChatGPT API Pricing](https://runapi.ai/chatgpt-api-pricing.md) - [OpenAI API Pricing](https://runapi.ai/openai-api-pricing.md) - [Gemini API Pricing](https://runapi.ai/gemini-api-pricing.md) - [Claude Code Pricing](https://runapi.ai/claude-code-pricing.md) - [Claude Code API](https://runapi.ai/claude-code-api.md) - [Claude Code vs Cursor](https://runapi.ai/claude-code-vs-cursor.md) - [Claude Max vs API](https://runapi.ai/claude-max-vs-api.md) - [Requesty Alternative](https://runapi.ai/requesty-alternative.md) - [Docs](https://runapi.ai/docs/guides) - [SDK](https://runapi.ai/sdk.md) - [Skills](https://runapi.ai/skills.md) - [MCP Server](https://runapi.ai/mcp.md) - [CLI](https://runapi.ai/cli.md) - [Feedback](https://runapi.makethisbetter.dev) - [Contact](mailto:support@runapi.ai) - [Terms](https://runapi.ai/terms.md) - [Privacy](https://runapi.ai/privacy.md) - [Site index for agents](https://runapi.ai/llms.txt) Contact: contact@runapi.ai ## Structured data ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "inLanguage": "en", "@type": "WebSite", "name": "RunAPI", "url": "https://runapi.ai/", "potentialAction": { "@type": "SearchAction", "target": { "@type": "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate": "https://runapi.ai/models?q={search_term_string}" }, "query-input": "required name=search_term_string" } }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "inLanguage": "en", "@type": "Organization", "name": "RunAPI", "url": "https://runapi.ai/", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://runapi.ai/icon.svg" }, "sameAs": [ "https://github.com/runapi-ai" ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "inLanguage": "en", "@type": "SoftwareApplication", "name": "Seedream seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition", "applicationCategory": "DeveloperApplication", "offers": { "@type": "Offer", "price": "0.1400", "priceCurrency": "USD", "priceSpecification": { "@type": "UnitPriceSpecification", "unitText": "call" } } }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "inLanguage": "en", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://runapi.ai/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Models", "item": "https://runapi.ai/models" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Seedream", "item": "https://runapi.ai/models/seedream" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition", "item": "https://runapi.ai/models/seedream/5-pro-layer-decomposition" } ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "inLanguage": "en", "@type": "HowTo", "name": "Use seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition with a model skill", "description": "Use seedream-5-pro-layer-decomposition via RunAPI — the Seedream family.
