Representative image for UniWorld-Design: From Pixel Generation to Layer-Native Design

Merged summary

TL;DR - UniWorld-Design generates and decomposes images as editable semantic RGBA layers rather than flat pixels, enabling more structured, agent-friendly visual creation and editing.

Text-to-RGBA generates standalone transparent assets directly from text.
Image-to-Layer produces ordered semantic layers using an image, global instructions, and per-layer prompts.
Complete-object layers remain usable when moved or removed, supporting decomposition and targeted extraction.
On Crello, it reduced per-layer RGB L1 error by 37% and improved Alpha Soft IoU by 34% relative to Qwen-Image-Layered.
