AI Image Generation

Generate Production-Ready Images in Seconds

Generate 2D content with leading models like FLUX, QWEN and SDXL, or with your own trained models.

Image Generation

Game art pipelines are under pressure from every direction. Live-ops calendars demand fresh content weekly, UA teams burn through creative variations, and art teams are stretched between concepting, production, and polish. Doing it all by hand doesn't scale, and stitching together a different AI tool for every model means juggling subscriptions, inconsistent quality, and assets scattered across accounts.

Layer's image generation puts leading text-to-image models — including FLUX, QWEN, and SDXL — and your own custom-trained models in one workspace. Type a prompt, steer with references, and generate at any aspect ratio, all with the control art teams need to ship work that actually matches the game.

01

Key capabilities

  • Every leading model, one workspace

    Generate with FLUX, QWEN, SDXL, and more of the 300+ AI models Layer offers across image, video, 3D, and audio. Day-0 integrations mean new models are available the moment they ship, so you're never locked into yesterday's quality.

  • Reference-guided generation

    Steer output with an init image plus typed guidance: pose, depth, canny/edge, scribble, line art, segmentation, or face. Lock the structure you need and let the model handle rendering, so results land close to your intent on the first pass.

  • Your style, trained in

    Custom style training (LoRA) learns your art direction from your own artwork, and Reference Sets pin characters, styles, and objects. Every artist on the team generates in the same visual language.

  • Text and typography on images

    Render typographic text directly onto images with font selection — no round trip to a design tool for banners, badges, or ad copy overlays.

  • Layered compositions and any aspect ratio

    Build layered compositions and collages from several images, and generate at any aspect ratio to match store listings, ad placements, and in-game surfaces without cropping compromises.

02

How it works

  1. Describe or reference what you need

    Write a prompt, or start from an init image with typed guidance to control pose, depth, edges, or faces. Attach a trained style or Reference Set to keep it on-brand.

  2. Generate and iterate

    Pick a model — or compare several — and generate variations at the aspect ratio you need. Refine the prompt, swap references, and converge fast.

  3. Refine and ship

    Add typographic text, compose layered images into a final piece, and export production-ready assets straight from your workspace.

03

Built for game production

  • UA creative at volume

    Spin up static ad variations across formats and aspect ratios, with on-image text and consistent characters, so performance teams always have fresh creative to test.

  • Live-ops content

    Event art, seasonal reskins, and promotional images on a weekly cadence — generated in your game's trained style instead of rebuilt from scratch every sprint.

  • Concepting and exploration

    Explore dozens of directions for characters, environments, and props before committing production time. Reference-guided control makes exploration deliberate, not random.

  • Game art production

    From icons to splash art, generate at the exact aspect ratio each surface needs, in a style trained on your own artwork — or, for 2D games, sprites snapped to real retro hardware — the same pipeline trusted by 400+ game studios and entertainment brands, including Zynga, SciPlay, and Huuuge Games.

For game art by job, see game UI kits, game icon sets, game location design and character turnaround sheets.

Pricing is consumption-based with Creative Units and no seat fees — plans start at $10/month for 300 CUs, and 10% of unused CUs roll over. Start free and see what your team can ship this week.

Questions about Image Generation

Which AI models can I use for image generation on Layer?+

Layer gives you access to leading image models including FLUX, QWEN, and SDXL, plus any custom models you train on your own artwork. With 300+ models across modalities in one workspace and day-0 integrations as new models ship, you never have to juggle separate tools or subscriptions.

Can I control composition and pose, not just the prompt?+

Yes. Reference-guided generation lets you steer results with an init image plus typed guidance such as pose, depth, canny/edge, scribble, line art, segmentation, or face, so you can lock structure while exploring style.

Can Layer generate images with readable text on them?+

Yes. You can render typographic text directly onto images with font selection, which is ideal for UA creative, banners, and store assets that need legible copy.

How does Layer keep generations on-brand?+

Custom style training (LoRA) teaches Layer your art direction from your own artwork, and Reference Sets pin specific characters, styles, and objects so results stay consistent across the team.

Is my artwork used to train foundation models?+

No. Customer data is never used to train foundation models, and Layer is enterprise-ready with SOC 2 Type II, SSO/SCIM, role-based access, and exportable audit logs.
