A Stable Diffusion WebUI (Forge) extension implementing Layer Diffusion to generate transparent images and separate foreground/background layers natively via a transparent latent space. It provides SDXL-based models for transparent generation, layer decomposition, and composition workflows.

Use cases

• generate transparent PNG images with stable diffusion
• remove image backgrounds natively during diffusion
• split an image into foreground and background layers
• generate foreground layers conditioned on a background
• create semi-transparent effects like glass and glow in AI images

When to choose

• you use SD WebUI Forge and need native transparent image generation
• you want layer separation (foreground/background) rather than post-hoc background removal
• you need fine details like fur, hair, or transparency preserved in generated images

When to avoid

• you use ComfyUI or another UI instead of Forge
• you need production-stable tooling - the project is marked WIP
• you work with models other than SDXL
