Capabilities

Complex text rendering

Best-in-class for text-in-image generation — multi-line layouts, paragraph semantics, Chinese and English in the same image, posters, infographics, PPT slides, and comics.

Bilingual text

Renders Chinese and English text accurately within the same image — essential for East Asian markets and bilingual creative work.

Integrated image editing

The unified Qwen-Image-2.0 model handles generation and editing in one — style transfer, object insertion/removal, text editing within images, pose manipulation.

Photorealistic humans

Detailed facial features, skin textures, pores, and natural lighting for high-quality portrait and lifestyle photography.

Native 2K resolution

Generates at 2048×2048 natively — no upscaling. Supports custom dimensions from 512px to 2048px on each side.

Stylized illustration

Enhanced lighting and texture control for stylized concepts, detailed concept art, and scientifically-grounded illustrations.

Prompting tips

  • For text-in-image — Describe exactly what text should appear and how: “A book cover with the title ‘The Last Algorithm’ in large silver metallic lettering, sci-fi aesthetic.”
  • For bilingual layouts — Specify both the English and Chinese text content and their relative positions for accurate rendering.
  • For illustrations — Use rich descriptive vocabulary: “hyperdetailed concept art”, “scientific illustration style”, “editorial infographic” push the model toward its strongest outputs.
  • For editing — Describe changes clearly: “change the sky to a sunset”, “add a coffee cup on the desk”, “make the text red”.

Example prompts

A detailed scientific diagram of a human cell with labeled organelles — nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum — clean white background, educational illustration style.
A Chinese New Year poster with bold red typography reading “新年快乐” (Happy New Year) and “2026” in gold, traditional patterns, fireworks illustration.
