What you can create

• Marketing posters and infographics

  Generate professional posters, slide decks, and infographics with readable, correctly spelled text. Describe complex layouts with multiple text blocks, columns, and visual hierarchy — prompts support up to 1,000 tokens.

• Photorealistic portraits and scenes

  Create detailed, realistic images of people, nature, and architecture. Fine detail in skin, hair, textures, natural materials, and lighting — all at native 2K resolution without upscaling.

• Image editing and style transfer

  Upload a reference image and describe your changes. Restyle photos, add or remove elements, change lighting or mood, and apply cross-domain style transfers — all in the same model you use for generation.

• Multilingual text in images

  Render readable text in English, Chinese, and other languages. Labels, signs, titles, and complex typography are handled with high accuracy, making it ideal for international content creation.

Why creators choose Qwen Image 2

• Accurate text rendering

  Qwen Image 2 excels at rendering readable, correctly spelled text in images — a capability where most image models struggle. Posters, labels, signs, and infographics come out with legible typography.

• Native 2K resolution

  Generates at up to 2048×2048 natively, so you get sharp, detailed output without relying on post-generation upscaling. Fine textures, hair strands, and material details are preserved.

• Unified generation and editing

  One model handles both creating new images and editing existing ones. No need to switch between separate generation and editing tools — just add a reference image to switch from creation to editing mode.

• Smart prompt expansion

  Built-in prompt expansion automatically optimizes your descriptions for better results. Write a simple prompt and the model fills in the details — or disable it for full manual control.

How to generate your first image

1. Write your prompt. Describe your image with specific details about subject, composition, lighting, and style. Include any text you want rendered in the image. For image editing, switch to the Image-to-Image tab and upload a reference image.
2. Configure your settings. Choose your aspect ratio from 9 options (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 2:1, 1:2). Optionally add a negative prompt to exclude unwanted elements, or disable prompt expansion for full manual control.
