Core Functionality:
At its heart, Qwen Image API leverages multimodal diffusion transformers to convert text prompts into detailed, artistic images, supporting both English and Chinese for native text integration.
Input
The prompt to generate the image with
Click to upload or drag and drop
Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WEBP Maximum file size: 10MB
The reference image to guide the generation
Denoising strength. 1.0 = fully remake; 0.0 = preserve original
The format of the generated image
Acceleration level for image generation. Options: 'none', 'regular', 'high'. Higher acceleration increases speed. 'regular' balances speed and quality. 'high' is recommended for images without text
The negative prompt for the generation
The same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of the model will output the same image every time
The number of inference steps to perform
The CFG (Classifier Free Guidance) scale is a measure of how close you want the model to stick to your prompt when looking for a related image to show you
The safety checker is always enabled in Playground. It can only be disabled by setting false through the API.

QWEN IMAGE vs. GEMINI 2.5 FLASH IMAGE vs. FLUX KONTEXT Comparison
| Aspect | QWEN IMAGE | GEMINI 2.5 FLASH IMAGE | FLUX KONTEXT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Focus | Fast, open-source image generation and editing with superior text rendering | Accurate artificial intelligence for image modification and creation using everyday language | Image creation and modification based on context |
| Editing Precision | High: Excels in precise text edits, object manipulation, and detail preservation | Elevated: Shines in item exchanges, aesthetic conversions, and maintaining visual harmony | Average: Effective for general alterations, has difficulty with intricate elements |
| Speed | Ultra-fast: ~8-20 seconds per edit | Quick: Several dozen seconds for each operation | Fluctuating: Takes longer on intricate jobs (potentially minutes) |
| Realism & Physics | Superior: High realism with accurate lighting and physics compliance | Outstanding: Lifelike illumination, shading, and adherence to physical laws | Solid: Realism tied to surroundings, with sporadic discrepancies |
| Style Transfer | Strong: Precise style transfers with multilingual text integration | Adaptable: Smooth shifts between realistic photos and creative art forms | Robust: Fluid changes in appearance, not as exact |
| Consistency | High: Strong subject and semantic consistency in edits | Superb: Preserves uniformity through multiple versions | Unreliable during elaborate modifications |
| Pricing | $0.0125 per image on Kie.ai | $0.02 per image on Kie.ai | $0.025 or $0.05 per image on Kie.ai |
