Qwen-Image-Edit: High-Quality and Efficient Image Editing

Alibaba's Qwen team introduces Qwen-Image-Edit, an image editing model derived from the 20B Qwen-Image model. It integrates Qwen2.5-VL for visual semantic control and VAE encoder for visual appearance control, enabling both semantic editing (e.g., style transfer, object rotation) and appearance editing (e.g., adding/removing elements) with high precision. The model supports bilingual text editing (Chinese and English) while preserving original font, size, and style. Tests on multiple public benchmarks show state-of-the-art performance. Users can access it via Qwen Chat's 'Image Editing' feature. Examples include editing a Capybara mascot, rotating objects 180 degrees, transferring styles like Studio Ghibli, and correcting calligraphy errors step by step.
