What is Qwen Image Edit?

Introducing Qwen-Image-Edit, the image editing version of powerful Qwen-Image model. Built on Qwen model 20B parameter foundation, this advanced AI tool lets you edit images using simple text descriptions instead of complex manual tools.

What makes Qwen-Image-Edit special is its dual approach: it combines visual understanding (through Qwen2.5-VL) with appearance control (through VAE Encoder) to deliver both precise edits and creative transformations while maintaining image quality.
