Qwen Image 2.1: Create, Combine, and Edit Images

Make transparent assets from text, combine up to 10 reference images, or change one selected part of an image without rebuilding the whole composition.

One model for images that need more control

Qwen Image 2.1 combines image generation, transparent output, multi-reference composition, and local edits in one image workflow. Each result is a creative candidate: inspect important details before using it.

Create a real transparent asset, not a white-background substitute

Generate a native RGBA image from a text prompt, or work with transparent layers during editing. Choose PNG or WebP for an alpha channel, and describe the subject without adding a scene or surface when transparency matters.

Put people, products, and style references in the same brief

Use one to 10 reference images and name the role of each one in your prompt. This is useful when a composition needs several distinct people, objects, garments, or product cues. Use fewer, focused references when retaining detail matters most.

Change the selected area and preserve the rest

For a local edit, add one reference image and a black-and-white mask. White marks what should change; black marks what should remain. Use it for a packaging color, a garment, a small product area, or another focused revision.

Give typography, texture, and light a clearer brief

Qwen Image 2.1 is optimized for refined typography, portrait lighting, realistic textures, and fine visual detail. State the material, lighting, wording, and small details you need, then zoom in and review every important word, face, logo, and product feature.

Four jobs that show what Qwen Image 2.1 is built for

Use the model where the input or output format is part of the creative requirement, not just a decorative image request.

Qwen Image 2.1 transparent asset example

Create product cutouts ready for a layout

Generate an RGBA product, mascot, sticker, or graphic element on a real transparent background. Keep the prompt focused on the subject and export PNG or WebP when you need alpha.

Transparent assetsProduct elementsRGBA
Qwen Image 2.1 outfit composed from multiple references

Build one scene from several real references

Assign each reference a clear role: a person, garment, product, prop, composition, or palette. A single image can bring those ingredients together without rewriting every detail from scratch.

Multi-referenceProducts and peopleComposition
Qwen Image 2.1 targeted local image edit example

Revise one detail without rebuilding the image

Mask the exact area that needs work and describe only what belongs inside the white area. Keep the rest of a product shot, portrait, or composition as the reference for the edit.

Explore text-led visuals and inspect the details

Create posters, packaging concepts, editorial scenes, or copy-led visuals with an explicit wording and material brief. Treat generated text as a candidate and verify it at the size where people will read it.

Three ways to make the brief more precise

Choose the simplest setup that communicates what must appear, what must stay, and what should change.

1

Start from text when the image is new

Describe the subject, composition, material, light, and exact wording. Use prompt enhancement when you want a short idea expanded, or turn it off to keep your own wording.

2

Use references when recognition matters

Upload the people, product, garment, or visual cues that should guide the result. Name what each reference contributes instead of leaving its role implied.

3

Add a mask when only one area should change

Pair one image with a black-and-white mask. Describe the replacement inside the white area, then inspect the preserved edges and the edited detail.

Start with the image you need to make or change

Write a detailed brief, add the references that matter, or mask the one area that needs a revision. Generate the result, then inspect what people will actually see.
