Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen team has introduced Qwen-Image-Edit, an advanced image editing model derived from the 20B Qwen-Image framework. The new system expands upon Qwen-Image’s distinct text rendering capabilities by applying them to image editing, with a particular focus on precision in text modifications. Qwen-Image-Edit processes input images through two parallel components: Qwen2.5-VL, which manages visual semantic control, and the VAE Encoder, which governs visual appearance. This dual approach enables the model to handle both semantic-level and appearance-level editing tasks effectively. The tool is accessible through Qwen Chat under the “Image Editing” feature.
