Qwen Image 2.1 Features

One compact open model for generation, editing and transparent assets

  1. 01

    Generation and Editing in One Model

    A single model handles text-to-image and instruction-based editing, so you can create an image and keep refining it without switching tools or losing style.

  2. 02

    Native Transparent PNGs

    A 64-channel RGBA autoencoder generates true alpha channels, so stickers, logos and product cut-outs come out on a transparent background with no extra masking step.

  3. 03

    Up to 10 Reference Images

    Combine as many as ten references in one edit, such as a model, clothing, shoes, bag and hat, or several portraits merged into one group photo.

  4. 04

    Precise Local Edits

    Point at the area to change with a drawn circle, painted annotation or separate mask, and edit several regions at once while the rest of the image stays intact.

  5. 05

    Faithful Portraits and Products

    Identity preservation keeps faces, logos and product details consistent across edits, with improved portrait lighting and realistic skin and material textures.

  6. 06

    Native 2K Resolution

    Generate at 2048×2048 or widescreen sizes up to 2752×1536 across 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 ratios in portrait or landscape orientation.

  7. 07

    Refined Typography

    Improved text rendering produces clean signs, posters and labels, and edits can rewrite text inside existing images or on transparent layers.

  8. 08

    Compact and Fast

    A 7B single-stream DiT caches reference images and instructions once per request, which keeps multi-image editing fast and generation affordable.

How to Use Qwen Image 2.1

Generate or edit images with Qwen Image 2.1 in three simple steps

  1. 01

    Write a Prompt or Upload References

    Describe the image you want, or switch to editing and upload up to 10 reference images with an instruction such as changing the background.

  2. 02

    Choose Size and Format

    Pick an aspect ratio or a custom size up to 2752 pixels, and keep PNG output when you ask for a transparent background.

  3. 03

Qwen Image 2.1 is an open-weight image model from Alibaba's Qwen team, released on September 20, 2026. It unifies text-to-image generation and image editing in one model with a 7B-parameter visual generator (32 single-stream DiT layers) and a Qwen3-VL 8B text and image encoder.
Yes. Its RGBA autoencoder generates a real alpha channel, so you can ask for a sticker, logo or product cut-out on a transparent background. Keep the output format set to PNG or WebP on Dreamega, because JPEG does not store transparency.
The edit mode accepts up to 10 reference images in a single request. Qwen's own examples include a group photo built from six separate portraits and a full outfit assembled from five references: model, clothing, shoes, bag and hat.
The model natively works at 2K. Recommended sizes range from 2048×2048 for square images to 2752×1536 for 16:9. On Dreamega you can pick a preset aspect ratio or enter a custom width and height up to 2752 pixels.
The model weights are released under the Qwen Research License, which restricts running the model itself for commercial purposes. Qwen has stated that model outputs are not part of the licensed materials and that users retain the rights to the images they generate. Check the license for your specific case.
Text-to-image costs 1 credit per image and editing costs 2 credits per image. You can generate up to four images per request, and credits are charged per image produced.
