Introduction

We are excited to open-source Qwen-Image-2.1, a unified text-to-image generation and image editing model in the Qwen family. With just 7B parameters in its visual generation component (32 Single-Stream DiT layers), Qwen-Image-2.1 balances generation quality, inference efficiency, and versatility.

Four key improvements define this release:

• Compact and Efficient — A lightweight architecture with mixed-granularity attention and prefix KV cache reuse delivers strong image quality at low computational cost.

• Native Transparency, Unified Creation and Editing — Generate regular or transparent (RGBA) images from text, edit transparent layers, and extract subjects from photographs—all in one model.

• Versatile Editing — Support up to 10 reference images, specify local edits via circles, painted annotations, or separate masks, and preserve identity for people and products.

• Realistic Textures and Refined Aesthetics — Improved typography, portrait lighting, and fine details for more visually compelling results.
