Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

Qwen Image
Qwen Image is Alibaba's text-to-image model for building polished visual compositions from detailed natural-language direction. Its core strength is semantic scene construction: it can organize subjects, environments, relationships, and embedded wording into one coherent image instead of treating the prompt as a loose collection of visual keywords.
The model is particularly capable when typography is part of the artwork, including complex Chinese and English text, posters, signs, labels, and designed layouts. It also spans photorealistic and stylized output, making the route useful for campaign concepts, editorial illustration, product visualization, and design studies that begin without a source image.
Highlights
Complex text rendering. Places legible Chinese and English wording inside posters, signs, labels, and other designed compositions.
Deep semantic composition. Organizes multiple objects, spatial relationships, actions, and scene context from detailed instructions.
Photorealistic generation. Produces convincing people, materials, lighting, and environments for commercial and editorial concepts.
Broad style range. Moves between illustration, graphic design, animation-inspired imagery, and realistic photography while following the brief.

When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output | A different input modality or model route is required |
| A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline | A synchronous, interactive editor is essential |
| The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format | The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema |
| Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure | Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory |
| A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable | Editable source layers or a native project file are required |
Prompt Guide
For generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
