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, or timeout
Retrieve — Read outputs from the completed response

API README

Qwen Image Max Edit

Qwen Image Max Edit is the Qwen Image route for instruction-driven image revision. It uses Qwen’s combined visual-semantic and appearance modeling to interpret subjects, relationships, typography, spatial structure, and surface detail as a connected composition, giving this exact route a clearer production purpose than a generic image request.

Use Qwen Image Max Edit when the project specifically requires a controlled change to supplied imagery. State the creative goal, then define composition, viewpoint, wording, materials, lighting, and finish; for edits, explicitly separate the intended transformation from identity, layout, or regions that must remain stable.

Highlights

Qwen Image Semantic content editing. Changes object identity, scene meaning, viewpoint, or style through natural language.
Qwen Image Appearance-level revision. Modifies local color, texture, text, or material while preserving surrounding context.
Qwen Image Chinese and English text editing. Adds, removes, or replaces bilingual wording in designed imagery.
Maximum-fidelity Qwen revision. Prioritizes complex edit interpretation and preservation of small visual and textual details.

When to Use

✅ Good fit	❌ Consider alternatives
The project needs this exact named workflow	The intended task belongs to another media route
All required reference or control media is available	Necessary assets or rights are unavailable
The brief can state transformation and preservation goals	Output must be deterministic at pixel or frame level
Supported duration, resolution, and format fit delivery	Final placement requires unsupported specifications
An asynchronous generated result fits production	A live frame-synchronous response is mandatory

Prompt Guide

Identify the primary subject and every source or condition, state the intended transformation or action, then describe composition, camera or viewpoint, lighting, materials, pacing, atmosphere, and exact preservation requirements. Refer to multiple inputs in their schema order.

{
  "prompt": "A precisely directed composition with explicit subject, transformation, camera or viewpoint, lighting, material, and preservation requirements",
  "seed": 1,
  "images": [
    "https://example.com/reference.png"
  ],
  "aspect_ratio": "21:9"
}
