Qwen Image 3.0 image generation with three-reference editing

Qwen Image 3.0 renders an image from a description or edits from one to three of your own references, at the 1K or 2K tier, with PNG or JPEG output.

Controls and specifications

Use an uploaded reference to guide the subject, product or layout, and describe the changes you want. Review the result before using it.

Plan your prompt controls. Prompt rewriting is switched on by default, so a short description can be enriched with visual detail, and you can switch it off when the exact wording matters. An optional negative prompt and an optional seed cover the rest of the repeat work.

Choose a tier (1K or 2K), a shape, an output format and, optionally, a negative prompt and a seed. Prompt rewriting is on by default. Every reference image is quoted separately, starting with the first, so the quote rises with the number you upload.

What this model is good at

Editing with up to three references

Upload between one and three images, for example a product, a colour reference and a setting, and describe how they should combine in one render.

Eight aspect ratios

Eight shapes from square to 21:9, and the same list stays selectable when you start from a reference instead of a description.

Prompt rewriting you can switch off

Leave it on to let the model add visual detail to a short prompt, or turn it off so your wording reaches the model unchanged.

Typical projects

Iterating on one subject

Draft from a description, then move to reference editing once a version is close and the same subject is needed in new settings.

Format-fitted sets

Render the same idea in square, portrait and 21:9 so one concept covers feed, story and header placements.

Short-prompt drafting

Leave prompt rewriting on to expand a few words into a fuller scene, then tighten the wording yourself once the direction is right.

Limits to know before you start

  • References are charged from the first one: no reference image is included in the base quote, so adding images raises the amount shown before you confirm.
  • The prompt limit is 5000 characters, lower than several other image models on this platform, and the negative prompt shares the same limit.
  • In our paid checks, a single-reference edit at the 1K tier returned one square 1024 × 1024 PNG. Other tier and shape combinations were not measured, so treat a tier as a quality setting rather than a promised pixel size.
  • Requesting several images in one go submits the request once per image, and the quote multiplies with the count you pick.

How to start

1

Open the workspace

Use a button on this page. It opens the right workspace with this model already selected, in the language you are reading now.

2

Describe the result

Write what should happen in the shot or image. Concrete subjects, framing and action give the model more to work with than short labels.

3

Set the controls and confirm

Choose length or quality tier, shape and sound where offered, then read the credit quote for those exact settings before you generate.

What it costs

Generation uses account credits. Cost depends on the model, quality and output size or duration. Reference images, video or audio may add charges in some modes. Check the workspace quote for your selected inputs and settings before generating; the pricing page lists credit packages.

Questions about this model

How many reference images can I use?

Between one and three per editing task. Each reference is quoted on top of the base amount, from the first one, so the quote rises with the number you upload.

Does prompt rewriting change my prompt?

It can. The control is on by default and lets the model enrich a short description with visual detail. Switch it off when exact wording, such as text that must appear on the image, has to reach the model unchanged.

How do the 1K and 2K tiers differ?

For this model both tiers are quoted at the same amount, so the choice is about the quality setting you want rather than the price.

Which file types can I upload and receive?

Uploads can be JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB per image. Finished files are PNG or JPEG, selected before you generate.

Does a fixed seed repeat the same image?

The seed field is optional and takes an integer. We do not promise that repeating a seed reproduces an identical image, so compare the results instead of assuming a match.
