Originally released by Qwen on Hugging Face. All credit goes to the Qwen team.
Qwen Image 2.1 combines text-to-image generation and image editing in a single model. Its visual generation component has 7 billion parameters across 32 single-stream DiT layers, balancing image quality, efficiency and versatility.
The release introduces four main improvements:
- Efficient architecture: Mixed-granularity attention and reuse of cached prefixes reduce computation while maintaining image quality.
- Generation and editing with transparency: Create regular or transparent RGBA images, edit transparent layers and isolate subjects from photographs.
- Flexible editing: Work with up to ten reference images, guide local changes using circles, painted annotations or separate masks, and preserve the identity of people and products.
- Improved visual detail: Refined typography, portrait lighting, realistic textures and finer details.
Released under the Qwen Research License Agreement. See the original model card for examples and usage instructions.

since krea 2 exists this is pretty much dead on arrival.
As the other user mentioned, pretty much useless, you can't even use it for upscaling as it will completly destroy the original textures of your prefered model, maybe, MAYBE the best use case would be using it for quick edits taking advatange of the model speed, THEN upscaling with a refiner of your choice, a example would add say Mickey Mouse to any of your renders then upscaling using Krea.
I used the workflow where Krea2 rendered the draft in Text--to-Image. SDXL model used as a textures refiner. Worked well for me some time until I've trained the Krea2 with good textures.
I think tandem of Qwen Image 2.1 with Krea2 or SDXL might be viable and usable for some cases.
skill issue, change CFG to 3.5
TS is so ass
A waste of space. A waste of compute.
lol there is some shilly shilling going on. All negative comments, in reality this is the best edit model out right now. K2 is awesome, but only sort of works as an editor, Q2.1 seems pretty great.
Explain how it's the best edit model? The Qwen VAE is bad comapred to the Flux 2 VAE
@elevendr lol, Qwen 2.1 doesn't use the shitty Qwen 1 VAE... But I'm sure you knew that, right?!
