To experience the latest model, please visit Qwen Chat and select the "Image Editing" feature. Compared with Qwen-Image-Edit released in August, the main improvements of Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 include: Multi-image Editing Support: For multi-image inputs, Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 builds upon the Qwen-Image-Edit architecture and is further trained via image concatenation to enable multi-image editing. It supports various combinations such as "person + person," "person + product," and "person + scene." Optimal performance is currently achieved with 1 to 3 input images. Enhanced Single-image Consistency: For single-image inputs, Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 significantly improves editing consistency, specifically in the following areas: - Improved Person Editing Consistency: Better preservation of facial identity, supporting various portrait styles and pose transformations; - Improved Product Editing Consistency: Better preservation of product identity, supporting product poster editing； - Improved Text Editing Consistency: In addition to modifying text content, it also supports editing text fonts, colors, and materials； Native Support for ControlNet: Including depth maps, edge maps, keypoint maps, and more.
