Qwen-Image Edit gives Photoshop a run for its money with AI-powered text-to-image edits that work in seconds

Qwen-Image-Edit caters to professionals who need control while remaining approachable for casual experimentation.

And given that the model is available as an open source code under an Apache 2.0 license, it’s safe for enterprises to take, download and set up for free on their own hardware or virtual clouds/machines, potentially resulting in a huge cost savings from proprietary software like Photoshop. Here’s an example of semantic editing from Shridhar Athinarayanan, an engineer at AI applications platform Replicate, who used a Replicate-hosted implementation or “inference” of Qwen to reskin a photo of Manhattan to look like a toy Lego set. While specific editing benchmark figures were not detailed in the release, Qwen-Image itself ranked highly in independent evaluations such as AI Arena, where human raters compared outputs across models from different providers.
