Qwen-Image is a powerful, open source new AI image generator with support for embedded text in English & Chinese

My initial tests revealed the text and prompt adherence was not noticeably better than Midjourney, the popular proprietary AI image generator

Marketing & Branding: Bilingual posters with brand logos, stylistic calligraphy, and consistent design motifs Presentation Design: Layout-aware slide decks with title hierarchies and theme-appropriate visuals Education: Generation of classroom materials featuring diagrams and precisely rendered instructional text Retail & E-commerce: Storefront scenes where product labels, signage, and environmental context must all be readable Creative Content: Handwritten poetry, scene narratives, anime-style illustration with embedded story text Yet Midjourney only offers a limited number of free generations and requires subscriptions for any more, compared to Qwen Image, which, thanks to its open source licensing and weights posted on Hugging Face, can be adopted by any enterprise or third-party provider free-of-charge. The training corpus includes billions of image-text pairs sourced from four domains: natural imagery, human portraits, artistic and design content (such as posters and UI layouts), and synthetic text-focused data.
