Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 (20B, MMDiT)

Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 is a high-consistency, production-grade image editing model built on the Qwen-Image 20B (MMDiT) architecture, delivering stronger real-world edits, better identity preservation, and more reliable multi-subject control than earlier releases. It’s designed for fast, prompt-driven edits with stable composition, clean details, and commercial-ready output quality.

What’s new in 2511

  • Stronger multi-person consistency Handles group photos and multi-subject scenes with better stability and fewer identity swaps.

  • Integrated popular community LoRA styles Built-in style options for common community aesthetics without extra setup (availability depends on the endpoint).

  • Better industrial & product editing Cleaner structure, surfaces, and product geometry for design mockups and marketing visuals.

  • Reduced drift across edits Improved identity and subject consistency when making iterative or larger edits.

  • Improved geometric reasoning More reliable structural transformations and shape-aware editing.

Core capabilities

  • Dual-mode editing

  • Appearance editing: add/remove/modify elements while keeping other regions visually consistent.

  • Semantic editing: global style/pose/scene transformations that preserve intent while allowing broader pixel changes.

  • Precise text editing (when applicable) Add, delete, or replace on-image text while keeping natural typography behavior (spacing, alignment, style).

  • Style preservation Maintains lighting, palette, and overall look while applying targeted changes.

Best for

  • Multi-person projects — group photos, team portraits, event shots
  • Industrial & product design — product mockups, packaging tweaks, commercial comps
  • Identity-preserving edits — portraits, characters, avatar refinement
  • Design & marketing teams — fast iterations, brand-safe edits, localization visuals
  • E-commerce & social — product cleanup, background updates, quick visual variations

Example prompts

  • Multi-person: Add a third person matching the existing lighting and camera angle.
  • Industrial: Convert this product into a clean technical blueprint view with construction lines.
  • Identity: Keep the person’s facial features unchanged and replace the background with a modern office.
  • Appearance: Add a latte cup in the top-right corner without changing anything else.
  • Semantic: Restyle the scene as cyberpunk while keeping the brand logo and layout consistent.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
prompt*The edit instruction describing what to change and what to keep.
images*Input images to edit or reference. Up to 3 images maximum (the first image is typically treated as the main base image).

How to use

  1. Add your base image as the first item in images (you should see a preview in the UI).
  2. Optionally add 1–2 more reference images (maximum 3 total) to guide style, subject details, or composition.
  3. Write a clear prompt describing the edit and constraints (examples: “keep face unchanged”, “keep pose”, “keep background”).
  4. Run the model and review the result.
  5. Iterate by tightening constraints and making one major edit per run for best consistency.

Supported output formats typically include JPG / PNG / WEBP (as exposed by the endpoint).

Pricing

  • $0.03 per edited image

Note

If you’re using image URLs (instead of uploading locally), make sure they’re publicly accessible. If the URL is valid, the interface will display a preview before you run the job.

Qwen Image Edit 2511 API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/qwen-image/edit-2511 with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Qwen Image Edit 2511 below.

Qwen Image Edit 2511 API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Qwen Image Edit 2511 API?

Qwen Image Edit 2511 is a WaveSpeedAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Qwen Image Edit 2511 is a major upgrade over 2509 for real-world image editing and design. It delivers stronger edit consistency, robust multi-person identity/pose consistency, built-in LoRA styles, enhanced industrial/product design, and improved geometric reasoning for structure-preserving edits. Built for stable production use with a ready-to-use REST API, no cold starts, and predictable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Qwen Image Edit 2511 API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/qwen-image-edit-2511.

How much does Qwen Image Edit 2511 cost per run?

Qwen Image Edit 2511 starts at $0.020 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Qwen Image Edit 2511 accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `seed`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`, `output_format`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/qwen-image-edit-2511.

How long does Qwen Image Edit 2511 take to generate?

Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 7 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Qwen Image Edit 2511 outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
