Specifications

Provider-documented facts. “Not collected” means we have not verified that field yet, not that the feature is unsupported.

Context / input limit
Not collected
Maximum input tokens
1,300 tokensSource for Maximum input tokens (opens in a new tab)

Synchronous positive text prompt; excess tokens are truncated. This is not a multimodal context window.

Maximum output

Knowledge cutoff

Release date
2026-03-03Source for Release date (opens in a new tab)

Earliest reviewed regional availability. A date suffix is not substituted for the platform release date.

Parameters

Languages
Chinese, EnglishSource for Languages (opens in a new tab)

Documented prompt languages. Native text-rendering language marketing is a separate claim.

API aliases
qwen-image-2.0-pro-2026-03-03Source for API aliases (opens in a new tab)

Rolling names and dated snapshots remain separate; capability comparisons do not prove identical private weights.

Images per request
1–6 output images, default 1Source for Images per request (opens in a new tab)
Output resolutions
512×512 to 2048×2048 total pixelsSource for Output resolutions (opens in a new tab)
Input image formats
JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, WEBP, GIFSource for Input image formats (opens in a new tab)
Output link expiry
Generated image URLs expire after 24 hoursSource for Output link expiry (opens in a new tab)

Not a complete input-data retention or training-use policy.

Random seed range
0–2,147,483,647; omitted selects a random seedSource for Random seed range (opens in a new tab)

Probabilistic generation does not guarantee identical output for the same seed.

Visible watermark
Optional watermark, off by defaultSource for Visible watermark (opens in a new tab)
Input image limits
1–3 ordered references for editing, 10 MB each. Recommended dimensions: 384–3,072 pixels per side; this recommendation is not a hard bound. Public URL or Base64; GIF uses the first frame.Source for Input image limits (opens in a new tab)
Resolution controls
Generation defaults to 2048×2048. Editing defaults near 1024×1024 pixel area and follows the last reference aspect ratio; specified dimensions round to nearby multiples of 16.Source for Resolution controls (opens in a new tab)
Negative prompts
At most 500 characters; excess is truncatedSource for Negative prompts (opens in a new tab)
Prompt rewriting
prompt_extend=true by default; rewrites the positive prompt, leaving negative prompt unchanged.Source for Prompt rewriting (opens in a new tab)
Request mode
Reviewed access uses synchronous DashScope multimodal-generation for text-to-image and image editing. A generic async section on the generation page has a different schema and unresolved version scope.Source for Request mode (opens in a new tab)
Asynchronous generation
Not supportedSource for Asynchronous generation (opens in a new tab)

The model-specific FAQ says synchronous calls only. A generic asynchronous section elsewhere on this page does not override that explicit statement.

Output billing
Only successful generated images are billed; image input is free because no input tariff is published.Source for Output billing (opens in a new tab)
Usage metering
Successful output images × native per-image rateSource for Usage metering (opens in a new tab)
Published availability regions

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Classification inference: the separately documented Qwen Image 2.0/3.0 API selector has no exact checkpoint in the reviewed official Qwen image-weight inventory. Public Qwen-Image, Edit, Layered and 2.1 checkpoints are excluded; private lineage and parameter counts are not inferred from them.
