https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen-Image-2.1#introductionIntroduction

We are excited to open-sourceQwen-Image-2.1, a unified text-to-image generation and image editing model in the Qwen family. With just7B parameters in its visual generation component(32 Single-Stream DiT layers), Qwen-Image-2.1 balances generation quality, inference efficiency, and versatility.

Four key improvements define this release:

• Compact and Efficient— A lightweight architecture with mixed-granularity attention and prefix KV cache reuse delivers strong image quality at low computational cost.
• Native Transparency, Unified Creation and Editing— Generate regular or transparent (RGBA) images from text, edit transparent layers, and extract subjects from photographs—all in one model.
• Versatile Editing— Support up to10 reference images, specify local edits via circles, painted annotations, or separate masks, and preserve identity for people and products.
• Realistic Textures and Refined Aesthetics— Improved typography, portrait lighting, and fine details for more visually compelling results.

Use the recommended prompt format for transparent images:

image = pipe(
    prompt="This is an RGBA image with transparency. A cute cartoon dragon sticker. The image has alpha channel and the background is transparent.",
    width=2048, height=2048,
    num_inference_steps=40,
    generator=torch.Generator("cuda").manual_seed(42),
).images[0]

image.save("transparent_example.png")
