Prompt Tips and Output Quality

• •To get the best results, it is recommended to write prompts that are descriptive and abundant in creative imagination so that there is a clear focus on the scene's composition, lighting, and mood.
• •If the image needs text integration, clearly specify font styles, text positioning, and preferred language.
• •Using 8-12 steps will yield optimal quality-speed balance; higher values will improve detail but also increase processing time.
• •To achieve creative interpretations, set the guidance scale to 2.5
• •5.0 will give precise prompt adherence.
• •The quality parameter (80-100) has a significant impact on the final output's quality in terms of sharpness and detail retention.

Guide to Using the Image Generation Model Effectively

This guide covers best practices and recommended settings for a variety of use cases. Adjust the parameters below to find the ideal balance between creativity, quality, and performance.

1. Crafting Your Prompt

• •Be concise but descriptive: focus on lighting, color, mood, and subject.
• •Example: “A misty mountain valley at sunrise with golden light filtering through pine trees.”

2. Steps (1–16)

• •Controls the number of refinement iterations.
• •8–12 steps: fast previews, moderate quality.
• •12–16 steps: highest detail, longer processing time.
• •Recommendation: start at 10, increase if you need sharper details.

3. Seed

• •seed = -1: each generation is unique.
• •fixed seed (e.g., 42): reproducible outputs for consistent batches.
• •Use fixed seeds when you need the same style across multiple runs.

4. Guidance Scale (1.0–20.0) [Advanced]

• •Lower (1.0–3.0): more creative, can deviate from prompt.
• •Medium (3.0–7.0): balanced adherence and creativity.
• •High (7.0–12.0+): very literal to prompt, less variation.
• •Default: 3.0 for general use.

5. Aspect Ratio

• •16:9 – Cinematic scenes, desktop wallpapers
• •1:1 – Social media posts (Instagram)
• •9:16 – Mobile wallpapers, vertical stories
• •4:3, 3:2, etc. – Standard print or gallery formats

6. Image Format

• •png – Lossless, best for graphics and transparency
• •jpeg – Smaller file size, ideal for web photos
• •webp – Good compression with quality retention

7. Quality (10–100)

• •80–90: web use, fast download
• •90–100: print media, high fidelity
• •Lower values speed up generation and reduce file size.

8. Base64 Output [Advanced]

• •Enable for embedding images directly in HTML/CMS.
• •Disable for saving as standalone files or URLs.

Its exceptional feature is the impeccable text rendering, especially for Chinese characters. It also possesses integrated editing capabilities.

What's the optimal step count for best results?

You can use "8-12 steps" for most of the applications. But if you need marginal quality improvements, go with higher values (up to 16) - at increased processing cost.

Can I generate consistent images?

Yes, you can generate reproducible outputs across multiple generations by using a fixed seed value instead of -1.

What aspect ratios work best?

You can get the desired results by using - 16:9 for cinematic content, 1:1 for social media, and 9:16 for mobile-first designs.

Does it support batch processing?

Qwen-Image is more suitable for processing single requests efficiently, and its parameters are designed to produce individual high-quality outputs.
