Qwen has launched a new AI-backed image editing tool that promises to make advanced image editing accessible to everyone. It is completely free, local, and open source. The tool is built on the company’s 20B Qwen-Image model and focuses on one area that most AI image editors still struggle with: precise text editing. It supports both English and Chinese languages and ensures bilingual accuracy while preserving the original style of the image.
According to Qwen, the tool handles both high-level semantic edits (like rotating objects or changing viewpoints) and low-level appearance edits (like adding, deleting, or inserting objects). In practice, this means you can do everything from swapping out text on Scrabble tiles to turning a side-profile photo into a front-facing one, or even reimagining cartoon characters in new outfits and roles.
