TEXT TO IMAGE
How to create an image from a prompt.
Follow these steps in order the first time you use Qwen Image 3.0.
Open the Qwen Image 3.0 Generator
Open the generator in your browser and locate the controls on the left and the preview area on the right. The workspace keeps the important settings on one page, so you can move from an idea to a result without navigating through complicated menus. Before your first generation, identify the Prompt, Negative Prompt, Aspect Ratio, Image Size, Outputs, Random Seed, and Improve My Prompt controls.
Choose Text to Image
Select Text to Image when you want to create a brand-new visual from scratch. This mode is a practical choice for illustrations, product photography, posters, social media graphics, character concepts, marketing visuals, wallpapers, landscapes, and creative artwork. If you already have a source image that must be changed, switch to Image Edit instead of trying to rebuild the entire scene from text.
Write a complete prompt
The prompt is the most important part of the Qwen Image 3.0 workflow. Think of it as a short creative brief. Name the main subject, environment, lighting, visual style, camera view, and overall mood. A complete description gives the model more useful context than disconnected keywords. Even one or two specific details can make the composition easier to understand and improve the first result.
Add a Negative Prompt when needed
A Negative Prompt tells the model what should not appear. For portraits, useful exclusions may include blurry details, distorted hands, extra fingers, or a cropped face. For product photography, you may want to avoid unwanted text, logos, duplicate products, or unrealistic reflections. Keep the list relevant to the image rather than adding every possible defect.
Choose the Aspect Ratio
Aspect Ratio controls the shape of the generated image. A square format works well for product listings and many social posts. Portrait layouts suit posters and mobile content, while landscape formats are useful for presentation slides, banners, and desktop wallpapers. Choose the final shape before generation so Qwen Image 3.0 can compose the scene for that canvas instead of forcing you to crop important content later.
Select the Image Size
Image Size controls the output resolution. The default size is usually the best place to test a prompt because it balances quality and generation speed. Higher resolution does not repair a weak prompt or unclear composition. First confirm that the subject, framing, lighting, and visual hierarchy work; then choose a larger size for the final version when it is available.
Set the number of Outputs
Outputs determines how many variations are generated in one request. One image is ideal while you are learning what each prompt change does. Once the prompt consistently produces a useful direction, create more variations to compare poses, framing, colors, or composition. This keeps early testing simple and saves larger batches for the stage when they add real value.
Keep Random Seed on Automatic
Random Seed influences the variation in each generation. Automatic mode gives you a fresh interpretation whenever you run the same prompt, which is useful while exploring ideas. More experienced users can reuse a known seed when they want to reproduce or build on a previous result. For most first-time workflows, Automatic provides the simplest and most flexible starting point.
Enable Improve My Prompt
Improve My Prompt expands a short idea into a more descriptive instruction before generation. It can add helpful context about lighting, environment, composition, and visual style. This feature is especially useful for beginners or when you know the subject but have not decided how the final image should look. Turn it off when you already have a carefully controlled prompt and want the wording followed closely.
Generate, inspect, and refine
Review the prompt and settings, then generate the image. Treat the first result as feedback rather than a finished asset. Check whether the subject, environment, composition, lighting, text, and style match your intent. If something is wrong, change one element at a time - such as the camera angle, color palette, or light - and generate again. Small revisions make it easier to understand what improved the result.

IMAGE EDIT
Change an existing image with plain language.
Image Edit begins with a reference image. Describe what should change and clearly protect the details that should remain the same.
Upload a clear reference image
Open Image Edit and upload the highest-quality source available. A clean, high-resolution reference gives Qwen Image 3.0 more detail to preserve. When the interface allows multiple references, you can combine a subject image with a background, color, or style reference, but every reference should have a clear purpose.
Describe only the requested change
Focus the editing prompt on what should be modified. For example: replace the background with a modern office, change the shirt from blue to black, add warm sunset lighting, remove the cup from the table, or turn the photo into a watercolor painting. You do not need to redescribe the complete image unless you want a major transformation.
State what must stay unchanged
Preservation instructions are essential for portraits, products, and brand assets. Name the features that must remain stable, such as the person's face, expression, clothing, pose, product shape, logo placement, camera view, or lighting direction. This gives the edit a clear boundary and helps protect the identity of the source image.
Generate and refine gradually
Compare the edited result with the original. Confirm that the requested change happened, important details stayed consistent, and the new image still looks natural. If another revision is needed, narrow the instruction instead of adding several unrelated changes. Incremental edits are easier to evaluate and usually produce more predictable results.
BEFORE
A professional business portrait with a plain office background.
EDITING PROMPT
Replace the office background with a modern conference room while keeping the person's face, clothing, pose, and facial expression unchanged. Use soft natural lighting for a clean corporate look.
AFTER
The same person and pose appear in a polished conference room with consistent identity and natural light.
PROMPT WRITING TIPS
Improve the description before adding complexity.
Better prompts are the fastest way to make Qwen Image 3.0 results more specific and useful.
Describe the subject clearly
Replace a broad subject such as 'a dog' with a specific description such as 'a golden retriever sitting beside a mountain lake.'
Add an environment
Give the subject a useful context: a modern office, Japanese garden, snowy mountain, luxury apartment, futuristic city, or cozy coffee shop.
Mention the lighting
Use light to shape atmosphere: soft morning light, golden hour, dramatic studio light, overcast daylight, neon light, or candlelight.
Choose a visual style
Name a clear direction such as realistic photography, cinematic, anime, watercolor, oil painting, pixel art, 3D render, or minimalist illustration.
Refine one variable at a time
Change only the light, camera, style, or another single element between generations so you can see which adjustment helped.
Use Negative Prompts selectively
Add only the exclusions that are likely to affect the current image instead of reusing an oversized generic list.
COMMON MISTAKES
Fix the workflow instead of guessing.
Most disappointing results become easier to correct when you identify one clear cause.
Writing extremely short prompts
A prompt such as 'a city' leaves most decisions undefined. Add the location, time, architecture, action, lighting, and visual treatment.
Forgetting the environment
A subject without context can feel generic or incomplete. Describe where the subject is and how it relates to the background.
Ignoring lighting
Lighting affects realism, depth, materials, and mood. Adding one clear lighting direction is one of the fastest ways to improve a prompt.
Making the Negative Prompt too long
Do not bury the creative brief under dozens of exclusions. Focus on likely problems that would make this specific image unusable.
Changing too many things at once
A complete rewrite makes it difficult to understand what helped. Keep a strong version and adjust one variable between attempts.
Expecting perfection immediately
AI image creation is iterative. Use each result as feedback, make a focused correction, and compare the new image with the best previous version.
BEFORE YOU GENERATE
Review five things.
- The prompt clearly describes the subject and scene.
- The Negative Prompt includes only necessary exclusions.
- The Aspect Ratio matches the intended use.
- Image Size and Outputs suit the current testing stage.
- Improve My Prompt is enabled only when it helps.
FAQ
How to Use Qwen Image 3.0 FAQ
Answers about generation, editing, prompts, references, settings, variation, and image quality.
How do I use Qwen Image 3.0?
Open the generator, choose Text to Image or Image Edit, write a clear prompt, adjust the available settings, and select Generate. Review the result and refine one part of the prompt at a time. The Qwen Image 3.0 interface on this site is currently a preview; Qwen Image 2.0 and Qwen Image 2.0 Pro are the connected options while the official Qwen Image 3.0 API is pending.
What is the difference between Text to Image and Image Edit?
Text to Image creates a new image from a written description. Image Edit starts with an uploaded image and changes selected parts while preserving the elements you identify as important.
How many reference images can I upload for Image Edit?
The planned Qwen Image 3.0 workflow supports up to three reference images. Actual limits can depend on the interface and API version available when the service launches, so check the current upload controls before starting an edit.
What does Improve My Prompt do?
It expands a short prompt into a more descriptive instruction, often adding useful context for composition, lighting, environment, and style. It is most useful when you have an idea but have not written a detailed creative brief.
What is Random Seed?
Random Seed influences how image variations are produced. Automatic is recommended for exploration because it creates fresh interpretations. Reusing a specific seed can help when you want to reproduce or build on an earlier result.
Why are my images different every time?
AI image generation includes controlled randomness. Even with the same prompt, details such as composition, lighting, and texture may vary. This is useful for exploration; use a fixed seed when supported if you need closer repeatability.
Should I always use a Negative Prompt?
No. Many images work without one. Use a Negative Prompt when you need to avoid specific problems such as blurry details, unwanted text, watermarks, distorted hands, duplicate objects, or an incorrect background element.
How can I improve Qwen Image 3.0 image quality?
Start with a specific prompt that defines the subject, environment, lighting, camera, style, and mood. Choose the final aspect ratio early, test one output at a time, and refine the prompt gradually. A clearer prompt usually matters more than changing several settings at once.
