What Qwen Image 3 image editing can help direct

A stable starting composition

Use a reference when the position, point of view, or core subject should inform the next image.

An explicit change request

Separate the parts to preserve from the parts to replace, restyle, or add.

A reviewable result

Review whether the reference-guided details held before relying on the result for product or brand work.

What to check before using a Qwen Image 3 result

Inspect details that need to stay accurate
Treat each output as a new image. Review product details, text, proportions, and the elements a prompt or reference was intended to preserve.
Use only publishable source material
Upload reference images only when you have the rights to use them, and review the generated result before publishing it.

Qwen Image 3 image to image FAQ

Can Qwen Image 3 use a reference image?
Yes. When approved reference images are attached, ImageStyle routes the standard Qwen Image 3 workflow to its image-to-image endpoint.
How should I write an image-to-image instruction?
First say what should remain from the reference, then name the specific change. A short change request is easier to assess than a prompt that replaces every part of the source.
Will the result keep every detail of the reference?
No. Generated images can vary, so inspect product details, text, shapes, and any other requirement before publishing.
Does using a reference image cost the same?
The provider bills each supplied source image separately. Review the current workspace pricing before generating.
