# Qwen-Image-2512

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Generates images from text prompts in English or Chinese, with better human realism, natural detail and text in pictures than the August Qwen-Image. For developers and designers using diffusers.

Qwen-Image-2512 is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by Qwen

## About

### What it is

Qwen-Image-2512 is the December update of the Qwen-Image text-to-image model, with about 20.4B parameters. You write a prompt, and it draws a picture, including pictures that contain written text.

Compared with the August release, the card lists three gains. People look less artificial, scenery and animal fur show finer detail, and text inside images comes out clearer with better layout.

### Who it suits

It suits developers, designers and creators who want an open image model they can run themselves, and who often need legible text or realistic people in their pictures.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Design | Visual designers | Draft posters and covers with readable text | Make a cover with a title |
| Marketing | Content teams | Produce pictures from short briefs | Create a product scene |
| Software | Developers | Add image generation to an app | Call the pipeline from code |
| Research | ML engineers | Compare open image models | Test prompts in English and Chinese |

If you do not have a large GPU or do not want to run a model yourself, you can skip it, since the full weights are about 40.9 GB in BF16.

### Where to use it

The model runs through the diffusers library in Python on Windows, macOS or Linux. The card shows a CUDA GPU as the main path, with a CPU fallback.

- Python scripts that use diffusers
- A CUDA GPU for reasonable speed
- Seven set aspect ratios, from square to 16:9

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Text to image | Creators | A picture drawn from your prompt |
| Pictures with text | Designers | Images with clearer lettering and layout |
| Realistic people | Marketing teams | Portraits with finer faces and settings |

### How to set it up

You need Python with pip, PyTorch and a recent diffusers, which the card says to install from its source repository on GitHub. Enough disk for the weights is also needed.

- Python with pip
- PyTorch and the latest diffusers
- About 40.9 GB of disk space for BF16 weights

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the model files, or let diffusers fetch them.
3. Install the latest diffusers as the card describes.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512
```

### How to use it

You load the pipeline, then call it with a prompt, a negative prompt, a width and height, and a step count. The card uses 50 steps and a true\_cfg\_scale of 4.0.

```python
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

model_name = "Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512"

# Load the pipeline
if torch.cuda.is_available():
    torch_dtype = torch.bfloat16
    device = "cuda"
else:
    torch_dtype = torch.float32
    device = "cpu"

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch_dtype).to(device)
```

```python
image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    negative_prompt=negative_prompt,
    width=width,
    height=height,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    true_cfg_scale=4.0,
    generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42)
).images[0]

image.save("example.png")
```

| Aspect ratio | Width and height |
| --- | --- |
| 1:1 | 1328 by 1328 |
| 16:9 | 1664 by 928 |
| 9:16 | 928 by 1664 |
| 4:3 | 1472 by 1104 |
| 3:4 | 1104 by 1472 |
| 3:2 | 1584 by 1056 |
| 2:3 | 1056 by 1584 |

### Example

You write a prompt for a street scene with a shop sign, pick the 16:9 size and run the pipeline. It returns an image, and you save it as example.png.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new, run the sample with a short prompt at the square size and look at the saved picture. Then try a prompt that asks for a sign with a few words on it.

If you know the field, the pipeline takes a negative prompt and a true CFG scale. The card's example uses a Chinese negative prompt that lists low quality, deformed hands and an AI look.

Load the diffusers pipeline → Write a prompt and a negative prompt → Choose a size and step count → Save the generated image

### Good to know

The card says over 10,000 blind rounds on AI Arena put it first among open-source models and competitive with closed ones. That is the maker's claim, so test it on your own prompts.

- License: apache-2.0
- Cost to run: none named, but it needs a strong GPU for comfort
- Data it reaches: files you download, and the prompts you write
- Not for: low-memory machines, since the BF16 weights are about 40.9 GB
