Qwen Image Edit: Finally Solving Character Consistency in AI Image Generation

Introduction

Qwen-Image-Edit is a 20B parameter model built on top of Qwen-Image.

It combines semantic editing, appearance editing, and text editing in a single powerful model.

The model is open-source under the Apache 2.0 license, which means it can be freely used and adapted for commercial projects.

Qwen-Image-Edit also integrates smoothly into ComfyUI workflows for advanced customization, and with Bulk Image Generator for large-scale editing tasks.

Main Features

Semantic Editing: Qwen-Image-Edit can rotate objects, change their style or identity, and reinterpret scenes while keeping the overall context intact.

Appearance Editing: The model allows you to remove or add objects, as well as make fine-grained adjustments such as changing colors or small details, without breaking the background.

Text Editing: Qwen-Image-Edit can modify or erase text inside images while preserving the original font, size, and style. It works reliably in both English and Chinese.

Character Consistency

One of the biggest strengths of Qwen-Image-Edit is its ability to maintain character consistency across multiple frames.

This makes it ideal for storyboards, comics, and ad campaigns, where the same character needs to appear repeatedly in different poses and scenes.

When paired with Bulk Image Generator, this feature scales seamlessly, enabling entire workflows to be produced in bulk.

Why Character Consistency Matters

One of the biggest frustrations in AI image generation has been character consistency.

You can create one beautiful portrait, but ask the model to repeat the same person across multiple images — and you’ll usually get 10 different faces.

For creative work like:

• Storyboards for films, ads, or animation

Base image:

A young detective in a brown trench coat, holding a notebook, cinematic lighting, city background, noir style

Scene 1:

The same detective running down a narrow alley at night, trench coat flowing, cinematic atmosphere

Scene 2:

The same detective standing in a dimly lit office, documents scattered on the desk, tense expression

Scene 3:

The same detective leaning against a wall in shadows, black-and-white noir style, pensive mood

• Comics and graphic novels

Base image:

A futuristic cyberpunk girl with neon blue hair, leather jacket, glowing neon city background, comic book style, bold ink lines

Scene 1:

The same girl running through neon-lit streets, dynamic comic panel, motion lines, determined expression

Scene 2:

The same girl crouching in the street under neon lights, comic panel style, focused and investigating

Scene 3:

The same girl in combat with a robot enemy, sparks flying, comic panel, bold action lines

• Ads & Campaigns

Base image:

A young woman in sportswear, smiling in studio lighting, clean background, fitness aesthetic

Scene 1:

The same woman running outdoors on a sunny day, park background, dynamic pose, smiling expression

Scene 2:

The same woman at the gym, holding a water bottle, natural candid look, bright indoor lighting

Scene 3:

The same woman seated cross-legged on a yoga mat, relaxed and smiling, soft natural light through the window

Bulk Image Generator: Scaling the Process

Testing Qwen Image Edit is powerful — but even better with Bulk Image Generator.

Here’s why:

Upload a base character

Write prompts for different actions or settings

Generate 10–20 consistent storyboard frames in one go

This turns Qwen’s new capability into a real workflow for filmmakers, marketers, and designers who need volume, not just one image.

Final Thoughts

Character consistency was one of the last missing pieces in AI images.

Qwen Image Edit closes that gap, while competitors like MidJourney, Runway, and Stable Diffusion still rely on partial workarounds. And with tools like Bulk Image Generator, creators can finally use it at scale — for storyboards, comics, ad campaigns, and beyond.

AI images are moving from one-off art to continuous storytelling. And now, the characters can finally stay the same.
