Key Features of the Qwen Image 3.0 API

What Alibaba's Qwen-Image-3.0 adds over 2.0, and what you can set through the API

Long Prompts for Complex Layouts

Qwen-Image-3.0 accepts prompts of up to about 4.5K tokens, enough to describe a multi-panel infographic, a newspaper page or a storyboard in a single request.

Readable Small Text

Alibaba reports legible text down to about 10px, so labels, captions and fine print stay readable instead of turning into visual noise.

Text in 12 Languages

According to Alibaba, Qwen Image 3.0 renders text natively in 12 languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and Spanish, which suits localized posters and product visuals.

Qwen Image Edit API with 1-3 References

Pass 1-3 image_urls with an edit instruction to change text on a sign, add annotations or restyle a scene while keeping the rest of the image.

1K or 2K, Seven Ratios or Exact Pixels

Choose 1K or 2K with 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2 or 2:3, or send exact pixels from 512 to 2048 per side.

1-6 Images per Request

Set n from 1 to 6 to compare variations of the same prompt in one task.

Optional Prompt Rewriting

Turn on prompt_extend with direct mode for generation or editing, or agent mode for a more aggressive rewrite in text-to-image.

Asynchronous Tasks, 72-Hour Results

Submit a task, poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id}, and download the image URLs. Results are kept for 72 hours and failed tasks are refunded.

What to Build with Qwen Image 3.0

Qwen Image 3.0 fits work where the text and the layout matter as much as the picture.

Posters and Campaign Visuals

Create posters with clear headlines and readable body text, then localize them by changing the language in the prompt.

Infographics and Slides

Describe charts, labels and multi-section layouts in one long prompt for explainer graphics and presentation visuals.

Menus and Product Sheets

Draft menus, catalogs and product cards. For very dense pages, compare the same prompt on Qwen Image 3.0 Pro.

UI and Screen Mockups

Generate realistic web, app and livestream interface mockups for prototypes and pitch decks.

Image Editing

Edit text on signs, add handwritten notes or annotations, or restore missing parts of an image from 1-3 references.

Product Integrations

Add text-to-image and editing to your app with one API key, asynchronous tasks and pay-per-image billing.

Qwen Image 3.0 API Example: Text to Image and Image Editing

Call qwen-image-3.0 on APIMart with one POST request. Generation is asynchronous: submit a task, then poll the task endpoint for the image URLs.

1
Authenticate Qwen Image API requests
Save your key in the APIMART_API_KEY environment variable and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> on every request.
2
Submit a Qwen Image 3.0 task
POST /v1/images/generations with model qwen-image-3.0, your prompt, size and resolution. Add image_urls to edit an image. The response returns a task_id. The example.com URL is a placeholder.
3
Get the Qwen Image 3.0 result
Send GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} until status is completed, then read the image URLs from data.result.images. Results are kept for 72 hours, so download the images you want to keep. Failed tasks are refunded.
See the Qwen Image 3.0 API reference for every parameter and response field.

Qwen Image 3.0 API FAQ

Answers about Qwen Image 3.0, its versions, pricing and API access on APIMart.

What is Qwen Image 3.0?

Qwen-Image-3.0 is the third-generation image model in Alibaba's Qwen-Image series; the official Qwen blog announced it on July 20, 2026. It generates and edits images and accepts prompts of about 4.5K tokens. According to Alibaba, it renders legible text down to about 10px and supports text in 12 languages. On APIMart its model ID is qwen-image-3.0.

What is the Qwen Image API, and which model should I use?

The Qwen Image API on APIMart gives one endpoint, /v1/images/generations, for four Qwen image models: Qwen Image 3.0 for most new work, Qwen Image 3.0 Pro for newspapers, storyboards, menus and other dense layouts, and Qwen Image 2.0 and 2.0 Pro for existing 2.0 workflows. Start with Qwen Image 3.0 and switch the model field to compare.

What is the difference between Qwen Image 3.0 and Qwen Image 3.0 Pro?

Both take the same parameters, 1K or 2K output, 1-6 images and 1-3 reference images. qwen-image-3.0 follows instructions clearly and renders text reliably at a lower price, and 1K and 2K cost the same. qwen-image-3.0-pro adds richer content for dense text and layouts; its 2K price is double its 1K price.

What changed from Qwen Image 2.0 to 3.0?

Qwen Image 3.0 accepts much longer prompts (about 4.5K tokens, compared with 800 characters for 2.0 on APIMart) and adds prompt_extend_mode. Alibaba also says it renders smaller text and supports 12 languages. The model IDs are not interchangeable, so set qwen-image-3.0 explicitly. The standard 3.0 and 2.0 models cost almost the same per image.

How much does the Qwen Image 3.0 API cost?

At Gold member rates, Qwen Image 3.0 costs about $0.0206 per image at both 1K and 2K, and each reference image adds about $0.0023 per request (November 2026). Platinum and Diamond members pay less, up to 28% off. Failed tasks are refunded. See the pricing table on this page for current rates.

Is the Qwen Image 3.0 API free?

No. APIMart has no free quota or free trial for the Qwen Image 3.0 API. You pay per generated image from your balance, with no subscription, and failed tasks are refunded.

Is Qwen Image 3.0 open source? Can I run it locally?

As of November 2026, Alibaba has not released Qwen-Image-3.0 weights, so it is available through APIs only and cannot be downloaded or run locally. Alibaba's open-weight image models include Qwen-Image-2.1 and the Qwen-Image-Edit series, which APIMart does not offer.

Can I use Qwen Image 3.0 as a Qwen image edit API?

Yes. Send 1-3 reference images in image_urls with an edit instruction as the prompt. Images can be public URLs or base64 data URLs up to 10MB each. Prompt rewriting in agent mode works only for text-to-image; use direct mode when editing.

Which sizes and resolutions does Qwen Image 3.0 support?

Choose 1K or 2K with 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2 or 2:3; for example, 16:9 is 1280x720 at 1K and 2048x1152 at 2K. You can also send exact pixels from 512 to 2048 per side with a ratio between 1:8 and 8:1. An exact size above 2.25M pixels is billed as 2K.

Which languages can Qwen Image 3.0 write in images?

Alibaba says Qwen-Image-3.0 renders text natively in 12 languages, with examples in Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and Spanish. Put the exact text in quotes in your prompt and check the result before publishing.

What do prompt_extend and prompt_extend_mode do?

prompt_extend is off by default for predictable results. Set it to true to let the model rewrite your prompt with more detail. prompt_extend_mode direct works for generation and editing; agent rewrites more aggressively and works only for text-to-image.

How do I get a Qwen Image 3.0 API key?

Sign up for APIMart, open the API Keys page in your dashboard and create a key. The same key calls the Qwen Image 3.0 API and every other model on the platform, with pay-as-you-go billing and no subscription.

How do I call the Qwen Image 3.0 API and get the result?

POST /v1/images/generations with model qwen-image-3.0 and your prompt, then poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} every few seconds until status is completed. Read the image URLs from data.result.images and download them within 72 hours.

Are Qwen Image 3, QwenImage3 and qwen-image-3.0 the same model?

Yes. Qwen-Image-3.0 is Alibaba's official name; Qwen Image 3, QwenImage3 and Qwen3 Image are common ways to search for it, and qwen-image-3.0 is the model ID you send to the API. It is an image model, separate from the Qwen3.8 chat models on the Qwen API page. Qwen Image 3.0 Pro is a different model with the ID qwen-image-3.0-pro.
