Invideo brings all of Qwen AI's models into one place, so creators can generate, edit, and turn visuals into complete video content without switching between platforms.
After hours of prompting and re-prompting, you finally generate an AI image you think is good to go. But then you take a closer look and notice something is off. So you tweak the prompt, regenerate, and adjust again. Before you know it, you’ve spent the entire evening fixing just one visual to perfection.
Sadly, this is the reality of 34% of creators using gen AI tools to create content.
But this is where Qwen AI changes the experience. Developed by the Alibaba Group, its smart AI image tools are designed to follow detailed prompts with sharp precision. Instead of fighting the output, you get cleaner text within images, human features that actually look human, and visuals that feel polished..
In this blog we break down Alibaba’s Qwen AI and explore its capabilities.
We’ll also discuss how you can use Qwen AI inside invideo to create and edit images in a unified workflow.
What is Qwen AI?
Qwen AI is a family of multimodal AI models developed by the Alibaba Group. It’s designed to handle a wide range of creative and visual tasks, such as coding, mathematical reasoning, image/video analysis, etc.
For image creation specifically, the Qwen AI app offers two text-to-image models: Qwen-Image-2.0 and Qwen-Image-2.0 Pro. Both can generate images natively at 2K resolution, but the Pro version takes it a step further with higher-fidelity output and greater control over complex compositions.
Qwen doesn’t stop at just generating images. Its image editing model, Qwen-Image-Edit, lets you make intricate changes to existing images. This includes skin retouching, relighting scenes, adding products to backgrounds, swapping scenes entirely, restoring old photos, and even generating product posters from scratch. In fact, it can handle all of this while keeping the subject's identity and details intact.
The best part? You can access all of these models directly inside invideo.
| Model | Resolution | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Qwen-Image-2.0 | 2K native | Balanced speed/quality, everyday generation |
| Qwen-Image-2.0 Pro | 2K native | Highest fidelity, complex compositions |
| Qwen-Image-Edit | Varies by task | Precise edits with identity preservation |

How to best use Qwen AI in invideo?
The Qwen AI models are available on invideo. Here’s how you can access and use them to generate and edit visuals in just three simple steps:
Step 1: Select Qwen AI image generator from “Agents & models”
Log in to or sign up on invideo, click on “Agents & models,” and select Qwen Image 2.0 or 2.0 Pro. Once done, start a new project and name it to make sure you can locate it later.
For our example, we’re creating a project called “YouTube animated series.”
Step 2: Enter Your Prompt and Generate the Visual
When writing your prompt for Qwen, be specific.
- Mention the subject, setting, mood, lighting, camera movements and angles, resolution, and any stylistic direction you want.
- If you need in-image text, clearly specify the exact wording, placement, and styling.
The more detailed your instructions, the more accurately Qwen can translate your idea into a usable visual.
For our YouTube series, we wanted to create an animated quest storyline featuring a young, desolated prince. Here’s the exact prompt we used:
Prompt: "Cinematic landscape illustration of a young boy standing on a mystical floating island at sunset, wearing simple adventure clothes with a small satchel, looking toward ancient glowing ruins in the distance, soft golden light, dramatic clouds, fantasy atmosphere, ultra-detailed environment, wide-angle shot, 2K resolution.
Include elegant, readable in-image storybook text in the sky area that says:"Long ago, on a forgotten island, a young prince began his quest.
The text should be clear, well-spaced, and styled like a fantasy novel cover, not distorted, perfectly legible, blended naturally into the sky without covering the character."
Once you’ve entered the prompt and clicked generate, the AI will take a few moments to produce the output. Here’s what we got for our prompt:
Step 3: Edit the Elements You Want To
Now, suppose you want to refine certain parts of the visual. Maybe you want to adjust the lighting, enhance the backdrop, or improve smaller details like skin texture or shadows. With Qwen inside invideo, you can make targeted edits without recreating the entire image. Invideo integrates multiple Qwen-Image-Edit models, allowing you to modify specific elements while keeping the rest of the visual intact.
To begin, select the generated output and click on “Attach to prompt.” This links the image to the editing model so you can apply controlled changes.
Next, choose the model that best fits your goal. For our example, we wanted to relight the image, so we selected the “Qwen Edit Relight” model.
Then, enter a new prompt describing the exact change you want to apply. Here’s what we used:
Prompt: "Add dramatic directional light from the left, strong rim light outlining the boy, slightly darkened background, cinematic contrast, volumetric light rays through clouds."
Once you generate the edit, Qwen updates the lighting while preserving the original composition and key details.
