Introduction
Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA Text to image makes one image from a written prompt on Alibaba's original Qwen-Image, a 20-billion-parameter open model released in August 2025, with up to three of your own LoRA files loaded.

Key features
Lettering you can read
Alibaba built Qwen-Image around text rendering. In our tests a quoted life-ring name came out letter for letter, so labels, signs and posters can be written straight into the prompt.
Style LoRAs that take hold
Vintage photography, flat-colour and pixel-art LoRAs each changed the whole look at scale 1, and a LoRA trained for the later Qwen-Image-2512 worked here as well.
Request parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
aspect_ratio | No | The shape of the frame: wide, square or tall. 1:1 · 16:9 · 9:16 · 4:3 · 3:4 · 3:2 · 2:3 · 21:9 · 9:21 · Default: 1:1 |
loras | No | Load your own LoRA files to lock in a style or character. Default: [] |
output_format | No | File type of the result. jpeg · png · webp · Default: jpeg |
prompt | Yes | Describe the subject, composition and lighting. If a LoRA has a trigger word, put it first. |
seed | No | Reuse the same number to get a repeatable result. ≥ 0 · ≤ 2147483647 |
Pricing
Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.
| Option | Credits per image | ≈ USD |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 4.5 | $0.045 |
Each task is rounded up to whole credits, so one run at the lowest tier costs 5 credits per image ($0.05).
For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.
Use cases
Series in one look
Pin a style LoRA at a fixed scale and keep the seed to give a set of covers, panels or game scenes the same finish.
Scenes with words in them
Boat names, shop signs, tickets and posters render legibly, so a poster mock-up or a story frame needs no text pass afterwards.
Prompt guide & pro tips
Trigger words first
Most LoRA cards name a trigger phrase, such as "Pixel Art" or "flat color, no lineart". Put it at the start of the prompt.
Write the light
Qwen-Image follows long prompts. Naming two light sources and their colours, such as a warm bulb against storm blue, gives a far more cinematic frame than a single adjective.
Keep scales between 0.5 and 1.5
0.5 is a light touch and 1 is the intended strength. Higher values are allowed up to 4 but rarely help.

API quick start
Call the Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA API in three steps
- Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
- Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model alibaba/qwen-image-1.0-lora/text-to-image and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
- Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.
# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "alibaba/qwen-image-1.0-lora/text-to-image",
"input": {
"prompt": "A ceramic teapot on a linen cloth, soft window light, muted palette",
"aspect_ratio": "1:1",
"output_format": "jpeg"
}
}'
# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA API questions
How much does the Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA API cost?
Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA starts at 5 credits ($0.05) per image with Create Image, its cheapest task. Credits are the same as on the website (1 credit = $0.01), new accounts get 30 free credits, and failed tasks are refunded.
What is the model name for Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA in the API?
Put alibaba/qwen-image-1.0-lora/text-to-image for Create Image; alibaba/qwen-image-1.0-lora/edit for Edit Image in the model field of POST /jobs/createTask.
How is this different from Qwen Image 2512 LoRA?
It runs the first Qwen-Image generation from August 2025: Qwen-Image for text-to-image and the original Qwen-Image-Edit, which takes one source image, for editing. Qwen Image 2512 LoRA runs the December releases. They share one architecture, so many LoRAs load on both; pick the family your LoRA was trained for.
Do LoRAs from other Qwen-Image versions work?
They load and change the image. A pixel-art LoRA trained for Qwen-Image-2512 gave a clean pixel-art result on text-to-image, and edit LoRAs made for Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 changed edits only slightly. Results vary by LoRA, so test one image first.
What happens with a LoRA for a different model?
It is not rejected, but it does not work: a FLUX LoRA left an edit unchanged and only shifted small details in a text-to-image result, with none of its style. Check the base named on the LoRA card.
Can I use Civitai LoRAs?
Yes. Civitai download links loaded in our tests. Hugging Face links to gated repositories fail, because the file cannot be fetched without a login.
What are the limits of the Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA API?
Aspect ratios: 1:1 · 16:9 · 9:16 · 4:3 · 3:4 · 3:2 +3; Prompt length (characters): 5,000. Requests outside these limits are rejected before anything is charged.
Can I try Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA without writing code?
Yes. The Playground runs Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA on your PopNow credits, needs no API key, and shows the matching code for every run.
