Key features
Change one thing, keep the rest
Qwen-Image-Edit reads the source both for what it shows and for how it looks. In our tests a booth sign was rewritten in its own retro letters while the man, his jacket and the arcade stayed where they were.
Edit LoRAs for repeatable fixes
Relighting and photo-restoration LoRAs trained for Qwen-Image-Edit load from a direct link and turn a short instruction into the same kind of edit every time.

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 ($0.05).
For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.
Use cases
Old photos made new
A restoration LoRA clears scratches, dust and creases from scans of prints and brings back colour, without changing the people in them.
Signs and packaging
Rewrite the words on a sign, a label or a poster in place, keeping the original lettering style.
Wardrobe and light changes
Swap an outfit and relight the shot in one instruction, for lookbooks, character sheets and social posts.
Prompt guide & pro tips
Name what must stay
End the instruction with the things that should not change: the face, the pose, the room. The model holds what you list.
Quote new words exactly
For text edits, put the new words in quotes and describe the style to keep, such as "the same gold retro letters on red".
One source per request
This endpoint takes a single image. To put people from two or three photos together, use Qwen Image Edit 2509 LoRA.
Link the file
Paste a direct download link to the .safetensors file.
API quick start
Call the Qwen Image 1.0 LoRA API in three steps
- Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
- Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model alibaba/qwen-image-1.0-lora/edit and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
- Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.
# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(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: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "alibaba/qwen-image-1.0-lora/edit",
"input": {
"prompt": "A ceramic teapot on a linen cloth, soft window light, muted palette",
"image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp",
"output_format": "jpeg"
}
}'
# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$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 Edit 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; Largest upload: 10 MB. 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.
