# Qwen-Image-3.0

Qwen-Image-3.0 is a unified image model from Alibaba for both text-to-image generation and prompt-guided image editing. It supports one to three reference images for editing, automatic prompt expansion, negative prompts, reproducible seeded generation, and adaptive or user-specified output sizes. It supports text-to-image resolutions from 512x512 up to 2048x2048 and image editing resolutions up to 1440x1440, making it a strong fit for high-quality visual creation, controlled edits, and multi-image reference workflows.

- **ID**: `alibaba:qwen-image@3.0`
- **Status**: live
- **Creator**: Alibaba
- **Release Date**: July 20, 2026
- **Capabilities**: Text to Image, Image to Image, Edit, Checkpoint

## Compatibility & Validation

When `providerSettings.alibaba.promptExtend` is `false`, `providerSettings.alibaba.promptExtendMode` cannot be used.

- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true
- **Value**: `imageInference`

Identifier for the type of task being performed

### [taskUUID](https://runware.ai/docs/models/alibaba-qwen-image-3-0#request-taskuuid)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true
- **Format**: `UUID v4`

UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.

### [outputType](https://runware.ai/docs/models/alibaba-qwen-image-3-0#request-outputtype)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `URL`

Image output type.

**Allowed values**: `URL` `base64Data` `dataURI`

### [outputFormat](https://runware.ai/docs/models/alibaba-qwen-image-3-0#request-outputformat)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `JPG`

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

- \`JPG\`: Best for photorealistic images with smaller file sizes (no transparency).
- \`PNG\`: Lossless compression, supports high quality and transparency (alpha channel).
- \`WEBP\`: Modern format providing superior compression and transparency support.

> [!NOTE]
> \*\*Transparency\*\*: If you are using features like background removal or LayerDiffuse that require transparency, you must select a format that supports an alpha channel (e.g., \`PNG\`, \`WEBP\`, \`TIFF\`). \`JPG\` does not support transparency.

**Allowed values**: `JPG` `PNG` `WEBP`

### [outputQuality](https://runware.ai/docs/models/alibaba-qwen-image-3-0#request-outputquality)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `20`
- **Max**: `99`
- **Default**: `95`

Compression quality of the output. Higher values preserve quality but increase file size.

### [webhookURL](https://runware.ai/docs/models/alibaba-qwen-image-3-0#request-webhookurl)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `uri`

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

### [uploadEndpoint](https://runware.ai/docs/models/alibaba-qwen-image-3-0#request-uploadendpoint)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `uri`

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

**Common use cases:**

- **Cloud storage**: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
- **CDN integration**: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.

```text
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
