About

It can combine several photos in one edit, such as a person with a product or a scene. Besides rewriting the words in a picture, it can change their font, colour and material.

Good to know

Qwen's team used it to make emoji packs of their capybara mascot, themed on personality types.

Writing text was taught in stages, from simple words up to whole paragraphs.

Combining photos was added later by training it further on images joined together.
