API README
Qwen Image 3
Qwen Image 3 is the SandBase text-to-image route backed by the qwen-image-3.0-pro generation model. It is designed for visually dense compositions where layout, small text, multilingual typography, and photographic detail all need to survive the move from a written brief to a finished image.
The endpoint accepts Chinese or English prompts up to 800 characters and produces one image per request. Ten preset aspect ratios cover ultrawide, landscape, square, portrait, and vertical delivery, while an optional seed supports repeatable creative iteration.
Highlights
- Complex layout generation. Compose information-heavy designs such as newspapers, storyboards, menus, and exam-paper-style pages instead of limiting prompts to a single isolated subject.
- Small-text rendering. Preserve fine typographic detail down to approximately 10-pixel text when the prompt calls for dense labels, captions, or interface-like content.
- Multilingual typography. Render multilingual fonts for creative work that combines Chinese, English, or other written content with the visual composition.
- Photographic-level detail. Generate polished scenes with fine material, lighting, and surface detail for editorial, advertising, and product-oriented imagery.

When to Use
| Use case | Why this model fits |
|---|---|
| Newspapers, menus, and structured posters | The model is designed to organize multiple visual and textual regions in a complex layout. |
| Storyboards and instructional sheets | Combine panels, captions, and scene direction in one composition. |
| Multilingual campaign artwork | Place Chinese, English, or mixed-language typography directly in the creative brief. |
| Text-rich social assets | Ask for small labels and dense copy while selecting a delivery-ready portrait or square ratio. |
| Detailed product and editorial imagery | Request photographic lighting, materials, and surface finish in a controlled composition. |
Prompt Guide
Write the prompt as a layout brief: name the document or scene type, divide the composition into regions, specify exact visible text, and then describe typography, imagery, lighting, palette, and finish. Put quoted copy exactly as it should appear and keep competing layout instructions to a minimum.
