Qwen-Image-i2L (Image to LoRA)

Model Introduction

The i2L (Image to LoRA) model is a structure designed based on a crazy idea. The model takes an image as input and outputs a LoRA model trained on that image.

We are open-sourcing four models:

• Qwen-Image-i2L-Style

  • Introduction: This is our first model that can be considered successfully trained. Its detail preservation capability is very weak, but this actually allows it to effectively extract style information from images. Therefore, this model can be used for style transfer.
  • Image Encoder: SigLIP2, DINOv3
  • Parameters: 2.4B

• Qwen-Image-i2L-Coarse

  • Introduction: This model is a scaled-up version of Qwen-Image-i2L-Style. The LoRA it produces can preserve content information from the image, but details are not perfect. If this model is used for style transfer, it requires more input images, otherwise the model will tend to generate the content of the input images. We do not recommend using this model alone.
  • Image Encoder: SigLIP2, DINOv3, Qwen-VL (Resolution: 224 x 224)
  • Parameters: 7.9B

• Qwen-Image-i2L-Fine

  • Introduction: This model is an incremental update version of Qwen-Image-i2L-Coarse and must be used together with it. It increases the image encoding resolution of Qwen-VL to 1024 x 1024, thereby capturing more detailed information.
  • Image Encoder: SigLIP2, DINOv3, Qwen-VL (Resolution: 1024 x 1024)
  • Parameters: 7.6B

• Qwen-Image-i2L-Bias

  • Introduction: This model is a static supplementary LoRA. Since the training data distribution of Qwen-Image-i2L-Coarse and Qwen-Image-i2L-Fine differs from that of the Qwen-Image base model, the images generated by their LoRAs are not consistent with Qwen-Image's preferences. Using this LoRA makes the generated images closer to the Qwen-Image style.
  • Image Encoder: None
  • Parameters: 30M

These models still have many limitations, with significant room for improvement in generalization and detail preservation. We are open-sourcing these models to inspire more innovative research.

Showcase

Style

The Qwen-Image-i2L-Style model can be used to quickly generate style LoRAs by simply inputting a few images with a unified style. Below are our generated results; all random seeds are 0.

Style 1: Abstract Vector

Input Images:

Generated Images:

a cat	a dog	a girl

Style 2: Black & White Sketch

Input Images:

Generated Images:

a cat	a dog	a girl

Style 3: Rough Sketch

Input Images:

Generated Images:

a cat	a dog	a girl

Style 4: Blue Flat

Input Images:

Generated Images:

a cat	a dog	a girl

Coarse + Fine + Bias

The combination of Qwen-Image-i2L-Coarse, Qwen-Image-i2L-Fine, and Qwen-Image-i2L-Bias can generate LoRA weights that preserve image content and detail information. These weights can serve as initialization weights for LoRA training to accelerate convergence.
