ComfyUI Qwen-Image-Edit Nodes

Advanced nodes for Qwen-Image-Edit with multi-image support, more flexibility around the vision transformer (qwen2.5-vl), custom system prompts, and some other experimental things to come.

Key Changes

Latest:

• Reorganized workflows in example_workflows with single image edit, multi image edit, text to image, and a multi edit for Nunchaku models. Highly recommend using Nunchaku over the lightning loras - quality is significantly better (or better, using the full weights).

See CHANGELOG.md for full details and changelog history.

Features

Core Capabilities

• Qwen-Image-Edit-2509: Multi-image editing (1-3 optimal, up to 512 max)
• 100% DiffSynth-Studio Aligned: Verified implementation
• Advanced Power User Mode: Per-image resolution control
• Configurable Auto-Labeling: Optional "Picture X:" formatting
• Memory Optimization: VRAM budgets and weighted resolution
• Full Debug Output: Complete prompts, character counts, memory usage

Key Features

Automatic Resolution Handling

• Automatically handles mismatched dimensions between empty latent and reference images
• Pads to nearest even dimensions for model compatibility
• Works with any aspect ratio - not limited to 1024x1024

Key Nodes

QwenVLTextEncoder

Standard encoder with automatic labeling.

• Token dropping: 34 (text), 64 (image_edit)
• Multi-image support via Image Batch
• auto_label parameter for "Picture X:" control
• System prompt from Template Builder
• Full debug output with character counts
• verbose_log for console tracing of model passes

QwenVLTextEncoderAdvanced

Power user encoder with resolution control.

• All standard features plus:
• Per-image resolution weighting
• Memory budget management (max_memory_mb)
• Hero/reference modes for importance
• Custom resolution targets (vision & VAE separate)
• Choice of "Picture" vs "Image" labels
• Simplified interface (no validation_mode)
• verbose_log for console tracing of model passes

QwenTemplateBuilder

System prompt templates.

• DiffSynth-Studio templates included
• custom_system override for any template
• show_all_prompts mode to view options

Helper Nodes

• QwenVLEmptyLatent: Creates 16-channel empty latents
• QwenVLImageToLatent: Converts images to 16-channel latents
• QwenTemplateConnector: Connects template builder to encoder (optional)
• QwenDebugController: Comprehensive debugging and profiling system

Experimental Nodes (Available but Low Priority)

• QwenSpatialTokenGenerator: Visual editor for spatial tokens that don't seem to do much of anything right now
• QwenEliGenEntityControl: Entity-level mask control
• QwenEliGenMaskPainter: Simple mask creation
• QwenTokenDebugger: Debug token processing
• QwenTokenAnalyzer: Analyze tokenization

Workflows

Text-to-Image

QwenTemplateBuilder → QwenVLTextEncoder → KSampler
                  ↘ (system_prompt)

Single Image Edit

LoadImage → QwenVLTextEncoder (edit_image) → KSampler
QwenTemplateBuilder → QwenVLTextEncoder (system_prompt)

Multi-Image Edit (2509)

LoadImage (×N) → Image Batch → QwenVLTextEncoder → KSampler
QwenTemplateBuilder → QwenVLTextEncoder (system_prompt)

Use prompts like: "Combine the person from Picture 1 with the background from Picture 2"

Example Workflows

Located in example_workflows/:

• qwen_text_to_image_2509.json - Basic text-to-image with template
• qwen_multi_image_2509_simplified.json - Multi-image editing workflow

Both include comprehensive MarkdownNote documentation.

Key Settings

Multi-Image Requirements

• Connect multiple images to Image Batch node (from KJNodes pack)
• Reference images with "Picture 1", "Picture 2" in prompts
• Images should ideally have similar dimensions for best results

Image Ordering

Images are numbered based on connection order to Image Batch:

• image_1 input → "Picture 1" in prompts
• image_2 input → "Picture 2" in prompts
• image_3 input → "Picture 3" in prompts

Example: "Take the old man from Picture 1 and place him in Picture 2"

See MULTI_IMAGE_ORDERING.md for detailed guide.

Template System

• Connect Template Builder prompt output to Encoder text input
• Connect Template Builder system_prompt output to Encoder system_prompt input
• Use custom_system field to override any template's system prompt

Troubleshooting

System prompt appearing in images?

• Verify Template Builder system_prompt output connects to Encoder system_prompt input
• Check workflow shows proper connection (should be Link 22 in example workflows)
• Enable debug_mode to see what's being tokenized

Multi-image not working?

• Use "Picture 1", "Picture 2" references in prompts
• Verify Image Batch node connection to edit_image input
• Enable debug_mode to see Picture formatting

Dimension mismatch errors?

• Ensure all images have similar dimensions before batching
• Use ComfyUI's Image Scale node if needed to match dimensions

Status

Production Ready:

• Text-to-image generation
• Single and multi-image editing
• Template system with custom overrides
• Dimension-aware processing

Experimental (Low Priority):

• Spatial token generation (QwenSpatialTokenGenerator - effectiveness unclear)
• Entity control nodes (QwenEliGenEntityControl - untested with current models)
• Token debugging tools (QwenTokenDebugger, QwenTokenAnalyzer)

Latest Updates (v2.5):

• Advanced encoder for power users with resolution control
• Configurable auto-labeling (can now be disabled)
• Memory optimization for limited VRAM
• Hero/reference image weighting
• Comprehensive test guide with 10 configurations

See ADVANCED_ENCODER_TEST_GUIDE.md for testing configurations.
