Qwen Image 2512 is the latest (December 2025) text-to-image model from the Qwen family. It uses a vision-language model (Qwen2.5-VL) as the text encoder and generates high-quality images from natural language prompts. Two workflow approaches:
| Component | Node | Model | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|-------|
| UNET | UNETLoader | qwen_image_2512_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors | FP8, not currently installed — download if needed |
| CLIP | CLIPLoader (type=qwen_image) | qwen_2.5_vl_7b_fp8_scaled.safetensors | Shared across all Qwen models, in clip/ |
| VAE | VAELoader | qwen_image_vae.safetensors | Qwen-specific VAE (242MB) |
| Model | Path | Focus |
|-------|------|-------|
| qwenImageEditRemix_v10 | diffusion_models/qwenImageEditRemix_v10.safetensors | General-purpose remix |
| qwenUltimateRealism_v11 | UNETLoader path | Product photography, hyper-realistic |
| copaxTimeless | UNETLoader path | Ultra-realistic portraits |
| qwnImageEdit_v16Bf16 | UNETLoader path | Abliterated (uncensored) |

| Preset | Steps | CFG | Sampler | Scheduler | Denoise | LoRA | Notes |
|--------|-------|-----|---------|-----------|---------|------|-------|
| Lightning 4-step | 4 | 1.0 | euler | simple | 1.0 | Lightning-4steps | Fastest, good quality |

| Lightning character | 8 | 2.5 | euler | simple | 1.0 | Lightning-8steps | Best for portraits |
| Standard | 50 | 4.0 | euler | simple | 1.0 | none | Official ComfyUI |

For standard (non-lightning) presets, apply flow matching shift:
{
"class_type": "ModelSamplingAuraFlow",
"inputs": { "model": ["<unet_or_lora>", 0], "shift": 3.1 }
}
Shift=3.1 is the standard value for Qwen Image. Not needed with lightning LoRA (baked into the distillation).
Qwen operates at ~1.6 megapixels natively:
| Aspect | Resolution | Use Case |
|--------|-----------|----------|
| Square | 1328x1328 | General |
| Portrait 3:4 | 1104x1472 | Portraits |
| Portrait 2:3 | 1056x1584 | |
| Portrait 9:16 | 928x1664 | Phone format |
| Landscape 4:3 | 1472x1104 | Landscape scenes |
| Landscape 3:2 | 1584x1056 | |
| Landscape 16:9 | 1664x928 | Widescreen |
| Ultra portrait | 1536x2048 | Tall format |
| Video-ready | 832x480 | For WAN 2.2 FLF pipeline |
The QwenImageIntegratedKSampler custom node handles model patching, conditioning, sampling, and output in a single node. Simplest workflow — just 4 nodes for model loading + 1 integrated sampler + 1 save.

More flexible — allows inserting additional processing nodes between stages.

}
Always use ConditioningZeroOut for Qwen txt2img:
{
"class_type": "ConditioningZeroOut",
"inputs": { "conditioning": ["<positive_cond>", 0] }
}
Or use an empty string in CLIPTextEncode — but ZeroOut is more explicit and reliable.
For ControlNet support with Qwen models. Patches the model with a DiffSynth control signal:
Required Inputs:
- model: MODEL
- model_patch: MODEL_PATCH (from DiffSynth ControlNet loader)
- vae: VAE
- image: IMAGE (control image)
- strength: FLOAT (default 1.0)
Optional:
- mask: MASK
Outputs:
[0] MODEL (patched)
DiffSynth ControlNets support: canny, depth, inpaint only (NOT pose).

Natural language, 1–3 sentences. Be descriptive:
Good: "Professional portrait of an Asian woman in her late 20s, wearing a cream linen blazer at a Tokyo rooftop café during golden hour, holding a matcha latte, editorial fashion photography, shot on Sony A7III 85mm f/1.4"
Bad: "1girl, cafe, blazer, matcha"
Tips:
| Config | VRAM | Notes |
|--------|------|-------|
| FP8 UNET + fp8 CLIP + VAE | ~17-18GB | Fits comfortably on RTX 4090 |
| bf16 UNET (edit model) | ~10GB UNET + 7GB CLIP | Also fits well |
