Which option should I pick?
  • 1K for drafts and web thumbnails, 2K for print or crops — 1K is ~46% cheaper per image.
  • You're billed per output image — a 2K poster is $0.078.
  • Reference images are billed separately at $0.003 each — keep the count tight for bulk runs.
  • Aspect ratio doesn't change the price — only the resolution tier does. Pick the ratio for the layout, 1K/2K for the budget.

Qwen Image 3.0 API

Send a POST request to /api/v1/runs with your API key and input. Generation runs asynchronously — poll the run ID for status, then read the output URLs when it succeeds.
