# Qwen Image 2.1 Text to Image

> Generate one image with Qwen Image 2.1 using a text prompt.

<Tip>
  1. Submit the request with `VIDGO_API_KEY`. A `task_id` is returned. Keep it until the task reaches `finished` or `failed`.
  2. Use [Query Task Status](/api-manual/task-management/status) to retrieve the result. If you provide a `callback_url`, Vidgo sends the result to your [webhook](/api-manual/task-management/webhooks) when the task finishes or fails.
</Tip>

# Qwen Image 2.1 Text to Image

## Usage Guide

Generate one image with Qwen Image 2.1 using a text prompt.

* Set `model` to `alibaba/qwen-image-2.1/text-to-image`.
* Place `model` and optional `callback_url` at the request root; place workflow parameters inside `input`.
* Each request produces one image.
* For reference-image editing, use [Image Edit](/api-manual/image-series/qwen-image-2-1-edit) with `model=alibaba/qwen-image-2.1/edit`.

## Parameter Details

* `prompt` is required. Supply non-blank text of up to 5,000 characters.
* `size` defaults to `1:1`.
* A transparent background requires `output_format=png` or `webp`.

## Developer Notes

* Submission is asynchronous. Use the task status endpoint or a completion webhook to retrieve the final image.
* Billing is per output image and depends on `resolution`. Text-to-image and editing use the same rate at each tier.
* Credits are deducted on submission and refunded if the task fails.

## Optional parameters

* `size` (string): Output aspect ratio. Accepted values: `1:1`, `4:3`, `3:4`, `3:2`, `2:3`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `21:9`, `9:21`. Default: `1:1`.
* `resolution` (string): Output resolution tier. Accepted values: `1K`, `2K`. Default: `1K`.
* `output_format` (string): Output image format. Transparent output requires PNG or WebP. Accepted values: `png`, `jpeg`, `webp`. Default: `png`.
* `enable_safety_checker` (boolean): Enable content safety checking. Default: `true`.
* `background` (string): Background mode. Transparent output requires PNG or WebP. Accepted values: `opaque`, `transparent`. Default: `opaque`.
* `prompt_extend` (boolean): Enhance the prompt before generation. Default: `true`.
* `seed` (integer): Optional random seed. Omit to use a random seed.
