Flux 2 Pro vs QWEN Image 2.0 Pro
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Flux 2 Pro costs 1.5 credits at its default 1 megapixel tier and edited our reference photo in about 26 seconds. QWEN Image 2.0 Pro costs a flat 2 credits and took about 32 seconds on the identical edit. Both actually took the reference photo as input, so this is a real identity-preserving edit on each side, not a text-only guess. We sent both the same photo and the same instruction on August 26, 2026.

QWEN Image 2.0 Pro
Price, speed, and what each edit actually added
Both are genuine reference-photo edits
Flux 2 Pro and QWEN Image 2.0 Pro both accept an image alongside the prompt and edit from it, not just describe from words. We attached the same character-sheet photo, a woman with red curly hair, round glasses, a denim jacket and a yellow shirt, to both requests.
Price
Flux 2 Pro starts at 1.5 credits at its default 1 megapixel tier and climbs to 2 credits at 2 or 4 megapixels. QWEN Image 2.0 Pro is a flat 2 credits regardless of the output size you pick, so Flux 2 Pro is cheaper unless you push it to its top resolution tier, where the two land even.
Measured speed
Flux 2 Pro finished in about 26 seconds. QWEN Image 2.0 Pro took about 32 seconds on the identical prompt and reference photo. Both numbers move with queue load.
What Flux 2 Pro's edit looked like
A 1008 by 1008 square: the woman riding through a rain-streaked crosswalk, red curly hair, round glasses, denim jacket and yellow shirt all matching the reference, a taxi and a parked car placed in the background traffic, and visible diagonal rain streaks the reference photo did not have.
What QWEN Image 2.0 Pro's edit looked like
A 2048 by 2048 square, the model's default output size: the same woman standing astride the bike mid-crosswalk, hair, glasses, jacket and shirt all recognizable from the reference, set against a full brick-lined street with two rows of neon shop signs, umbrellas, parked cars and pedestrians filling out a busier scene than Flux 2 Pro's.
Reference image limits
Flux 2 Pro accepts up to 10 reference images per request. QWEN Image 2.0 Pro caps at 3, routed internally through its dedicated edit endpoint whenever a reference image is supplied.
Same reference photo, same instruction, two edit-capable models. Flux 2 Pro: 1.5 credits, about 26 seconds. QWEN Image 2.0 Pro: 2 credits, about 32 seconds.
How It Works
How we ran the comparison, so you can repeat it:
Attach the same reference photo to both
The same character-sheet photo, sent as an image reference to flux-2-pro and to qwen-image-2.0-pro alongside the identical scene-placement instruction.
Bracket each request with a timestamp
We recorded the start of each submission and the moment the finished file arrived. Flux 2 Pro took about 26 seconds; QWEN Image 2.0 Pro took about 32 seconds.
Compare the actual files, not just the numbers
We downloaded both outputs and looked at how much extra scene each model built around the same preserved subject.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Flux 2 Pro vs QWEN Image 2.0 Pro
Can both of these edit an existing photo?
Yes. Both took our reference photo, a woman with red curly hair, round glasses, a denim jacket and a yellow shirt, and edited it into the new scene rather than generating a fresh person from text.
Which is cheaper, Flux 2 Pro or QWEN Image 2.0 Pro?
Flux 2 Pro, at 1.5 credits for its default 1 megapixel tier against QWEN Image 2.0 Pro's flat 2 credits. Push Flux 2 Pro to 2 or 4 megapixels and the two land at the same 2 credits.
Which one is faster?
Flux 2 Pro, in our test. It returned the edit in about 26 seconds against about 32 seconds for QWEN Image 2.0 Pro on the same prompt and reference photo.
How many reference images can each one take?
Flux 2 Pro accepts up to 10 in one request. QWEN Image 2.0 Pro accepts up to 3, and supplying any turns the request into an edit call internally.
Which one should I pick for a busier background?
QWEN Image 2.0 Pro, based on our test. It filled its default 2048x2048 frame with more street detail: extra pedestrians, umbrellas and shop signs. Flux 2 Pro kept a tighter, sparser scene at 1008x1008.
How do I call either one from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/flux-2-pro/run or /api/v1/models/qwen-image-2.0-pro/run with the same API key, an image_urls or reference_images field, and the prompt.
