FireRed-Image-Edit is a general-purpose image editing model that delivers high-fidelity and consistent editing across a wide range of scenarios.

• Strong Editing Performance: FireRed-Image-Edit delivers leading open-source results with accurate instruction following, high image quality, and consistent visual coherence.
• Native Editing Capability: Built directly from text-to-image foundation model and endowed with editing capabilities.
• Text Style Preservation: Maintains text styles with high fidelity, achieving performance comparable to closed-source solutions.
• Photo Restoration: High-quality old photo restoration and enhancement.
• Multi-Image Editing: Flexible editing of multiple images such as virtual try-on.

• 2026.02.14: We released FireRed-Image-Edit-1.0 model weights. Check more details in the Model Zoo section.
• 2026.02.10: We released the Technical Report of FireRed-Image-Edit-1.0.

Some real outputs produced by FireRed-Image-Edit across genearl editing.

1. Install the latest version of diffusers

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers

2. Use the following code snippets to generate or edit images.

python inference.py \
    --input_image ./examples/edit_example.png \
    --prompt "在书本封面Python的下方，添加一行英文文字2nd Edition" \
    --output_image output_edit.png \
    --seed 43

To better validate the capabilities of our model, we propose a benchmark called REDEdit-Bench. Our main goal is to build more diverse scenarios and editing instructions that better align with human language, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of current editing models. We collected over 3,000 images from the internet, and after careful expert-designed selection, we constructed 1,673 bilingual (Chinese–English) editing pairs across 15 categories.

We provide the inference and evaluation code for REDEdit-Bench. Please refer to the redbench_infer.py and redbench_eval.py scripts in the src/tools directory for more details.

The REDEdit-Bench dataset will be available soon.
