Atelier
Atelier
Describe a picture and Atelier makes it with Qwen-Image-2.1. Then edit it, zoom out, cut it out, and keep one private gallery on your iPhone and Mac.

How it works
A sentence in. A picture out.
One screen: the prompt, a few chips and a Generate button. The line under the controls tells you the exact size, the steps and roughly how long it will take.
Describe it
Type what you want to see, or pick a photo and let Atelier write the prompt from it.
Improve it, if you like
Qwen-Image-2.1 does far better with a long, concrete description than a few words. Improve turns a short idea into one in a tap, using the same instructions Qwen ships for its own prompt enhancer.
Pick a shape and quality, then Generate
Seven shapes from 9:16 to 16:9. Draft, Standard or Max, and one, two or four pictures per job.
Keep working on it
Edit, zoom out, zoom in, cut out or make it look more real. Every change is a new picture, and the original stays.
Features
More than a prompt box.
Everything below is in the app today, explained in its own “How Atelier works” guide.
Improve and Refine
Improve writes the long prompt for you. Refine is a back-and-forth: ask for one change at a time and pick the version you like.
Photo to prompt
Pick a photo and Atelier writes a prompt from it. If the photo shows a person, they are added as Person too, so the face carries over.
Person, Product, Reference
Add up to ten images, in order. Person keeps that face and build, Product keeps that object exactly, and Reference guides the look.
Edit this and Draw on
Turn the picture on stage into an input and type the change. Circle or scribble on a region to point at it, then say what to do there.
Zoom out and Zoom in
Zoom out keeps the person, outfit and pose exactly and paints more of the scene around them. Zoom in moves closer and re-renders the detail.
More real
Looks at the picture, finds what gives it away as AI-made, and re-renders it lightly to fix that, keeping the composition and likeness.
Cut out and Transparent
Cut out lifts the subject of an image onto a transparent background. Transparent makes a brand-new picture with no background. The PNG keeps it.
Avoid and Text
List what to keep out of the picture, or the exact words to spell out on a sign or label. Each is used only while its chip is on.
History, Details, Favourites
Reload any past prompt. Details shows the exact prompt, size, steps, seed and time, with Lock seed for fair comparisons. Star the keepers.
iPhone and Mac
Fast in the cloud. Free on your Mac.
Both apps run Qwen-Image-2.1 on a cloud GPU by default. The GPU only runs while it works, so there is nothing to switch off. The first picture after a pause adds about 100 seconds while it loads the model.
iPhone
Cloud, anywhere
The phone talks to the cloud GPU directly over HTTPS. It does not need your Mac awake or the same Wi-Fi, and it works on cellular. A running job shows its progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

Mac
Cloud, or This Mac
Use the same cloud engine, or switch to This Mac: a 4-bit Qwen-Image-2.1 that runs locally with MLX. It is free and offline, but takes minutes and makes 512-pixel text-to-image pictures.

Your account
One gallery, everywhere, only yours.
Sign in on each device and your pictures, favourites and settings sync privately. Syncing never wakes a GPU. Read the privacy policy.
- Sign in your way. Apple, email and password, or an emailed code.
- See your devices. Every signed-in device with recent activity. Sign out any you don't recognise.
- Know when it's you. A new sign in on another device sends you a notification.
- Delete for real. Deleting a picture removes it here and from your synced gallery.
