Readme
🔥 FireRed-Image-Edit
FireRed-Image-Edit is a state-of-the-art, general-purpose image editing model designed for high-fidelity, instruction-following edits across diverse real-world scenarios. It delivers strong visual consistency, accurate text rendering, and robust bilingual (English–Chinese) understanding.
Built from a powerful text-to-image foundation model and extended with native editing capabilities, FireRed-Image-Edit achieves leading performance among open-source image editing models on multiple public benchmarks.
✨ What It Can Do
FireRed-Image-Edit supports a wide range of editing tasks:
- Add new objects or elements
- Adjust attributes (color, lighting, expression, etc.)
- Replace specific objects
- Remove unwanted elements
- Background editing and scene changes
- Style transfer and stylization
- Text editing and style-preserving text replacement
- Photo restoration and enhancement
- Multi-image editing (e.g., virtual try-on scenarios)
The model is designed to preserve identity, composition, and fine details while applying precise, instruction-driven modifications.
🏆 Performance
FireRed-Image-Edit achieves leading results among open-source models on:
- ImgEdit benchmark
- GEdit (official public benchmark)
- REDEdit-Bench (CN & EN) — a large-scale bilingual benchmark covering 15 categories and 1,673 expert-designed editing pairs.
Across general editing dimensions such as Add, Adjust, Replace, Remove, Stylize, and Text editing, FireRed-Image-Edit consistently ranks at or near the top among open-source models.
🌍 Bilingual Editing (English & Chinese)
The model natively supports both:
- 🇺🇸 English instructions
- 🇨🇳 Chinese instructions
It demonstrates strong cross-lingual understanding and consistent performance across both languages.
Example prompt (Chinese):
