State-of-the-Art Identity Consistency
Open-source SOTA in character identity preservation, ensuring subjects remain recognizable across complex edits
Transform photos with AI: Ghibli style, pixel art, photo colorization, outfit swap and more. Free, no sign-up, no watermark, powered by FireRed Image Edit 1.1.
Local deployment guides
Practical, source-linked notes for developers running FireRed Image Edit 1.1 locally. These independent guides point back to the official FireRed Team model files and workflows.
Install the official workflow, place the transformer, text encoder, VAE, and optional Lightning LoRA in the correct folders, then run single- or multi-image edits.

What researchers and creators say about FireRed Image Edit
“FireRed's identity consistency in v1.1 is remarkable. Face and character preservation across edits rivals closed-source solutions, and the open-source availability accelerates our research.”
Dr. Wei Zhang: “FireRed's identity consistency in v1.1 is remarkable. Face and character preservation across edits rivals closed-source solutions, and the open-source availability accelerates our research.”
Sophia Martinez: “The multi-element fusion feature is a game-changer. Combining 10+ elements with automatic cropping and stitching saves hours of manual compositing work.”
Kenji Tanaka: “Photo restoration quality is outstanding. Old family photos come back to life with natural colors and sharp details. The 4.5-second inference makes batch processing practical.”
Emily Rogers: “The bilingual understanding is seamless. I write instructions in English, my colleague writes in Chinese, and FireRed handles both with equal precision. Truly impressive.”
Liu Chenxi: “Virtual try-on with FireRed has transformed our product photography pipeline. Realistic garment fitting on different body types without expensive photo shoots.”
Anna Kowalski: “The portrait makeup capabilities cover everything from subtle beauty retouching to bold creative looks. Dozens of styles available out of the box with consistent quality.”
Raj Patel: “Training on 1.6 billion samples really shows. The model generalizes across diverse editing scenarios without fine-tuning. The Lightning 8-step mode is perfect for real-time applications.”
Yuki Nakamura: “Font style reference and text rendering are best-in-class. FireRed preserves text styles with high fidelity, which is critical for our multilingual marketing materials.”
Common questions about FireRed Image Edit
A general-purpose image editing model by Xiaohongshu's Intelligent Creation Core Technology Team, built on Diffusion Transformer architecture with Qwen2.5-VL as vision-language encoder.
Yes. FireRed Edit and FireRed-Image-Edit both refer to the FireRed Image Edit model and its editing workflow. Some searches misspell the name as firerd image edit; the correct project name is FireRed Image Edit.
10+ categories: object add/remove/replace, attribute adjustment, background editing, style transfer, text editing, photo restoration, multi-image editing, virtual try-on, portrait makeup, and multi-element fusion.
