MTEdit: Packed Trajectories Beat Rollouts for Multi-Turn Image Editing
Abstract
MTEdit is a large-scale multi-turn image editing dataset using packed trajectory canvas generation to reduce visual drift, enabling improved multi-turn editing models evaluated on MTEdit-Bench.
Multi-turn image editing aims to modify an image according to a sequence of instructions, making it better aligned with human-AI collaborative creation than single-turn editing. However, constructing high-quality multi-turn training data remains challenging, as conventional sequential rollout accumulates errors and introduces visual-quality drift across editing turns. To address this challenge, we introduce MTEdit, a multi-turn image editing dataset built through a pipeline centered on packed trajectory canvas (PTC) generation. By jointly generating multiple editing states within a unified visual context, this pipeline reduces visual-quality drift across turns. Covering both step-wise and context-aware editing scenarios, MTEdit comprises 500K multi-turn image editing trajectories, with up to 8 turns and an average of 5.38 turns per trajectory, making it one of the most extensive datasets for multi-turn image editing. We further introduce MTEdit-Bench, a benchmark designed to evaluate both scenarios by assessing models' ability to follow editing instructions, maintain content consistency, resist visual-quality drift, and effectively use historical context across turns. Using MTEdit, we fine-tune Qwen-Image-Edit-Causal to obtain Qwen-Image-MTEdit. On MTEdit-Bench, we evaluate a broad range of closed-source and open-source image editing models, including Qwen-Image-MTEdit. Experimental results show that Qwen-Image-MTEdit achieves the best performance among the evaluated open-source models, demonstrating the effectiveness of MTEdit in improving models' multi-turn image editing capabilities.

Introducing MTEdit: Packed Trajectories Beat Rollouts for Multi-Turn Image Editing!
How can we build multi-turn image editing data without accumulating visual-quality drift?
Our key idea is Packed Trajectory Canvas (PTC): jointly generating multiple editing states within a shared visual context to reduce the drift introduced by sequential rollouts.
Highlights:
- ๐ 500K multi-turn editing trajectories, with up to 8 turns and an average of 5.38 turns per trajectory.
- ๐ฌ Both step-wise and context-aware editing, covering direct edits and follow-up instructions that rely on editing history.
- ๐ MTEdit-Bench evaluates instruction following, content consistency, visual-quality drift, and use of historical context.
- ๐จ Qwen-Image-MTEdit, fine-tuned on MTEdit, achieves the best performance among the evaluated open-source models on MTEdit-Bench.
We look forward to your feedback and discussion!
