🎨 dsh-qwen-paint – Create Stunning Images Fully Offline

dsh-qwen-paint is a small add-on for DeepSeek Harness that turns your written ideas into finished pictures. You type a description, and the plugin asks Qwen-Image 2.1 to draw it using your own computer's graphics card. No account, no cloud, no uploads — every bit of data stays on your own machine at the address 127.0.0.1.

What Is dsh-qwen-paint?

DeepSeek Harness is the program you already use to chat with a local AI assistant. dsh-qwen-paint adds a new ability to it: making pictures. Under the hood the plugin talks to ComfyUI, a popular free image tool that many people already run on their own computers, and asks it to run the Qwen-Image 2.1 model.

This improved edition focuses on three things ordinary users care about: it answers faster, it works with graphics cards from NVIDIA, Intel and AMD, and it behaves well on both Windows and Linux. You do not need to write a single line of code, and you never have to sign in to anything.

Because everything is local, your prompts, your pictures and your personal data never travel across the internet. The plugin literally cannot reach an outside server — it only speaks to your own computer.

✨ What You Can Do With It

• Describe a picture and get one back. Write something like “a quiet harbour at sunrise, oil painting style” and dsh-qwen-paint sends that request to your local image engine.
• Iterate quickly. The optimised version is built to spend less time waiting and more time experimenting, so you can try several wording ideas in a row.
• Use your own hardware. Whether you have an NVIDIA card, an Intel Arc card, or an AMD card with ROCm installed, the plugin is designed to fit the machine you already own.
• Stay private. Nothing is uploaded. Your images land wherever your ComfyUI setup saves them — on your own disk.
• Move between systems. The same plugin runs on Windows and Linux, and the project also tracks macOS, so switching computers is not a problem.
• Keep your workflow. If you already open ComfyUI for other tasks, dsh-qwen-paint simply joins in — no second image program to learn.

📥 Download and Run on Windows

Getting started takes a couple of minutes. Visit this link to download the application:

That page is where the current version lives, along with the notes that explain what changed in the latest release. Open it in your normal web browser, then save the application it offers you.

Before your first picture, make sure your local ComfyUI is switched on and running on the same computer. dsh-qwen-paint is a bridge between DeepSeek Harness and ComfyUI, so the two of them need to be awake at the same time. Once they are, open DeepSeek Harness, type a description, and the plugin will hand your request over to your own image engine.

If you are on Windows and have never run a download like this before, the simplest habit is to keep the downloaded file in a folder you will remember, such as your Downloads folder, and to open it from there each time.

🖥️ Works With Your Graphics Card

Image generation leans heavily on your graphics card, and no two computers are the same. This optimised release was specifically reworked so that more people can join in:

• NVIDIA cards are the most common choice and are well supported out of the box.
• Intel Arc cards are supported through Intel's own graphics drivers.
• AMD cards work through ROCm, AMD's driver package for heavier graphics work.

A more capable card simply finishes each picture sooner. A more modest card still works — it just asks you to be a little more patient between attempts.

🔒 Your Images Never Leave Your Computer

This is the part that matters most for many people. dsh-qwen-paint is written so that every connection is limited to 127.0.0.1, which is the technical name for “this computer, right here”. In plain language: the plugin talks to your own machine and to nothing else.

That means no account creation, no usage limits set by a company, no monthly bill, and no worry that a private idea you typed is sitting on somebody else's server. Your pictures are files on your own drive, and you decide what happens to them next.

🧰 What You Need

• A Windows computer (Linux is also supported, and macOS is tracked by the project).
• DeepSeek Harness installed and working, since dsh-qwen-paint plugs into it.
• ComfyUI installed and running locally on the same machine.
• The Qwen-Image 2.1 model available inside your ComfyUI setup.
• A graphics card from NVIDIA, Intel or AMD, with current drivers installed.
• Enough free disk space for the model files and for the pictures you create.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay for anything?

No. The plugin runs on your own hardware, so there is no subscription tied to it and no per-image charge.

Will my prompts be sent to the internet?

No. Every connection is confined to 127.0.0.1, which is your own computer. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Why does nothing happen when I ask for a picture?

The most common reason is that ComfyUI is not running yet, or the Qwen-Image 2.1 model has not been set up inside it. Start ComfyUI first, then try again from DeepSeek Harness.

My pictures take a long time.

Image creation is heavy work. Smaller or older graphics cards take longer, and the first picture after starting up is usually the slowest of all.

Can I use it on a laptop?

Yes, as long as the laptop has a compatible graphics card. Built-in laptop graphics will be slower than a desktop card, but the steps are the same.
