Flux Dev

Playground

FLUX.1 [dev] is a 12-billion-parameter rectified-flow transformer for text-to-image generation. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Generate high-quality images with FLUX.1 [dev], a versatile and powerful image generation model. Whether you need text-to-image creation, image-to-image transformation, or precise inpainting — this model delivers stunning results with exceptional detail and prompt adherence.

Why It Stands Out

• Multi-mode generation: Supports text-to-image, image-to-image, and inpainting workflows in one model.
• High resolution output: Generate images up to 1024×1024 with sharp detail and clarity.
• Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better results.
• Flexible aspect ratios: Customize width and height independently for any format.
• Batch generation: Create multiple images in a single request.
• Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results or explore variations.
• Multiple output formats: Export as JPEG or PNG based on your needs.

Parameters

How to Use

Text-to-Image:

1. Write a prompt describing the image you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
2. Set width and height for your desired aspect ratio.
3. Adjust guidance_scale and num_inference_steps as needed.
4. Click Run and download your image.

Image-to-Image:

1. Upload a source image.
2. Write a prompt describing the transformation you want.
3. Adjust the strength parameter — higher values allow more dramatic changes.
4. Click Run and download your image.

Inpainting:

1. Upload a source image and a mask image.
2. White areas in the mask will be regenerated based on your prompt.
3. Write a prompt describing what should appear in the masked region.
4. Click Run and download your image.

Best Use Cases

• Creative Art & Illustration — Generate unique artwork, concept art, and digital illustrations.
• Product Visualization — Create product mockups and lifestyle imagery.
• Marketing & Social Media — Produce eye-catching visuals for campaigns and posts.
• Photo Editing & Enhancement — Transform or repair images with inpainting.
• Design Prototyping — Quickly visualize ideas before committing to full production.

Pro Tips for Best Quality

• Be descriptive in your prompt — include style, mood, lighting, composition, and specific details.
• For image-to-image, use lower strength (0.3–0.5) to preserve more of the original, higher (0.7–0.9) for dramatic changes.
• Use inpainting with precise masks for seamless object removal or replacement.
• Fix the seed when iterating to compare the effect of different parameters.
• Generate multiple images (num_images > 1) to explore variations quickly.

Notes

• If using image URLs, ensure they are publicly accessible.
• Processing time varies based on resolution and current queue load.
• Please ensure your prompts comply with content guidelines.
