Flux Redux Dev
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!FLUX.1 Redux [dev] adapts FLUX.1 base models to generate subtle image variations and easy image-to-image restyling for refinement. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
FLUX Redux Dev is a versatile image variation model that generates new images inspired by your source image. Upload an image and the model creates variations that capture the essence of your original while exploring new creative possibilities.
Why It Stands Out
- Image-driven generation: Create variations based on your source image’s style, composition, and content.
- Flexible resolution: Customize width and height independently for any aspect ratio.
- Batch generation: Create multiple variations in a single request.
- Multiple output formats: Export as JPEG or PNG based on your needs.
- Fine-tuned control: Adjust guidance scale and inference steps for precise results.
- Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Source image for variation (upload or public URL). |
| width | No | Output width in pixels (default: 1024). |
| height | No | Output height in pixels (default: 1024). |
| num_inference_steps | No | Quality/speed trade-off (default: 28). |
| guidance_scale | No | Variation strength (default: 3.5). |
| num_images | No | Number of images to generate (default: 1). |
| seed | No | Set for reproducibility; -1 for random. |
| output_format | No | Output format: jpeg or png (default: jpeg). |
| enable_base64_output | No | Return base64 string instead of URL (API only). |
| enable_sync_mode | No | Wait for result before returning response (API only). |
How to Use
- Upload your source image — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
- Set dimensions — adjust width and height for your desired output size.
- Adjust parameters (optional) — fine-tune guidance scale and inference steps.
- Set num_images — generate multiple variations at once.
- Click Run and download your image variations.
Best Use Cases
- Creative Exploration — Generate multiple variations of a concept to explore possibilities.
- Design Iteration — Create variations of designs for A/B testing or client options.
- Art Direction — Explore different interpretations of a visual concept.
- Content Diversification — Generate multiple unique images from a single source.
- Style Exploration — Discover new visual directions based on existing images.

Pro Tips for Best Quality
- The model generates variations based purely on the source image’s visual content.
- Use lower guidance scale (2–3) for subtle variations closer to the original.
- Use higher guidance scale (4–5) for more dramatic departures from the source.
- Generate multiple images (num_images > 1) to explore the variation space.
- Fix the seed when adjusting other parameters to isolate their effect.
- Use PNG format when you need higher quality or transparency support.
Notes
- Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
- Processing time varies based on resolution and current queue load.
- Please ensure your content complies with usage guidelines.

Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| image | string | Yes | - | The URL of the image to generate an image from. | |
| size | string | No | 1024*1024 | - | The size of the generated media in pixels (width*height). |
| num_inference_steps | integer | No | 28 | 1 ~ 50 | The number of inference steps to perform. |
| guidance_scale | number | No | 3.5 | 1 ~ 20 | The guidance scale to use for the generation. |
| num_images | integer | No | 1 | 1 ~ 4 | The number of images to generate. |
| seed | integer | No | -1 | - | The random seed to use for the generation. |
| output_format | string | No | jpeg | jpeg, png, webp | The format of the output image. |
| enable_base64_output | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN. |
| enable_sync_mode | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models. |
