Features
WaveSpeedAI FLUX.2 Flash Edit Image-to-Image
FLUX.2 Flash Edit is a fast, cost-efficient image-to-image editing model for prompt-driven transformations. Give it one or more input images plus a clear instruction, and it will apply targeted edits while keeping the overall composition stable—great for high-throughput creative pipelines.
It’s best suited for quick style shifts, background tweaks, light retouching, and generating multiple variations for iteration or A/B testing.
Key capabilities
-
Ultra-fast prompt-driven editing Apply natural-language edit instructions with low latency for rapid iteration.
-
Composition-stable transformations Keeps layout and key identity cues stable while applying targeted changes.
-
Multi-image editing (up to 4 inputs) Accepts multiple input image URLs to guide the edit and/or provide references.
-
Production-friendly controls Deterministic results with
seed, plus API-only options for synchronous responses and base64 outputs. -
Size control for common creative formats Generate outputs sized for banners, posters, social crops, and product imagery.
Parameters and how to use
- prompt: (required) The positive prompt describing what to change and what to preserve.
- images: (required) Array of input image URLs for editing (1–4 items).
- size: Output size as a string in
width*heightpixels (each dimension 256–1536). - seed: Random seed (
-1for random; fixed value for repeatability). - enable_base64_output: If
true, returns the output as a base64 string instead of a URL (API-only). - enable_sync_mode: If
true, waits for generation to finish and returns the result in the same response (API-only).
Prompt
Write prompts like an editor’s brief: what to change, what to keep, and what “done” looks like.
Tips that work well for FLUX.2 Flash Edit:
- Start with the exact change: “replace the background with…”, “restyle as…”, “remove…”, “retouch…”
- Explicitly preserve what matters: “keep the same face, pose, framing, and logo text.”
- Keep edits scoped. If the output drifts, reduce the number of simultaneous changes and iterate in smaller steps.
Media (Images)
imagesmust be 1–4 URLs pointing to your input images.- If your images are local files, upload them first (for example via WaveSpeedAI’s media upload endpoint) and use the returned
download_urlvalues here. - For best stability, use clear, high-quality inputs and avoid heavily compressed thumbnails.
Other parameters
-
sizeUsewidth*height(for example1024*1024,832*1216,1216*832). Each dimension must be 256–1536. -
seed-1(default behavior) for a new variation each run- A fixed integer (for example
12345) for repeatable results and controlled iteration
-
enable_sync_mode(API-only)false(default): submit a task, then query the prediction resulttrue: wait and return the finished output in the same response (simpler integration, but the request takes longer)
-
enable_base64_output(API-only)false(default): outputs are URLstrue: outputs are base64 strings (useful when you can’t fetch remote URLs)
After you finish configuring the parameters, click Run, preview the result, and iterate if needed.

Notes
- If you need consistency across a batch, keep
sizeandseedfixed and vary only the prompt. - When using multiple input images, describe how they should be used (for example: “use image 1 as the base; use image 2 as style reference”).
- For UI-safe outputs, keep instructions specific (avoid “make it more provocative” style prompts) and review results before publishing.

Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | The positive prompt for the generation. | |
| images | array | Yes | [] | 1 ~ 4 items | List of URLs of input images for editing. The maximum number of images is 4. |
| size | string | No | - | 256 ~ 1536 per dimension | The size of the generated media in pixels (width*height). |
| seed | integer | No | -1 | -1 ~ 2147483647 | The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used. |
| enable_base64_output | boolean | No | false | - | If enabled, the output will be encoded into a BASE64 string instead of a URL. This property is only available through the API. |
| enable_sync_mode | boolean | No | false | - | If set to true, the function will wait for the result to be generated and uploaded before returning the response. It allows you to get the result directly in the response. This property is only available through the API. |
