Flux Kontext Dev Multi
Playground
Try it on WavespeedAI!Experimental FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] with multi-image handling for contextual multi-input inference and image workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
FLUX Kontext Dev Multi — wavespeed-ai/flux-kontext-dev/multi
FLUX.1 Kontext Dev Multi extends instruction-based image editing to a multi-image workflow. You can provide up to 4 reference images alongside a text instruction, enabling richer context, stronger consistency, and more controllable edits across subjects, styles, and scenes—especially useful when one image alone is not enough to describe what you want.
Key capabilities
- Multi-image contextual editing with up to 4 reference images
- Better subject/style consistency by grounding edits in multiple references
- Supports both local edits (specific changes) and global edits (overall look)
- Ideal for iterative workflows: refine results step-by-step while keeping identity and style stable
Typical use cases
- Multi-reference character consistency (face/hair/outfit cues from multiple photos)
- Product edits with reference packs (angle, material, branding consistency)
- Style guidance from multiple exemplars (illustration style + lighting reference + texture reference)
- Scene recomposition while preserving subject identity
- Branding/text edits that must match reference typography and layout
Pricing
$0.03 per generation.
If you generate multiple outputs in one run, total cost = num_images × $0.03 Example: num_images = 4 → $0.12
Inputs and outputs
Input:
- Up to 4 reference images (upload or public URLs)
- One edit instruction (prompt)
Output:
- One or more edited images (controlled by num_images)
Parameters
- prompt: Edit instruction describing what to change and what to keep
- images: Up to 4 reference images
- width / height: Output resolution
- num_inference_steps: More steps can improve fidelity but increases latency
- guidance_scale: Higher values follow the prompt more strongly; too high may over-edit
- num_images: Number of variations generated per run
- seed: Fixed value for reproducibility; -1 for random
- output_format: jpeg or png
- enable_base64_output: Return BASE64 instead of a URL (API only)
- enable_sync_mode: Wait for generation and return results directly (API only)
Prompting guide
For multi-reference runs, be explicit about how each reference should be used:
Template: Use reference 1 for [identity]. Use reference 2 for [outfit/material]. Use reference 3 for [style/lighting]. Use reference 4 for [background/scene]. Keep [must-preserve]. Change [edit request]. Match [lighting/shadows/perspective].
Example prompts
- Use reference 1 for face identity and reference 2 for hairstyle. Keep the pose from the base image. Replace the background with a modern office and match lighting direction.
- Use reference 1 for the product shape and reference 2 for label design. Replace the label text with “WaveSpeedAI”, keeping typography, perspective, and print texture consistent.
- Use reference 3 as the style guide (soft illustration look) and reference 4 for lighting mood (golden hour). Preserve the subject identity from reference 1.
Best practices
- Provide clean references: sharp subjects, consistent lighting, minimal occlusion.
- Assign roles to references (identity vs. style vs. scene) to avoid conflicting signals.
- Make one change per run, then iterate for tighter control.
- Fix seed when you need stable comparisons across prompt variants.

Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | The positive prompt for the generation. | |
| images | array | No | [] | - | URL of images to use while generating the image. |
| size | string | No | - | 256 ~ 1536 per dimension | 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 | 2.5 | 1.0 ~ 20.0 | 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 | -1 ~ 2147483647 | The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used. |
| output_format | string | No | jpeg | jpeg, png, webp | The format of the output image. |
| 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. |
