Flux Kontext Max Text To Image

Flux Kontext Max Text To Image

Playground

FLUX.1 Kontext [max] is a text-to-image model with max performance and greatly improved prompt adherence for accurate results. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

FLUX Kontext Max is a high-quality text-to-image model built for prompt-faithful generation with strong composition control and cinematic detail. Write a clear scene description (subject, setting, action, camera, lighting, mood), and it produces polished, production-ready images—great for story frames, concept art, marketing visuals, and realistic or stylized illustration work.

Key capabilities

• High-fidelity text-to-image generation with strong prompt adherence
• Cinematic composition control (framing, lens feel, lighting, atmosphere)
• Handles complex scenes (multiple elements, detailed environments, coherent styling)
• Consistent output quality suitable for professional creative workflows

Pricing

$0.08 per image.

Total cost = num_images × $0.08 Example: num_images = 4 → $0.32

How to use

1. Write a prompt describing the scene and desired look.
2. Choose an aspect ratio for your target layout (e.g., 16:9 for cinematic, 1:1 for avatars).
3. Adjust guidance_scale if you need stricter prompt following.
4. Set a seed for repeatable results (optional), then generate.

Parameters

• prompt (required): The text description of what to generate
• seed: Fixed value for reproducibility; leave empty or random for variation
• guidance_scale: Higher values follow the prompt more strongly (too high may look rigid or overcooked)
• aspect_ratio: Output aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9, 1:1, 9:16)
• enable_sync_mode: Wait for generation and return results directly (API only)

Prompting guide

A reliable prompt structure:

• Subject: who/what is in the image
• Action: what is happening
• Scene: where + time + atmosphere
• Camera: framing, lens vibe, movement (if relevant)
• Lighting: key light, contrast, color temperature
• Style: realistic, film still, illustration, etc.

Example pattern: A [shot type] of [subject] [action] in [scene]. [Lighting + mood]. [Camera/framing]. [Style cues].

Example prompts

• A cinematic close-up of a detective under flickering fluorescent lights, rain streaks on the window behind, shallow depth of field, tense atmosphere, film still look.
• Wide shot of a futuristic street market at dusk, neon reflections on wet pavement, dense crowd silhouettes, volumetric light beams, high detail, cinematic composition.
• Studio product photo of a minimalist smartwatch on a glossy black surface, softbox lighting, crisp reflections, premium advertising style, ultra clean background.

Best practices

• Keep the first sentence simple and concrete, then add constraints and style cues.
• Use camera and lighting language to steer composition more reliably than abstract adjectives.
• For consistent iteration, fix seed and adjust one variable at a time (prompt wording or guidance_scale).
