FLUX-PuLID uses FLUX.1 [dev] and PuLID to create photorealistic images from reference photos that preserve custom likenesses. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

FLUX-PuLID fuses the power of FLUX.1 [dev] with advanced Personalized User Likeness ID (PuLID) technology, enabling consistent character identity across different scenes, outfits, and artistic styles. Whether you want to turn a photo into a fantasy elf, cyberpunk warrior, or cinematic portrait, FLUX-PuLID ensures your face stays unmistakably you.


๐ŸŽจ Why it looks great

  • ๐Ÿง  ID consistency: preserves facial structure, proportions, and expression across all generated images.
  • ๐Ÿ‘— Flexible restyling: change outfits, lighting, or environment โ€” from elegant fashion to sci-fi armor.
  • ๐Ÿง Realistic transformations: morph your likeness into new worlds โ€” elves, heroes, mecha pilots, or film characters.
  • ๐ŸŽฅ Cinematic detail: uses FLUXโ€™s filmic rendering core for smooth tones, accurate skin, and realistic depth of field.
  • ๐ŸŽญ Creative control: adjust guidance scale for balance between faithfulness and artistic freedom.

โš™๏ธ Limits and Performance

  • Max resolution: up to 1536 ร— 1536 px
  • Input: image reference + descriptive prompt
  • Output formats: jpeg, png, webp

๐Ÿ’ฐ Pricing

Each image costs $0.02.

๐Ÿš€ How to Use

  1. ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Upload a reference image โ€” ensure the face in the image is clear and well-lit.
  2. โœ๏ธ Write a descriptive prompt โ€” specify the new style, outfit, or theme.
  3. ๐ŸŽš๏ธ Adjust settings โ€” size, guidance scale, seed, and output format.
  4. โ–ถ๏ธ Click โ€œRunโ€ to generate your personalized image instantly.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tips

  • Keep the face visible and well-lit in the input image for best likeness.
  • Use 3.0โ€“4.0 guidance scale for natural balance between realism and creativity.
  • Try cinematic or fantasy prompts for striking artistic results.

๐Ÿงพ Notes

Please double-check your image upload URL โ€” if thereโ€™s an issue, the preview will not appear.

Parameters

Task Submission Parameters

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
promptstringYes-The positive prompt for the generation.
imagestringYes--
sizestringNo1024*1024-The size of the generated media in pixels (width*height).
guidance_scalenumberNo3.50 ~ 20The guidance scale to use for the generation.
seedintegerNo-1-The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used.
output_formatstringNojpegjpeg, png, webpThe format of the output image.
enable_base64_outputbooleanNofalse-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_modebooleanNofalse-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.
