FLUX.1 Kontext

FLUX.1 Kontext is a suite of image generation models developed by Black Forest Labs, the German startup founded by the creators of Stable Diffusion. This revolutionary technology enables context-aware image generation and editing: you can prompt with text AND images to extract, modify, and render visual concepts coherently.

Unlike classic FLUX models limited to text-to-image, Kontext understands and modifies existing images via simple text instructions. No need for complex fine-tuning or elaborate workflows - the model naturally maintains consistency of characters, styles, and objects across successive edits.

The Kontext Max version represents the pinnacle of the technology, offering superior prompt adherence, advanced typographic rendering, and premium quality without compromising speed. Interactive inference of 3-5 seconds per image at 1 megapixel enables real-time workflows.

Core capabilities include local editing (modify a specific area without touching the rest), style transfer (generate new scenes while preserving the style of a reference), and character consistency across scenes. These features make it an ideal tool for visual storytelling, iterative design, and automated creative pipelines.

The model is accessible via the Black Forest Labs API, the Playground for testing, and partners like Replicate and Runware. Pricing is based on a credit system ($0.01 per credit).
