Two Core Capabilities.
Limitless Potential.
Flux 2 Max isn't just another model. It's a dual-engine creative suite designed to handle both creation from scratch and complex manipulation of existing assets.
Advanced Text-to-Image
Convert simple prompts into breathtakingly detailed images. Flux 2 Max understands nuance, lighting, and complex composition better than previous generations.
Precision Image Editing
Modify existing images with natural language. Change backgrounds, add objects, or alter styles without losing the original essence of the photo. Currently ranked #7 on the leaderboard.
Style Consistency
Maintain character identity and visual style across multiple generations. Perfect for storyboarding, comics, and consistent brand assets.
Next-Gen Architecture
Built on advanced Flow Matching Transformers, capable of generating 2K resolution images with coherent spatial relationships.
Mastering Flux 2 Max Prompts
Flux 2 Max excels at understanding complex natural language. Here are some prompt structures to get the best results.
Perfect Typography
"A neon sign on a rainy street corner that says 'FLUX FUTURE' in bright pink cursive letters, cyberpunk aesthetic, 8k resolution"
Flux 2 Max handles text generation significantly better than older models. Enclose your text in single quotes for best accuracy.
Hyper-Real Portraits
"Close-up portrait of an elderly fisherman, detailed skin texture, natural lighting, bokeh background, shot on 35mm lens"
Specify lens types (e.g., '35mm', '85mm') and lighting conditions ('golden hour', 'studio softbox') to unlock true photorealism.
Complex Composition
"A cat sitting on top of a red robot, the robot is holding a blue umbrella, green grass background, sunny day"
Flux 2 Max has superior spatial reasoning. It can accurately place multiple distinct objects in a scene without blending them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flux 2 Max?
Flux 2 Max is a cutting-edge AI image generation model released by Black Forest Labs (@bfl_ml). It is designed to generate high-fidelity images from text descriptions. It currently ranks #3 globally for Text-to-Image generation (Score: 1167) and #7 for Image Editing (Score: 1247) on lmarena.ai.
How does Flux 2 Max compare to Gemini 2.5 Flash and Midjourney?
Flux 2 Max outperforms Gemini-2.5-Flash (Nano Banana) on the leaderboards. It sits just below Nano Banana Pro variants. Compared to Midjourney v6, Flux 2 Max offers comparable photorealism but excels in prompt adherence and text rendering capabilities.
Can I use Flux 2 Max for commercial projects?
Yes, images generated with Flux 2 Max can be used for commercial purposes. Our platform provides full commercial rights to paid subscribers. If you run the open weights yourself (where available), please check the specific Black Forest Labs license agreement.
What is the 'Image Edit' feature?
Image Edit (or Image-to-Image/Inpainting) allows you to upload an existing photo and modify it using text instructions. Ranked #7 globally, our editor excels at adding elements ("add a hat"), changing backgrounds, or restyling images while preserving the original subject's structure.
Is there an API available via Replicate?
Yes! We are currently integrating with Replicate to provide a robust API for developers. This allows you to integrate Flux 2 Max directly into your own applications, websites, or workflows. Join our waitlist for API keys.
What hardware do I need to run Flux 2 Max locally?
Running Flux 2 Max locally requires a GPU with significant VRAM (typically 24GB or more for the full model, though quantized versions may run on 12GB-16GB cards). For users without high-end hardware, we recommend using our cloud generation service.
