Flux 2
Photorealistic product shots, ad scenes, and precise edits to existing images without redrawing from scratch
About the model
Flux 2 is a model family from Black Forest Labs, available in the service in four modes at once: Flex and Pro, each in text-to-image and image-to-image variants. That lineup is handy when one team needs both from-scratch generation and careful edits to finished frames — without switching to another stack.
Flux 2’s strong suit is photorealistic rendering with clean handling of materials, lighting, and object logic. The model has a good feel for composition and confidently holds complex instructions, making it a fit for product graphics, ad scenes, key visuals, covers, and presentation assets.
The image editing mode shines when you don’t want to redraw everything from scratch but need controlled changes to an existing frame: adapt the style, swap an object, rebuild the scene around the original, or refit a visual for a new campaign format.
Strengths
- Strong photorealism with accurate materials, lighting, and textures
- Both from-scratch generation and image-based editing within a single model family
- Up to 8 reference images in editing mode
- 1K and 2K resolutions with unified controls in the app
- Follows long, multi-part prompts and compositional constraints well
Best for
- Product imagery, ad visuals, and lifestyle scenes
- Edits to existing assets without rebuilding the whole frame
- Posters, key visuals, and presentation images with tight compositional control
- Image series with a repeatable style and consistent lighting
- Tasks where realism, clean form, and predictable results matter
Limitations
- The family is built around 1K and 2K images
- Complex pinpoint edits may take a few iterations
- The Flex variant costs more than baseline standard models but delivers more control and quality
Prompting tips
- Break your prompt into blocks: subject, environment, lighting, composition, materials
- When editing an image, list what to keep first, then what to change
- For ad and product scenes, explicitly specify the surface type, light source, and camera angle
- For predictable results, avoid mixing wildly different art styles in one request
