Why run FLUX 2 [pro] on the Runflow API

Flux AI models are available on many platforms. Here's what makes the Runflow image generation API different.

Zero-configuration generation

No guidance_scale or inference steps to tune — FLUX 2 [pro] automatically optimises every generation for best quality.

Automatic prompt upsampling

The model refines your prompt internally for better interpretation — shorter prompts produce better results than with most other models.

Per-megapixel pricing

$0.03 for the first megapixel, $0.015 per additional MP. A 1024×1024 image costs $0.03; a 1920×1080 image costs $0.045.

Advanced prompt features

Supports JSON-structured prompts for granular scene control, HEX colour codes, and @ symbol image referencing for multi-image workflows.

Sentinel quality scoring

Every output is scored by Runflow's Sentinel system before delivery, catching low-quality or off-prompt results automatically.

Built for these workflows
