By Black Forest Labs
Pricing: $0.04 per image
Overview
FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] edits images using both text and a reference image, supporting precise local edits as well as full-scene transformations. It keeps subjects consistent while changing backgrounds, lighting, color, and style.
Key capabilities
- $0.04 per image, about 25 runs per $1, with simple fixed per-call pricing.
- Multi-region failover. Runflow runs optimized inference across multiple regions, routing around outages automatically.
- Targeted local edits that change one element while preserving the rest of the image.
- Whole-scene transformations including background swaps, relighting, and restyling.
- Strong subject consistency, so faces and key objects stay recognizable across edits.

Examples
- Replace the plain studio background behind the smiling young woman with curly dark hair with a warm, softly blurred autumn park at golden hour, keeping her face, hair, and lighting natural and consistent.
- Move the tabby-and-white cat from the snow onto a sunlit spring meadow with soft green grass and tiny wildflowers, matching the daylight and keeping the cat's pose and fur detail unchanged.
- Change the pink flower bloom to a deep velvety blue with subtle dew droplets on the petals, keeping the soft green background and the close-up focus intact.
- Transform the lush green summer forest around the winding river into vivid autumn foliage with orange and red leaves, keeping the river's path and reflections realistic.
