Flux.1 (Flux1 AI) is an AI image generation and editing platform used in a browser, with the core aim of letting users use the FLUX series of models from Black Forest Labs without a GPU or installation. The platform brings multiple FLUX models together under one subscription, officially described as "Every FLUX model in one place."
Main capabilities
- Text-to-image: Enter a text prompt, select a FLUX model, and generate an image; the official description says most images can be completed within seconds.
- Image editing: You can upload photos for editing, and continuous editing with FLUX Kontext is supported.
- Available models: FLUX.2 Pro, FLUX.2 Flex, FLUX.2 Dev, FLUX.1 Kontext Pro and Max, FLUX 1.1 Pro, FLUX 1.1 Pro Ultra, FLUX Krea, as well as the FLUX Fill, Canny, Depth, and Redux tools.
- The same account also includes other image and video models: Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image, Seedream, and video models such as Seedance, Kling, and Veo.
- Image examples cover styles such as portraits, realism, and surrealism, and the official page displays multiple sets of prompts and generated results.
How to use
- The official steps given are: open the Create page and select a FLUX model; enter a text prompt, or upload a photo for editing; click generate, and most images are ready within seconds; download the image, or continue editing with FLUX Kontext. The entire process is completed in the browser, with no GPU or installation required.
Pricing and free quota
