High-resolution generation with efficient inference
- Flux 2 Dev delivers ~4MP images with improved lighting, faces, and hands while preserving prompt fidelity.
- Guidance distillation enables fewer steps for previews and faster iteration, with production-ready results at moderate step counts.
Input Parameters
Core Prompts
| Parameter | Type | Default/Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Default: "" | The textual description of the desired image. Use natural language with details on subject, style, lighting, and layout. |
| enable_prompt_expansion | boolean | Default: false | If true, expands the prompt automatically for potentially richer results. |
| guidance_scale | float | Default: 2.5 | Controls adherence to the prompt. Higher values follow the prompt more closely but may reduce visual quality. |
Dimensions & Sampling
| Parameter | Type | Default/Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| image_size | string | Default: landscape_4_3; Choices: square_hd, square, portrait_4_3, portrait_16_9, landscape_4_3, landscape_16_9, Custom | Choose a preset aspect ratio or select Custom to specify width/height (512–2048 px each side). |
| num_inference_steps | integer | Default: 28 | Number of denoising steps. Higher values generally improve quality but increase latency. |
| num_images | integer | Default: 1 | Number of images to generate in one request. |
| acceleration | string | Default: regular; Choices: none, regular, high | Select acceleration level for generation based on your performance/quality needs. |
| seed | integer | Default: 0 | Random seed for reproducibility. Use the same seed to repeat results. |
Advanced & I/O
| Parameter | Type | Default/Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| output_format | string | Default: png; Choices: jpeg, png, webp | Output image file format. Use PNG/WebP for transparency or lossless needs; JPEG for smaller size. |
How Flux 2 Dev compares to other models
- Vs FLUX.1 Generation: Compared to FLUX.1, Flux 2 Dev delivers higher resolution (~4MP), stronger prompt adherence, better lighting and anatomy, and significantly improved on-image text readability. Ideal use case: upgrading legacy FLUX.1 pipelines to achieve higher fidelity and layout-aware outputs.
- Vs Flux 2 Pro/Flex variants: Compared to Pro/Flex, Flux 2 Dev offers open weights and flexible deployment (including quantized options) at some trade-off in ultimate fidelity and speed. Ideal use case: teams needing open-weight access for local/edge experiments, internal tools, or customization. Try Flux 2 Pro here and Flux 2 Flex here
- Vs Nano Banana Pro: Compared to Nano Banana Pro, Flux 2 Dev emphasizes open-weight availability, multi-reference consistency, and developer-friendly deployment across local and cloud stacks. Ideal use case: projects prioritizing edge deployment and consistent typography without reliance on proprietary ecosystems.
- Vs Seedream 4.5: Compared to Seedream 4.5, Flux 2 Dev focuses on long-context prompting, robust layout following, and readable text for production assets. Ideal use case: marketing/UI work where precise layout and readable text are mandatory.
- Vs Z-Image-Turbo: Compared to lightweight turbo models, Flux 2 Dev delivers higher realism, stronger text fidelity, and better multi-reference consistency, with slightly higher latency. Ideal use case: when quality, consistency, and layout control outweigh raw speed.
API Integration
Developers can integrate Flux 2 Dev via the RunComfy API using standard HTTP requests. The interface mirrors common T2I pipelines, so you can pass prompts, sizes, and sampling settings with minimal setup. Integration is designed for rapid prototyping and production rollouts alike.
