FLUX.1 Kontext

Use FLUX.1 Kontext for reference-aware generation and edits with exclusive live examples.

Also consider: Use live Seedream 5.0 Pro or GPT Image 2 for instruction-heavy typography work, or FLUX.2 for fresh stills without a reference.

Model overview

What FLUX.1 Kontext is for

FLUX.1 Kontext is the reference-aware FLUX route when identity, label placement, or scene structure must survive an edit. State the invariants first, then name the change. Text-to-image and image-to-image are both live in this workspace. Inside Seedream 5.0 Pro, this model opens the generator with a live credit estimate before the request starts.

Decision guide

When to choose this route

Choose Kontext when an uploaded reference or a locked subject matters more than a brand-new composition. For unconstrained stills, use FLUX.2 or Seedream instead. Keep the comparison on Seedream 5.0 Pro when you want this image route next to the live Seedream 5.0 Pro path.

Specification notes

Capabilities stay tied to what the live endpoint can do in this workspace.

Preserve-then-change structure
Name invariants before the requested transformation.
Reference-first examples
Gallery stills support planning edit intensity and framing.
Live edit bridge
Current image-to-image models are named explicitly.

FLUX.1 Kontext prompt examples

Each example pairs a visual reference with a copyable production brief. Replace subjects while keeping hierarchy, light, and materials concrete.

FLUX.1 Kontext background replace example

Background replace

Preserve subject cutout integrity before naming the new environment.

From the reference, lock bottle silhouette, cap geometry, and label crop. Swap only the set to a cool concrete alcove with a single bounce card and a crisp contact shadow.
FLUX.1 Kontext material recolor example

Material recolor

A narrow material change is easier to evaluate than a full restyle.

Preserve the uploaded sneaker shape and all logo placement. Change the materials to off-white mesh and forest-green suede under neutral daylight.
FLUX.1 Kontext seasonal restyle example

Seasonal restyle

Keep composition; change only weather and palette.

Keep the cafe window seat composition from the reference. Restyle as rainy autumn evening with fogged glass, amber interior lamps, and a wool coat on the chair.
FLUX.1 Kontext wardrobe swap example

Wardrobe swap

Lock face and pose before changing clothing.

Preserve face, pose, and camera from the reference. Replace the jacket with a structured ivory blazer and keep the street background unchanged.
FLUX.1 Kontext cleanup edit example

Cleanup edit

Constrain repairs to a small visible defect.

Keep the family composition and warm room light from the reference. Remove the cluttered table objects and extend the wooden surface naturally.
FLUX.1 Kontext style transfer example

Style transfer lite

Transfer medium without inventing new subjects.

Preserve the subject and framing from the reference. Restyle as a gouache illustration with visible paper texture and limited muted pigments.

A controlled image workflow

Small, intentional changes produce more learning than rewriting every part of the prompt.

  1. 01

    Mark invariants

    List what must remain: identity, logo, camera, crop, or layout.

  2. 02

    Name one change

    Background, material, wardrobe, season, or cleanup—pick a single primary edit.

  3. 03

    Edit live

    Use live FLUX.1 Kontext, Nano Banana, or GPT Image 2 image-to-image according to the edit's preservation and typography needs.

  4. 04

    Save the pair

    Keep source and result with the prompt for a future Kontext benchmark.

What creators say after using this workflow in production.

Kontext-style briefs — preserve subject, change environment — are how we already edit. This page names that workflow clearly.

Context-aware editing examples helped our team list “keep” vs “change” in every client revision note.

We use the Kontext prompt patterns with live image-to-image today. When Kontext lands here, the habit is already built.

Background swaps without melting the product edge — that is what we hunt for. The examples set the right expectation.

Reference preservation language from this landing page reduced bad edits in our current GPT Image 2 runs by a lot.

Kontext is the right mental model for revision rounds: stable hero, controlled delta. The page teaches that better than generic docs.
