FLUX 3 Image released, with bounding boxes in prompts and up to 4K output
FLUX 3 Image gives you maximum control over every pixel. Generate an image from a prompt, edit specific parts of an image, and combine up to ten references, all through one endpoint.
Key Features
- Bounding boxes in the prompt: place every element of a layout, such as a headline, a face in a crowd, or each panel of a grid. Add a JSON list of boxes to the end of
prompt; there is no separate parameter - Pixel-exact local edits: mark the element to change and keep the rest of the image as it was. Recolor, replace, move, resize, or remove several elements in one request
- Up to ten references: name each image by its position in the prompt to restyle an image or combine references into a new composition
- Up to 4K output:
