Open image generation models from Black Forest Labs, from free to ultra-detailed.
Flux is a family of text-to-image models from Black Forest Labs, the team behind the original Stable Diffusion. The FLUX.1 models launched in 2024 and quickly became known for excellent prompt following, realistic hands and faces, and accurate text inside images — historically the weak points of image generators. FLUX.2 is the current generation, with further improvements in detail and realism.

- Accurate text rendering inside generated images
- FLUX.1 Schnell is free and open-weight (Apache 2.0)

How it works
What makes Flux unusual is its open approach. FLUX.1 Schnell is released under the Apache 2.0 licence, so anyone can download it and run it locally or build products on it for free. The Pro and Ultra models are available through an API and through partner apps, priced per image from about $0.04. Many image tools and apps now use Flux models behind the scenes.
For creators, Flux is a strong choice when you need accurate text in an image, realistic photography-style results, or an open model you can run yourself. The trade-off is that there is no official consumer app with a simple interface — you use Flux through the API, a partner tool, or a local install. Prices change as new models launch, so check the official site before budgeting.
