## About FLUX 2 Flex (I2I)

FLUX 2 Flex is the control tier of Black Forest Labs' FLUX.2 generation, launched on 25 November 2025. This entry covers its image editing mode, which combines the family's reference-driven editing with per-request control over inference steps and guidance scale. Black Forest Labs positions Flex as the family's strongest text renderer, which matters for edits that touch lettering, labels and interface elements.

On Artifio the editing mode shares one workspace and wallet with 100+ other models, paid per generation.

## Features

- Multi-reference editing with up to 8 input images through the API, and up to 10 in the maker's playground
- Adjustable inference steps up to 50 and guidance scale from 1.5 to 10 on every request
- Edited output at up to 4-megapixel resolution
- Best-in-class text and fine-detail rendering within the FLUX.2 family, per the maker
- Exact color control via hex codes and structured JSON prompting

## What people use it for

- Replacing or correcting text inside an existing image, such as signs, packaging or screenshots
- Fine-detail edits where extra inference steps preserve small structures
- Design revisions that must keep the rest of the layout untouched
- Multi-reference composites tuned per request for fidelity or speed

## Reported strengths

- Combines the FLUX.2 reference-consistency feature set with the family's best typography, a useful pairing for design edits
- Step and guidance control lets one model serve both quick draft edits and slow high-fidelity finals
- 4-megapixel editing output matches the Pro tier's ceiling

## Reported limitations

- Closed weights; editing runs only through the hosted API and playground
- Tuning burden falls on the user, and badly chosen step or guidance values degrade results
- The API caps references at 8 images, and grounding search is exclusive to the Max tier
