FLUX.1 Kontext Max

FLUX.1 Kontext Max is the top-tier variant of Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 Kontext family, designed for in-context image editing where prompts can reference and modify a source image. It supports iterative edits, character and style consistency across generations, and high-fidelity text-to-image synthesis. Use it for product photo editing, creative iteration, and image-to-image workflows that need precise control.
