Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra vs Flux 2 Max
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra costs 1.5 credits flat and Flux 2 Max costs 2 credits at its default 1 MP tier. We sent both the same fisherman portrait prompt on August 26, 2026. Ultra came back in about 27 seconds with a tight, cropped shot filling the frame with hands and face. Max took about 40 seconds and handed back a full wide scene, the man seated at a harbor dock with boats blurred behind him. Pick Ultra for a fast, close character study. Pick Max when the background has to read as a real place.

Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra vs Flux 2 Max
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
Ultra is the cheaper, faster pick
1.5 credits against 2, and about 27 seconds against about 40 on our run. If you just need a strong single shot fast, Ultra gets there first.
Max is the one with resolution control
Four megapixel tiers, 0.5 MP through 4 MP, priced 2, 2, 3 and 4 credits. Ultra has no separate resolution setting, only aspect ratio.
Max composes the wider environment
Our Max output placed the subject on a dock with a harbor, boats and coiled rope in view. Ultra's output filled the frame with the subject and cropped the setting almost entirely out.
How It Works
How we ran the comparison, so you can repeat it:
Send the identical prompt to both apiIds
The same fisherman portrait wording went to flux-1.1-pro-ultra and flux-2-max with no other settings changed from each model's default.
Bracket each request with a timestamp
We logged the second before submitting and the second the finished file arrived, for both models, on the same day.
Compare framing, not just the numbers
We opened both outputs and checked how much of the scene each one chose to show, alongside the price and turnaround difference.
The Pixel Dojo Advantage
Same wording, same day. The gap is price, speed and how much of the scene each one keeps in frame.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra vs Flux 2 Max
What does Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra cost versus Flux 2 Max?
Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra is a flat 1.5 credits per image. Flux 2 Max starts at 2 credits for its default 1 MP output and rises to 3 credits at 2 MP and 4 credits at 4 MP.
Which one is faster?
Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra was faster on our run, about 27 seconds against about 40 seconds for Flux 2 Max at its default resolution, same prompt, same day.
Why did Flux 2 Max show more of the scene?
We did not add extra scene instructions. Flux 2 Max composed a wider environmental shot on its own, while Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra pushed in tight on the subject. That composition tendency held for this prompt, it is not a setting either model exposes directly.
Can I control the output resolution on either model?
Only on Flux 2 Max. It has an explicit resolution field with four megapixel tiers. Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra only exposes aspect ratio, and its resolution follows from that automatically.
Does either one edit an existing photo?
Flux 2 Max does, through its multi-image input field, up to 8 reference images per call. Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra's schema is prompt, aspect ratio, seed, output format and output quality, with no image field, so it is text-to-image only.
How do I call either one from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/flux-1.1-pro-ultra/run for Ultra, or /api/v1/models/flux-2-max/run for Max. Same API key, same request shape, just a different apiId in the URL.
