What FLUX.2 does best, and how we prompted it
Photoreal light and texture
FLUX.2 shines on light you can feel: the furnace glow on our glassblower, dust hanging in the library light shafts, steam curling off torn bread. Name the light source and its direction in the prompt and it follows.
Text that reads right
Every word on our Lantern Row posters and all three "No. 7 repaired" tags came back spelled exactly as written. Put each line in double quotes and say where it sits, on a tag, a band or a headline, and FLUX.2 places it there.
Pro: full size at the best price
Flux 2 Pro costs 2 credits at the 4 MP setting, the same as at 2 MP. It made four of the seven images at the top of this page: the bread, the street scene, the perfume bottle and the stone giant.
Max: the most polished finish
Our glassblower and library both came from Flux 2 Max, at 5 credits at the 4 MP setting. Use it for the hero image of a campaign, where light, skin and scale carry the picture.
Flex: layouts that follow the brief
Black Forest Labs built Flex for text and fine detail. On our Lantern Row poster it delivered the tall condensed headline, one string of lanterns and a deep navy type color. Flex costs 2 credits at 1 MP and 7 credits at 4 MP.
HEX codes set the palette
Our poster prompt named four colors as HEX codes, and the Flex poster came back in that cream, orange, teal and navy family. Name every color you care about, one code per element.
Write prompts like a shot note
Every prompt on this page starts with shot size and lens, then a specific subject and one action, then light and texture. That order gives FLUX.2 what it needs to compose a finished frame.
Concept art with photoreal detail
Our stone giant prompt asks for "photoreal concept art" with "crisp detail at every distance", and FLUX.2 holds that detail from the lit fishing boat to the lantern beam across a wide 16:9 frame. Name one warm light against a cool palette to set the mood.
What you can create with FLUX.2: portraits, architecture, food, products and posters
We made every image here on Pixel Dojo with Flux 2 Pro, Max and Flex, and each tile shows the tier, the settings and the exact prompt behind it. Tap Use this prompt on any tile to start from it, then pick the tier and resolution listed under the image.
Documentary portrait on Flux 2 Max: a glowing gather of molten glass, drifting sparks and beads of sweat on her forearm, lit by the open furnace. Start from this prompt for any craft or workshop portrait.
Medium close shot at eye level, 85mm lens. A glassblower with a silver grey braid, a scorched leather apron and rolled denim sleeves turns a long steel blowpipe, a glowing orange gather of molten glass swelling at its tip in the foreground, a few sparks drifting. Dark brick studio, the open furnace mouth blazing behind her as the warm key light, cool blue daylight from a high window catching her cheekbone. Heat shimmer above the glass, sweat on her forearm, shallow depth of field, warm 35mm film grain.
Architecture on Flux 2 Max: straight verticals, dust hanging in shafts of gold light and one red coat for scale. It reads like a spread from an architecture magazine.
Wide interior shot at dawn, 24mm tilt shift lens, perfectly straight verticals. A spiral concrete staircase winds up through a five story brutalist library atrium, shafts of low gold sunlight cutting across the board formed concrete, dust hanging in the beams. A lone reader in a rust red coat climbs the stairs, tiny against the scale. Shelves of pale oak, deep cool shadows, architectural magazine photograph.
Typographic poster on Flux 2 Flex: all six lines spelled exactly as written, a tall condensed headline and a string of paper lanterns in the cream, orange, teal and navy we named with HEX codes. Swap in your own event and dates.
A screen printed festival poster in portrait format on cream paper #F4EBDD with visible paper fiber. A huge flat sun circle in #E4572E sits behind bold condensed sans serif type in #1D3557 that reads "LANTERN ROW" stacked on two lines. Under it, smaller #1D3557 type reads "NIGHT MARKET" and then "FRIDAY 18 OCTOBER, 7 PM TO MIDNIGHT". A string of paper lanterns in #F3A712 hangs across the top edge. A solid band of #2A9D8F along the bottom holds three short cream lines: "Street food", "Live brass band", "Lantern making". Slight ink misregistration and halftone texture, every word spelled exactly as written.
Food photography on Flux 2 Pro: two natural hands tearing open the crumb, a curl of steam and flour glowing in low side light, for 2 credits.
Tight overhead shot, 50mm lens. Two flour dusted hands tear open a dark crusted sourdough loaf on a scarred oak board, a curl of steam rising from the glossy open crumb, a few crumbs falling. Low morning window light raking from the right, a small dish of salted butter and a folded linen towel at the edge of frame, warm neutral grade, flour dust glowing in the light, shallow depth of field.
Street photography on Flux 2 Pro: rain streaks, rising steam, a motion blurred bus and red signal light smeared across wet asphalt, all in one handheld looking frame.
Candid street photograph at night, 35mm lens, handheld. A cyclist in a mustard yellow rain jacket waits at a crosswalk with one foot on the curb, rain streaking through the cone of a single streetlight, red and green traffic lights smeared across the wet asphalt. Steam rising from a manhole behind him, a blurred city bus passing, cool teal shadows against warm sodium highlights, documentary realism, fine grain.
Product hero on Flux 2 Pro: faceted smoked glass, beaded water, a brass cap and an amber crown splash frozen mid air. Start from this prompt for any bottle, jar or watch.
Macro product shot from a low angle, 100mm lens. A faceted smoked glass perfume bottle with a raw brass cap stands on a wet black basalt slab. Beside it, one drop of amber liquid hits the stone and throws up a small crown shaped splash, frozen by a high speed flash. Thin rim light from behind traces the glass facets in gold, soft teal fill from the left, pure black background with thin drifting mist. Water beads on the stone, crisp reflections, clean commercial finish, no text or logo.
Concept art on Flux 2 Pro: a stone giant in a storming sea, a lantern beam cutting through the rain and a lit fishing boat for scale, in a wide 16:9 frame.
Epic wide establishing shot, 24mm lens, photoreal concept art. A colossal ancient stone lighthouse carved as a kneeling giant holding a lantern rises from a storming sea, a white beam cutting through sheets of rain, waves exploding against the carved knees, a tiny fishing boat with one lit lamp in the foreground for scale. Slate blue and storm green palette with a single warm light, volumetric haze, crisp detail at every distance, clean frame edges with no signature, watermark or text.
One clockmaker prompt on Flux 2 Pro, Max and Flex
To help you pick a tier, here is one clockmaker prompt at 1 MP on Pro, Max and Flex, side by side: a face, two hands, a tiny gear and a handwritten tag. All three lettered "No. 7 repaired" right where the prompt put it.
Flux 2 Pro at 1 MP, 1.5 credits: warm lamp light, a wall of clocks and the handwritten tag spelled right.
Close portrait of a clockmaker at her workbench, a brass loupe in one eye, fine tweezers lifting a tiny gear from an open pocket watch. A small handwritten paper tag on the bench reads "No. 7 repaired". Warm light from a green shaded desk lamp, a wall of clocks soft in the background, 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, photoreal.
Flux 2 Max at 1 MP, 2.5 credits: the richest detail, with one loupe in one eye and spare gears laid out across the bench.
Close portrait of a clockmaker at her workbench, a brass loupe in one eye, fine tweezers lifting a tiny gear from an open pocket watch. A small handwritten paper tag on the bench reads "No. 7 repaired". Warm light from a green shaded desk lamp, a wall of clocks soft in the background, 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, photoreal.
Flux 2 Flex at 1 MP, 2 credits: a tight, cinematic close up with brass loupe glasses and the tag lettered cleanly.
Close portrait of a clockmaker at her workbench, a brass loupe in one eye, fine tweezers lifting a tiny gear from an open pocket watch. A small handwritten paper tag on the bench reads "No. 7 repaired". Warm light from a green shaded desk lamp, a wall of clocks soft in the background, 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, photoreal.
- Text lands where you put it: all three tiers lettered "No. 7 repaired" on the paper tag. Put the words in double quotes and name the object they sit on.
- Pick Max when the small details of a brief matter, like one loupe in one eye and gears laid out on the bench.
- Pick Pro for everyday work: 1.5 credits at 1 MP and 2 credits at the 4 MP setting.
- Pick Flex for posters and text heavy layouts, where every line of type matters.
FLUX.2 Pro vs Seedream 5 on the same typographic poster
We gave Flux 2 Pro and Seedream 5 the same Lantern Row poster prompt, with six lines of text and four HEX colors, and both spelled every word. FLUX.2 Pro turned it into a warm, handmade print on flecked cream paper with festoon lanterns, for 2 credits. Seedream 5 went for a crisp screen print with halftone grain. Pick FLUX.2 Pro for that warm handcrafted look, and Seedream 5 for a classic screen print.
