Flux Kontext Pro vs Qwen Image 2 Edit
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Flux Kontext Pro and Qwen Image 2 Edit both cost 1 credit per image, so this comparison comes down to what each one does with an edit instruction. We placed the same character reference into the same rainy street scene with both on August 26, 2026. Flux Kontext Pro finished in about 20 seconds but cropped in tight on the subject. Qwen Image 2 Edit took about 26 seconds and kept the wide shot the prompt asked for.

Qwen Image 2 Edit
Same reference photo, same edit instruction, same day, same price. Flux Kontext Pro: 1 credit, about 20 seconds. Qwen Image 2 Edit: 1 credit, about 26 seconds.
How It Works
How we ran the comparison:
Start from the same reference photo
One character sheet, generated earlier with a character-consistency tool, fed as the reference to both models.
Send the same scene-placement instruction
One prompt naming every identity detail to preserve, plus an explicit request for a cinematic wide shot.
Check whether each result honored the framing request
We compared the two outputs against the prompt's explicit 'wide shot' instruction, not just against each other.
The Pixel Dojo Advantage
| Others | Pixel Dojo |
|---|---|
| Price | Both are 1 credit per image, flat, at their default settings. No price advantage either way. |
| What we measured | Flux Kontext Pro finished in about 20 seconds. Qwen Image 2 Edit finished in about 26 seconds, 6 seconds slower for the same price. |
| Reference image limit | Flux Kontext Pro takes one primary reference image, with an optional second for extra context. Qwen Image 2 Edit takes 1 to 3 reference images in a single request. |
| What we saw: Flux Kontext Pro | A tight, square 1024x1024 portrait crop on the subject's upper body and face, holding the handlebars, with the crosswalk and blurred red neon signs visible behind her. The prompt asked for a cinematic wide shot; the result stayed close to a portrait framing instead. |
| What we saw: Qwen Image 2 Edit | A square 1024x1024 full-body shot showing the whole bicycle, the crosswalk stripes, and pedestrians with umbrellas on both sidewalks. The neon signage attempted real words but came out garbled. The wide-shot framing the prompt asked for came through. |
