Contextual Image Editing
Edits existing images while preserving their original composition and context, using an input image URL as a reference to guide targeted modifications.
FLUX.1 Kontext [max] is an image generation and editing model developed by Black Forest Labs. It accepts image URLs, configuration selects, and seed inputs to support both generating new images from text prompts and editing existing images while preserving their original context and composition. A notable characteristic of the model is its ability to accurately render text within generated images, which has historically been a difficult task for image generation systems. It also supports multi-image input, allowing multiple reference images to guide the generation process. FLUX.1 Kontext [max] is the highest-tier variant in the Kontext model family from Black Forest Labs, positioned for workflows that require precise contextual understanding and high-fidelity output. It is suited for creative professionals, designers, and developers who need reliable image editing and generation within production pipelines. The model integrates with tools such as ComfyUI and MCP-compatible servers, and it carries a context window of 10,000 tokens. Its REMIX tag indicates support for remixing and transforming existing visual content.

When using the Flux Kontext Max API, it functions correctly approximately 2 out of every 10 attempts. However, the majority of the time, I encounter errors—both during image generation and when trying to view the output.

**Tools**:
Images generated using Flux Kontext Max. Videos made with Kling AI's new 2.1 model.
This video is not upscaled, but I did upscale the images with Magnific AI before I ran them through Kling AI.
**Prompts:**
Main video prompt structure I used for the videos in Kling AI:
A cinematic camera orbit around the sneaker, The camera moves slowly and intentionally, capturing the sneaker, Lighting shifts naturally as the orbit progresses, revealing surface textures like suede, Alcantara, and leather with precision. Subtle light flares and soft shadows, golden-hour editorial shoot. Fluid movements, lighting natural but stylized.
An example of a prompt I used for Flux Kontext Max:
Shoot the heel section at an angle, isolating the leather tab and stitch line. Use a macro lens to make every thread and fiber visible. Let the lighting softly highlight the curve of the back.
Cinematic, Macro Focus, 8K, Fashion Detail Editorial, Texture-Driven Product Shot.
FLUX.1 Kontext [max] has a context window of 10,000 tokens, which allows for detailed text prompts when generating or editing images.
The model accepts image URLs, two select-type configuration parameters, and a seed value. This allows users to provide reference images, configure generation options, and control reproducibility.
FLUX.1 Kontext [max] is the highest-tier variant in the Kontext family from Black Forest Labs, designed for workflows requiring the highest fidelity and contextual understanding. Black Forest Labs also offers [pro] and [dev] variants in the Kontext lineup.
The metadata for this model lists the training date as not available (n/a), so a specific training data cutoff date has not been publicly disclosed.
The model has documented integrations with ComfyUI via a custom node implementation and with MCP-compatible servers. It is also available through platforms like fal.ai.
