Flux Kontext is Black Forest Labs' context-aware image generation and editing model. It understands an image's full context and modifies it based on natural language instructions — from subtle retouches to dramatic style transforms. Available in Dev, Pro, Max, and Effects tiers on Muapi.
Context-aware image editing with the open-weight Dev model. Ideal for experimentation, research, and cost-effective iteration.
Generate images from text prompts using the open-weight Flux Kontext Dev model. High quality at low cost.
Professional context-aware image editing. Higher fidelity, faster generation, and better prompt adherence than Dev.
Generate production-quality images from text with Flux Kontext Pro. Fast and highly detailed output.
The highest fidelity Flux Kontext variant. Maximum prompt adherence, best detail preservation, ideal for professional workflows.
State-of-the-art text-to-image generation with Flux Kontext Max. The best quality in the Kontext family.
Apply cinematic, artistic, and creative effects to images using natural language. Transform photos into specific visual styles.
Flux Kontext is Black Forest Labs' most advanced image editing and generation model family. Unlike conventional inpainting or diffusion-based editors, Flux Kontext reads the full semantic context of an input image before applying any change. This means edits are coherent — objects stay in proportion, lighting stays consistent, and style is preserved unless explicitly changed. You describe what you want in plain English, and Flux Kontext executes it with precision.
What sets Flux Kontext apart from other image editing APIs is its dual support for both image-to-image and text-to-image workflows across three quality tiers — Dev, Pro, and Max — plus the Effects variant for stylistic transforms. All tiers are available right now on Muapi via a simple REST API. Submit a job, poll for the result, and get your edited image back in seconds. No GPU setup, no model hosting, no infrastructure overhead.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dev | Good | Fast | Yes | Experimentation, research, cost-effective iteration |
| Pro | High | Fast | No | Production workflows, higher fidelity output |
| Max | Highest | Moderate | No | Professional image work, maximum prompt adherence |
| Effects | Specialized | Fast | No | Style transfer, cinematic & artistic transforms |
What is Flux Kontext?
Flux Kontext is Black Forest Labs' context-aware image generation and editing model family. It understands the full context of an image and edits, transforms, or regenerates it based on natural language instructions. Available in Dev, Pro, and Max tiers on Muapi.
What is the difference between Flux Kontext Dev, Pro, and Max?
Dev is the open-weight variant ideal for research and low-cost experimentation. Pro offers higher quality and faster generation for production use. Max delivers the highest fidelity with the best prompt adherence, ideal for professional image work.
What is Flux Kontext image-to-image vs text-to-image?
Image-to-image (i2i) takes an existing image and an edit instruction, then returns a modified version preserving the original context. Text-to-image (t2i) generates a new image from a text prompt alone.
What is Flux Kontext Effects?
Flux Kontext Effects is a stylistic variant that applies cinematic, artistic, and creative effects to images. It can transform photos into specific visual styles, color grades, or art styles using a text description.
