# Black Forest Labs FLUX > Frontier AI research lab offering production-grade image generation and editing models with 4MP photorealistic output and multi-reference control. Black Forest Labs develops FLUX, a suite of frontier AI image generation and editing models designed for production-grade visual intelligence. The platform offers multiple model tiers including FLUX.2 max, pro, and flex variants, delivering photorealistic 4MP output with advanced multi-reference control capabilities. Users can access these models through a web playground, API integration, or by downloading open weights for self-hosted deployment. - **FLUX.2 Models** provide the most capable image generation with highest editing consistency, vast world knowledge, and strongest prompt following across various artistic styles - **Multi-Reference Control** enables users to combine multiple input images for precise editing, style transfer, and object replacement tasks - **API Integration** offers simple-to-integrate endpoints built for production workloads at any scale, with per-megapixel pricing - **Open Weights** allow full model access for deployment on your own infrastructure with complete control over fine-tuning and customization - **Playground Environment** lets users experiment with advanced models directly in the browser with zero code required - **Kontext Models** deliver unified local editing, generative modifications, and text-to-image generation with character consistency across multiple editing turns - **Inpainting and Outpainting** through FLUX.1 Fill enables state-of-the-art image modification using text prompts and binary masks - **Fine-tuning Support** available across multiple model variants including ultra, depth, canny, and fill configurations To get started, users can try the playground at playground.bfl.ai for immediate experimentation, integrate via the documented API at docs.bfl.ai, or download models from Hugging Face and GitHub for self-hosted deployment. Enterprise customers can contact sales for custom licensing and scaling solutions. ## Features - 4MP photorealistic image generation - Multi-reference image control - Text-to-image generation - Image editing and modification - Inpainting and outpainting - Style transfer - Character consistency across edits - Typography generation - Fine-tuning support - Open weights deployment - API access - Web playground ## Integrations Hugging Face, GitHub ## Platforms WEB, API ## Pricing Paid ## Version FLUX.2 ## Links - Website: https://blackforestlabs.ai - Documentation: https://docs.bfl.ai/ - Repository: https://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/black-forest-labs-flux
