Powerful In-context AI image editing, now open source
FLUX.1 Kontext by Black Forest Labs is a powerful model for in-context image editing. The 12B [dev] version is now open-weight, offering top-tier character and style consistency on consumer hardware.
FLUX.1 Kontext includes typography manipulation capabilities, allowing users to change text within images while ensuring seamless integration with the surrounding scene. This is useful for design work, localization, and creative projects requiring text modifications.
FLUX.1 Kontext supports local editing, allowing users to make precise modifications to specific image elements through text instructions. This enables selective changes (e.g., modifying one object) while preserving the rest of the image composition and quality.
FLUX.1 Kontext performs in-context image generation and editing by accepting both text prompts and reference images. Users can iteratively modify images (remove objects, change environments, adjust weather) while maintaining character consistency and contextual relationships, enabling fast creative workflows without complex manual editing.
FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] is an open-weights 12B parameter model that runs on consumer hardware, providing proprietary-level image editing performance without requiring API access. Users can download code from GitHub and self-host for full control and privacy.
FLUX.1 Kontext's character consistency feature preserves unique identity elements across multiple scenes and environments. Users provide a reference character or object and text prompts describing new scenarios, and the model generates coherent variations that maintain the subject's visual identity.
