Flux 2 Pro: Fast Photoreal AI Image Generation
Black Forest Labs' flagship model delivers state-of-the-art image quality in seconds. Generate 4MP photoreal images with up to 8 reference images — built for production workflows where speed and quality both matter.
Why Professionals Choose Flux 2 Pro AI Image Generator
Speed matters in production workflows. When you need photoreal images for campaigns, products, or content — waiting minutes for each generation kills momentum. Most AI models force a choice: fast results or quality results.
Flux 2 Pro eliminates this tradeoff. Built by Black Forest Labs on a 24B parameter vision-language architecture, it generates 4MP photoreal images in 3-5 seconds — without compromising quality. This is the model built for professionals who need both.
Lightning-Fast Generation
Flux 2 Pro doesn't make you wait:
- 3-5 seconds for 4MP output at any resolution
- No quality tradeoff — speed comes from architectural efficiency, not shortcuts
- Rapid iteration — test 10 variations in the time other models produce one
- Production-ready for high-volume workflows
When you're exploring concepts or meeting deadlines, Flux 2 Pro keeps pace with your ideas. Start with our text-to-image generator.
State-of-the-Art Photoreal Quality

- Photorealistic rendering that rivals the best closed models
- Accurate lighting and shadows with proper material properties
- Natural skin tones without the waxy AI look
- Coherent compositions with correct spatial relationships
The model's vision-language foundation provides real-world knowledge — it understands how light behaves, how materials interact, and how objects relate in space.
Multi-Reference Image Generation
Maintain visual consistency across your work:
- Up to 8 reference images for character and style guidance
- Identity preservation across unlimited generations
- Precise style transfer from reference to output
- Coherent visual campaigns without manual matching
Upload your brand assets, character references, or style examples — Flux 2 Pro maintains consistency that previously required expensive photo shoots. Try our image-to-image tool to experience multi-reference generation.
What's New in Flux 2 Pro vs Flux 1
Flux 2 Pro, released November 2025, represents a generational leap from the original Flux 1 series:
| Feature | Flux 1.0 | Flux 2 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Max Resolution | 1MP | 4MP |
| Reference Images | None | 8 |
| Generation Speed | ~10-15s | ~5s |
| Photorealism | Good | State-of-the-art |
| Typography | Basic | Improved |
| Prompt Following | Good | Advanced |
| Real-World Knowledge | Limited | VLM-powered |
| Architecture | Flow matching | 24B VLM + Flow transformer |
Note: Flux 1.1 Pro introduced 4MP support and faster speeds. Flux 2 Pro builds on this with multi-reference capabilities.
Key Upgrades in Flux 2 Pro
4x Resolution Increase: From 1MP to 4MP native output. Every pixel is intentionally rendered, not upscaled. Details that were previously impossible now render cleanly.
8x Reference Capacity: Support for up to 8 reference images enables true multi-reference workflows. Maintain character identity, style consistency, and visual coherence across entire campaigns.
4-5x Faster Generation: 3-5 seconds instead of 15-20 seconds. This isn't incremental — it transforms how you work. Rapid iteration, quick exploration, and production-scale output become practical.
Vision-Language Foundation: The 24B parameter Mistral-3 VLM brings real-world knowledge to generation. The model understands context, spatial relationships, and material properties that earlier architectures couldn't capture.
