Quick Win Prompt:
"Think of one visual you need for your business but don't have (a product in a specific setting, a concept illustration, a magazine-style cover featuring your work). Open the FLUX playground at playground.bfl.ai, write a detailed text prompt describing exactly what you want to see (include style, lighting, composition, and specific details), generate the image, and download your 4MP photorealistic result. You now have a professional visual asset you can use in your marketing, presentations, or social content today." Other Things Black Forest Labs Can Do:
- Multi-reference control: Upload multiple reference images and have FLUX combine elements from each (like taking a product from image 1, placing it in the setting from image 2, with the style of image 3) for precise brand consistency
- FLUX.1 Kontext: Use pre-built presets to transform images with zero prompts, making complex edits as simple as clicking a button for instant professional results
- Open weights deployment: Download the models and run them on your own infrastructure for complete control, unlimited generations, and custom fine-tuning for your specific brand needs
- Enterprise API integration: Scale image generation directly into your products, apps, or workflows with production-ready API built to handle high-volume commercial use
