Capabilities

What's new in Flux 2 Max.

The quality ceiling of the family

It delivers the highest fidelity and photorealism across the Flux 2 lineup, aimed at final, production-grade deliverables.

Strongest prompt adherence

It follows complex, detailed, and long instructions more accurately than the Pro and Flex variants, supporting prompts up to 32k tokens.

Grounded generation

A standout feature: it can search the web for real-time context, so it can visualize trending products, current events, weather, or the latest styles without you sourcing reference material by hand.

Best-in-class editing consistency

It preserves colors, lighting, faces, text, and objects with exceptional fidelity, which makes edits and variations look reliable rather than regenerated.

Top character and brand consistency

Using up to 10 reference images, it keeps identities, products, and styles stable across large batches of outputs.

Precise retexturing and color control

It can re-skin products with new materials, colors, and finishes while preserving shape and geometry, and it accepts exact brand colors via hex codes.

Real Apiframe reviews from Trustpilot and G2.

Speeds up our ad creative iteration

The API integrates directly into my existing pipeline, so I can generate and iterate on image variations for Meta ads without jumping between tools. We can go from concept to a testable ad in the same day instead of spreading it across a week.

Ethan M. July 2026 G2

Fast, reliable, easy to integrate

Image generation requests are processed quickly, and the results are consistently high quality. Customer support has also been responsive whenever I had questions. It has saved me a lot of development time.

Nana Arianto July 2026 Trustpilot

Seamless integrations, effortless setup

Generating ad creatives for Facebook and Google ads is more streamlined now since we use APIFRAME to manage the workflow, which used to require a lot of time with official APIs. The initial setup was very easy, just a matter of using curl.
