Flux.1 just leveled up: Four useful new tools you need to know
Flux.1 Tools: More creative control for Image Generation
Black Forest Labs has unveiled FLUX.1 Tools, a suite of models aimed at giving creators improved control and precision when working with images, whether real or AI-generated.
These tools are built to complement Flux.1, their flagship text-to-image model, and feature four key tools designed to expand creative possibilities:
FLUX.1 Fill – Advanced inpainting and outpainting models for edits and image expansion.
FLUX.1 Depth – Structural guidance based on depth maps, preserving an image’s original 3D-like structure during editing.
FLUX.1 Canny – Edge-based guidance for precise structural control.
FLUX.1 Redux – An adapter for image variations and restyling using prompts.
Here’s a closer look at each tool and what they bring to the table.
Flux.1 Fill: Edit and Expand your art
FLUX.1 Fill takes inpainting and outpainting to new heights.
The advanced Inpainting tool takes image editing to the next level, delivering seamless adjustments that blend perfectly with the original image.
Outpainting empowers us to effortlessly extend images beyond their original borders, blending new elements seamlessly.
Flux.1 Depth & Canny: Easier retexture for your images
By using depth maps to preserve the original structure, it enables seamless text-guided edits while maintaining the core composition. This makes it especially powerful for retexturing and refining images.
Depth models rely on a depth map to maintain the 3D-like structure of the image.
Canny models use edge detection to ensure edits respect the original composition.
This precision is particularly useful for retexturing or making subtle adjustments without losing the essence of the original image.
Flux.1 Redux: Image Variations and Restyling
FLUX.1 Redux is your go-to for creating slight variations or entirely new interpretations of existing images. By combining an input image with a text prompt, Redux can adjust the style, mood, or details of an image while maintaining its essence.
Why Flux.1 Tools matter
The release of Flux.1 Tools reinforces Black Forest Labs’ dedication to empowering both developers and professionals. Flux has solidified its position as a leading AI art model across platforms—second only to Midjourney, of course.
With partnerships through platforms like Freepik, Krea.ai, Fal.ai, and Replicate, Flux.1 Tools are poised to integrate fast into existing creative ecosystems.
