FLUX by Black Forest Labs
Image generation models and related creation tools
- Image & design · editorial fit
Overview
FLUX by Black Forest Labs is a model platform with a browser playground, API, and downloadable/open-weight offerings. Users can experiment with image and video models in the playground, integrate generation through the API, or deploy selected models on their own infrastructure with control over customization and fine-tuning.
The current Black Forest Labs site presents FLUX as infrastructure for creators, developers, and enterprises rather than a single editing application. Model releases, licensing paths, and deployment options differ, so the selected model and license must be checked before production use.
Supported use cases
Creative model exploration
Test image or video directions in the browser before committing to a workflow.
Product embedding
Integrate FLUX generation into an application through the API.
Private model deployment
Download and customize a supported model for controlled infrastructure or domain-specific work.
Limitations
Model-specific licensing
The site separates API, open-weights, self-hosted, and non-commercial terms; review the selected model's license before commercial deployment.

Hosted playground generation

Open-weight deployment
