• Multi-reference editing - Supports up to 8 reference images via API for complex multi-image compositing workflows          

Use Cases      

FLUX.2 [flex] is specialized for workflows where accurate text rendering and fine-grained visual control are non-negotiable. It excels across brand design, product UI prototyping, social graphics, and any project requiring readable typography, precise layouts, or clean on-brand assets. 

Brand and Graphic Design 

• Generate precise, on-brand graphic design assets with clean, readable typography across logos, packaging, and marketing collateral 

• Iterate across typefaces, layout styles, and color systems without sacrificing text accuracy or fine detail 

• Produce production-ready social graphics and campaign visuals with correctly rendered copy           

Creative & Media Production 

• Render multi-word headlines, body copy blocks, and editorial layouts that adapt seamlessly to any style. Modern, classic, handwritten, or dynamic 3D lettering   

• Generate magazine covers, editorial spreads, and text-heavy visual layouts with correctly spaced, readable fonts at production quality         

• Test copywriting concepts and headline variations at 3x the speed of previous-generation models 

Product UI Prototyping       

• Rapidly prototype product UIs with rich text components, accurate button labels, navigation copy, and on-screen text      

• Build and iterate on app screens, dashboards, and design systems where text legibility and layout precision are critical 

💡Tip: Use FLUX.2 [pro] in Microsoft Foundry when your workflow prioritizes photorealistic imagery or cinematic-quality final renders, rather than text-forward or graphic design outputs.
