About this service

Black Forest Labs offers FLUX models for generating and editing images and video, priced per image or megapixel, with no subscriptions. Fits if you or a developer need to build generation into your own product or automation; for an owner without a technical team it is raw material rather than a ready app.

automatic generation of product images in your own system through the API
edit and extend photos (outpainting, erase) in a workflow
embed image generation into a website through a contractor

Who it suits

technical teams
content automation

Strengths

transparent price per image, no subscriptions
wide choice of models from cheap to maximum quality

Limitations

no free tier on the pricing page
self-hosting licenses have no public prices
