FLUX.2 Max Text to Image example
Example — generated from this input

Ultra-realistic studio product photograph of a sleek matte-black electric motorcycle on a polished concrete floor, dramatic rim lighting tracing its curves, reflections on brushed aluminum and carbon fiber, a soft haze in the background, low three-quarter camera angle, precise material detail and true-to-life shadows. No logos, no text.

Pricing

Unit price $0.07 / megapixel

Billed by the actual pixels of each image; larger sizes and more images cost more. 1024×1024 is about 1 megapixel.

Typically about $0.07 per request at default settings.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.07007; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.
