FLUX.1 Kontext Max Image to Image example

Hang a small hand-painted wooden sign on the wall behind the shelves that reads "SLOW CLAY STUDIO" in cream capital letters. Keep the woman, her pose, the pottery wheel, the shelves and the warm lighting exactly the same.

Pricing

Unit price $0.08 / image

Billed by the number of images actually generated.

~12 images per $1

Each request temporarily reserves $0.08; 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.
