Website: All Image AI

Language: English

FLUX.2 is the most consistently praised model for realism, particularly skin texture, metal and glass, and natural light falloff. It is also the most tunable model on this site: Guidance, Steps, Strength and Safety Tolerance are all exposed, so if you are willing to turn knobs you can get closer to what you actually pictured.

## Model details

## Best for

- Photoreal portraits and photographic texture
- Material detail: metal, glass, fabric
- Cinematic scenes and lighting
- Final renders where tuning is worth the time

## How to use

1. Select FLUX.2.
2. Write a photographic prompt: subject, lighting, lens, grade.
3. Open Advanced and adjust Guidance and Steps.
4. Upscale the final render for print sizes.

## Settings explained

### Guidance

How hard the model sticks to the prompt. 2.5–3 for realism, 4+ for graphic and illustrative work.

### Steps

28 is the value-for-money knee. Pushing to 50 rarely pays off.

### Image Strength

Image-to-image only. 0.3–0.5 keeps the original composition; above 0.8 is effectively a repaint.

### Safety Tolerance

Shifts the content filter threshold. Keep the default for commercial assets.

## Prompt examples

### Photoreal portrait

> Portrait of a woman in her 30s, natural skin texture, soft window light from the left, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, muted color grading

Keep Guidance around 2.5–3; higher makes skin look fake.

### Material study

> A brushed titanium watch on dark slate, single hard light source, sharp specular highlights, macro detail

## Limitations

- In-image text is weaker than Ideogram or Nano Banana Pro
- Many parameters means a steeper learning curve
- High Guidance quickly produces a plastic look

## Commercial use and image handling

Commercial use is subject to BFL's licence terms; output may be used in commercial projects.

Uploads are processed by the configured inference service. You can delete a generation from your history.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can FLUX.2 render text in the image?

Short headlines, yes. For long copy or non-Latin scripts, switch to Ideogram 3 or Nano Banana Pro.

### What Guidance value should I use?

2.5–3 for realistic scenes, 4–5 for illustration. Fix the seed first so you can compare values fairly.
