FLUX Erase: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
Paint a mask, not a prompt — FLUX Erase removes the masked area and rebuilds it from context, 10 credits. Open the Image Edit tool, select FLUX Erase, upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
FLUX Erase does one job: you upload a source image, paint over the area you want gone in VdoBloom's built-in mask tool, and the model removes it and reconstructs what should be there from the surrounding pixels. There is no text prompt involved in what it actually does — the edit box still appears on the page, but the model ignores whatever you type there. Only the source image and the painted mask control the result, with an optional mask-dilation setting to expand the erased boundary by a few pixels for a cleaner blend.
It's a Black Forest Labs model, run through VdoBloom's Runware pipeline, and it's a single-purpose tool rather than a general editor — for edits where you need to describe what should appear in place of the removed area, Qwen Image 2.1 Edit's mask mode takes a prompt for exactly that, unlike Erase.
VdoBloom prices it at 10 credits per run, rates it 4.2, and applies a MODERATE content badge.
What it costs on VdoBloom
FLUX Erase is a flat 10 credits per job, which is exactly what a new account's 10 free signup credits cover — one full run before you'd need to add credits. The price is shown up front and refunded automatically on a failed job.
How FLUX Erase actually works — and what it ignores
This is the detail worth knowing before you use it: FLUX Erase does not read your prompt. VdoBloom's editor shows a prompt box for every edit model for consistency, but Erase discards whatever text is entered — only the source image and the mask you paint control what happens. If you're trying to specify what should replace the erased area rather than just remove it, use Qwen Image 2.1 Edit's mask mode instead, which does take a prompt for the fill content.
Common problems and how to avoid them
The most common gap between expectation and result with any mask-based erase tool is writing careful erase instructions and finding they made no difference — with FLUX Erase that's expected behavior, not a bug, since the prompt is ignored entirely. The practical fix is to spend the effort on the mask instead: paint generously around the object's edges and use the dilate setting on complex backgrounds. VdoBloom shows the credit cost before you run and refunds a failed job automatically.
What creators use FLUX Erase for
- Removing an unwanted object, watermark, or photobomb from a photo without describing a replacement.
- Cleaning up a background element before compositing the image elsewhere.
- Quick object removal passes where painting a mask is faster than writing an editing instruction.

Frequently asked questions
How much does FLUX Erase cost on VdoBloom?
10 credits per run. The cost shows before you confirm, and it's refunded automatically if the generation fails.
What do 10 free signup credits get me on FLUX Erase?
Exactly one erase job — a new account's 10 free credits cover a single 10-credit run.
Does FLUX Erase actually use the text prompt I type?
No. The prompt field is shown in VdoBloom's editor for interface consistency, but FLUX Erase ignores it entirely and reconstructs the erased area purely from the source image and your painted mask. Typing detailed erase instructions won't change the outcome — only what you paint matters.
What do I need to upload for FLUX Erase?
A source image, then a mask you paint directly in VdoBloom's browser tool marking what to erase (white areas are removed). Both are required — the job won't run with only a source image.
Is FLUX Erase censored?
It carries VdoBloom's MODERATE content badge — standard filtering. Since it's reconstructing existing image content rather than generating new scenes from a prompt, content refusals are uncommon in ordinary use.
FLUX Erase vs FLUX Outpainting — what's the difference?
Both are Black Forest Labs tools that ignore the text prompt by design. Erase removes a painted region and fills it in from surrounding context; Outpainting expands the canvas outward on one or more sides, generating new content beyond the original edges. Use Erase to take something out, Outpainting to extend the frame.
How is FLUX Erase different from a prompt-guided inpainting tool?
VdoBloom's Qwen Image 2.1 Edit has its own mask mode where you paint the area to change and then describe what should appear inside it — the prompt actively shapes the fill. FLUX Erase skips that step entirely: there's no way to specify a replacement, only removal-and-reconstruction from context. Pick Qwen 2.1's mask mode when you need to add or change something inside a masked region, and Erase when you just want something gone.
What does the dilate setting do on FLUX Erase?
It expands the painted mask boundary by a small pixel margin before erasing, which helps avoid a visible edge or halo around the removed area when the original mask was painted tightly against the object.
Why might my FLUX Erase result look blurry or mismatched at the edges?
Erase tools generally struggle more on complex backgrounds — busy textures, strong directional lighting, or an object that overlaps several different surfaces — since the model has to infer plausible content purely from what surrounds the mask. A slightly wider, more generous mask (with dilation) around the object usually blends better than a tight outline.
