FLUX.2 [dev]: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
The budget Flux 2 editor: up to 4 reference images, guided by your prompt, for 4 credits — no ratio picker. Open the Image Edit tool, select FLUX.2 [dev], upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
![Example output generated with FLUX.2 [dev]](/models-media/flux2-dev.jpg)
FLUX.2 [dev] is Black Forest Labs' entry-level tier in the second-generation Flux 2 line, and it's built for guided edits rather than fine-grained frame control: upload up to four reference images and describe the change in the prompt, and the model applies it, sized to whatever fits between roughly 512 and 2048 pixels per side based on your input. Unlike its sibling Flux 2 Pro I2I, there's no aspect-ratio menu or resolution selector to configure — that trade-off is exactly what keeps the price down.
At 4 credits it's the cheapest Flux model on VdoBloom, undercutting even Flux Kontext Pro's 7 credits, which makes it a reasonable first stop for a guided multi-image edit before reaching for a pricier tier with more controls. Unlike FLUX Erase and FLUX Outpainting, this one does read and apply your prompt normally — it's a standard text-guided editor, just without the ratio and resolution knobs.
VdoBloom rates it 3.9 and applies a MODERATE content badge — standard filtering, matching the rest of the Flux family here.
What it costs on VdoBloom
FLUX.2 [dev] is 4 credits per run, the cheapest editing model in VdoBloom's Flux lineup — a new account's 10 free credits cover two full runs with 2 left over. Cost is shown before you generate and refunded automatically on failure.
Choosing between FLUX.2 [dev] and Flux 2 Pro I2I
Both are the same second-generation Flux 2 family and both actually read your prompt (unlike FLUX Erase and Outpainting). The difference is control and price: [dev] takes up to 4 images with output sizing inferred from your input, for 4 credits; Pro I2I takes up to 8 images with an explicit aspect-ratio menu (including an auto mode) and 1K/2K resolution, for 12 credits. A reasonable workflow is drafting on [dev] and finishing on Pro I2I once you know the exact frame the deliverable needs.
What creators use FLUX.2 [dev] for
- Quick guided edits across up to 4 related reference images on a tight credit budget.
- Style-transfer or composite drafts where exact output dimensions aren't critical yet.
- A cheap first pass before committing to Flux 2 Pro I2I's resolution and ratio controls for the final version.

Frequently asked questions
How much does FLUX.2 [dev] cost on VdoBloom?
4 credits per run — the cheapest of VdoBloom's Flux editing tools. The price is shown before you generate, and refunded automatically if the job fails.
What do 10 free signup credits get me on FLUX.2 [dev]?
Two full runs, with 2 credits left over — the cheapest way to try Black Forest Labs' editing tools on a new account's free balance.
Does FLUX.2 [dev] use my prompt, or does it ignore it like FLUX Erase?
It uses it normally. Unlike FLUX Erase and FLUX Outpainting, which are mask- or slider-driven and explicitly ignore the prompt field, FLUX.2 [dev] is a standard text-guided editor — describe the change and it applies it across your reference images.
How many reference images can FLUX.2 [dev] take?
Up to 4 per job, all feeding the same guided edit.
Why doesn't FLUX.2 [dev] have an aspect ratio or resolution selector?
It's the budget tier of the Flux 2 line — output sizing follows your input images within roughly a 512-2048 pixel range per side, rather than a fixed selectable ratio or resolution. If you need explicit control over aspect ratio and a 1K/2K resolution choice, Flux 2 Pro I2I offers both for 12 credits.
Is FLUX.2 [dev] censored?
It carries VdoBloom's MODERATE content badge — standard provider filtering, the same tier as the rest of the Flux family here.
FLUX.2 [dev] vs Flux 2 Pro I2I — what am I giving up at the cheaper tier?
Both take multiple reference images and read your prompt normally. [dev] caps at 4 images with no ratio or resolution control for 4 credits; Pro I2I takes up to 8 images with a 7-ratio-plus-auto menu and 1K/2K resolution for 12 credits. [dev] is the fast, cheap draft tier; Pro I2I is the one to reach for once you know the exact frame and size you need.
Is FLUX.2 [dev] open source?
VdoBloom can't confirm this either way for the specific model hosted here — Black Forest Labs' original FLUX.1 [dev] and Kontext [dev] models are released with open weights, but that isn't established for this FLUX.2 [dev] release, so this page doesn't claim a license status for it.
