01 · Overview
What is FLUX 1 Kontext Max?
Kontext Max is the top of the Kontext line: the same context-aware editing as Pro, with a stronger model behind it. Complex scenes, fine detail and subtle lighting changes all hold together better — the edit you asked for, and nothing you didn't.
Every job costs 11 credits — text-to-image or edit, one reference or four. Outputs land around 1MP. New accounts start with 20 free credits: one Max image and change, or three on Pro.
Specs & capabilities
| Inputs | Text to image · Image editing · Multi-reference (up to 4 in the studio) |
| Resolution | About 1MP output |
| Aspect ratios | 7 ratios in the studio, from 1:1 square to 16:9 wide |
| Output formats | PNG |
| Pricing shape | Flat $0.064 per image upstream — priced here at exactly 11 credits, generation and edits alike. |
Good to know: Max costs nearly twice Pro's 6 credits — spend it where the context hold matters: complex scenes, fine detail, product and portrait edits where a drifted detail ruins the shot. For everyday edits, Kontext Pro is the value pick.

Why creators pick FLUX 1 Kontext Max
The tightest context hold
The sunset edit above changed the light and nothing else — the lighthouse's silhouette, the waterfall paths, the island's edge are all exactly where they were. Max is the editor for images where a drifted detail is a failed edit.

Storybook scenes from text

Prompt guide
- Save Max for the shots that matter: product, portrait and brand edits where a drifted detail ruins the image.
- Name what must not change: “change the sky to sunset, keep the lighthouse and waterfalls exactly as they are” — Max obeys the constraint tighter than any other editor here.
- Edit in small rounds: one change per generation keeps the image stable across a long session.
- Pro for volume: Kontext Pro (6 credits) handles everyday edits — use Max where the stakes justify the price.
