- Describe what to generate, or the change to make.
- aspect_ratio enumdefault SQUARE_1K10 options
- The shape and size of the output.
- quality enumdefault HIGHLOW, MEDIUM, HIGH
- Higher levels render more detail, and can take longer and cost more.
- prompt_enhancement enumdefault AUTOAUTO, OFF, STANDARD
- Let the model rewrite the prompt before generating.
- seed integer
- The starting point for the model's randomness. The same seed and settings give the same result.
- guidance_scale numberdefault 2.50–20
- How closely the result follows the prompt. Lower gives the model more freedom.
- inference_steps integerdefault 284–50
- How many refinement passes the model makes. More add detail and take longer.

Why use FLUX.2 [dev] Edit for image?
High-precision prompt edits with improved structural stability
FLUX.2 Dev Edit specializes in targeted refinements (outfit changes, color shifts, pose tweaks, and material adjustments) while preserving the character’s core identity. Its upgraded structural accuracy gives teams reliable control over edits without unwanted distortion.
Clean material handling and consistent texture updates
This model intelligently updates surface details, lighting, and textures during edits while keeping the original design intact. FLUX.2 Dev Edit is ideal for refining cosmetics, adjusting environment elements, or applying theme variations in a stable, production-safe way.
Built for iterative LiveOps and UA content updates
FLUX.2 Dev Edit allows teams to generate fast, consistent variants of existing assets for seasonal drops, shop refreshes, or performance-driven UA tweaks. Its speed and reliability make it strong for workflows that require constant asset evolution.

Character refinements and cosmetic updates with precise control
Quickly adjust outfit materials, recolor themes, refine poses, or tweak facial expressions while preserving the original character’s structure. FLUX.2 Dev Edit is ideal for LiveOps skins, alternate cosmetics, and theme-specific variations.

UA creative polishing and rapid variant testing
Tighten lighting, rebalance focal points, adjust backgrounds, or apply themed effects to improve ad readability and performance. The model’s predictable behavior helps UA teams generate performance-driven updates without regenerating the entire asset.

Environment and item edits for content packs and seasonal events
Recolor objects, refine environmental details, apply seasonal accents, or clean up visual noise without losing depth or perspective. FLUX.2 Dev Edit’s improved material consistency ensures polished results across full asset packs.

How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
