Flux Kontext

What if you could restyle, rebuild, or remix any image — with full control — and no cloud?”
That’s the promise of FLUX.1 Kontext [dev], a brand-new open-source image editing model that runs entirely on your machine. No server. No latency. No restrictions. Just pure, local AI power.
And it’s already live in Promptus, the modular visual editor that’s quickly becoming every artist’s favorite AI playground.
What Is FLUX.1 Kontext?
Think of it as:
🛠️ Stable Diffusion meets Photoshop, minus the cloud.
FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] is an image generation and editing model built for real creators — the kind who don’t just want to make pretty pictures, but control them.
It lets you:
✅ Restyle an image into bold aesthetics (Pop Art? Pencil sketch? Your call)
✅ Remove or replace any object — and the model fills in the context intelligently
✅ Inject ASCII-style text directly into an image
✅ Preserve a character across environments (consistency mode = on)
✅ Shift lighting and time of day with just a prompt
✅ Rotate the camera view of the same object
✅ Run multi-step edits, layering changes progressively
✅ Do it all locally, inside ComfyUI — right on your GPU
🎨 See It in Action
We ran FLUX through a set of creative stress tests. Here’s what it pulled off:
🎭 Restyle Anything
We took a neutral cityscape and applied a 1960s Pop Art style with just one prompt and a style reference image.
🖼 Original → 💥 Bold halftone colors, heavy lines, comic-book textures.
🧱 Edit and Rebuild, Seamlessly
We dropped in an image of a girl holding a sword. Then we said: “remove the sword.”
⚡ FLUX filled in the arm, sleeve, and background — like it was never there.
🔁 Character Consistency
We prompted the same character into four scenes — jungle, cyberpunk alley, desert, arctic base.
🎯 The look stayed identical: same hairstyle, outfit, face. Only the background shifted.
⌨️ Text Injection
Prompt: “Add ASCII text: ‘IN’ to the wall.”
🧱 Result: the letters appeared integrated into the texture — not copy-pasted, but styled in.
⚙️ What Makes This Different?
Most AI image tools today still rely on cloud servers or limited UIs.
FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] flips that.
🖥️ It runs locally on your GPU
🧩 It plugs into ComfyUI, the node-based interface that lets you chain logic visually
🧠 It’s open-source — you can inspect the architecture, remix workflows, even fork it
That means more privacy, more speed, and way more freedom.
Creators who want precision.
Designers who care about visual language.
Developers building tools on top of AI.
Researchers testing workflows with full control.
If you’ve ever wanted to edit your image with logic, context, and creativity — not just hit “generate” and hope — this is for you.
