About This Template
Flux 2 Klein 4b (FLUX.2 klein 4B) is a compact, open-source image generation and editing model from Black Forest Labs designed for near real-time and production use. Distilled from the larger FLUX 2 family, it delivers high visual fidelity, accurate lighting, coherent spatial relationships, and remarkably readable text—while remaining efficient enough to run on modest hardware. Key capabilities: - Speed for production: 4-step distilled generation with sub-second inference on capable hardware - Photoreal quality up to 4 megapixels with strong lighting and perspective consistency - Clean text rendering for UI mockups, posters, and infographics - Image-to-image editing with up to 5 input references for style/character/product consistency - Open-source (Apache 2.0) for commercial and custom use How it works: - Latent flow matching with a rectified flow transformer for efficient, stable generation - Vision-language guidance (based on Mistral 3) for semantic understanding and composition - Specialized VAE for crisp details and reliable high-resolution outputs Inputs you can control: - prompt (required): Natural language description of the desired image - images (optional): Up to 5 images for image-to-image edits or multi-reference consistency (jpeg, png, gif, webp) - aspect_ratio (optional): Common ratios or match_input_image to follow the first image - output_megapixels (optional): 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 megapixels - seed (optional): Set for reproducible results - go_fast (optional): Extra runtime optimizations for even faster inference - output_format (optional): jpg, png, or webp - output_quality (optional): 0–100 (for lossy formats) - disable_safety_checker (optional): Toggle model-side safety checks Output: - An array of URLs (URIs) pointing to the generated image(s) Best practices: - Be specific: describe lighting, materials, lens, mood, and composition - For brand work: include exact hex colors and layout instructions - For consistency: provide multiple references in images and refer to them in the prompt - For reproducibility: set a seed and keep parameters fixed across runs Ideal use cases: - Marketing visuals, product shots, and rapid creative iterations - UI/UX mockups, slides, posters, and social assets with readable typography - Storyboards and campaigns needing consistent characters or styles - Fast image-to-image edits for prototyping and production pipelines
Template Workflow
How to Use This Template
Step 1: Enter your text in 'Text' Node
In the 'Text' node, enter your instructions.
A surreal underwater or cosmic garden scene with bioluminescent flora against a deep navy blue to black background. Delicate, feather-like structures in pale icy blue and white emerge from the left side, resembling ethereal ferns or coral fronds with intricate fractal patterns. These luminous fronds transition into a cloud-like dispersal of particles and spores floating through the dark space, creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. On the right side, dense clusters of vegetation in deep greens, blues, and purple-pink tones form an organic canopy. The foliage includes pine-like needles, flowering bushes in blue and magenta hues, and various plant forms creating depth and texture. Small glowing particles and orbs of light are scattered throughout the scene like floating pollen or bioluminescent plankton. The overall composition creates a mystical, otherworldly environment that blends elements of deep sea bioluminescence with alien botanical landscapes. Cinematic lighting with cool color palette dominated by blues, teals, and deep greens. Photorealistic rendering with soft focus effects and atmospheric depth. With large white text in the center: "FLUX.2 [klein] 4B"

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flux 2 Klein 4b (FLUX.2 klein 4B)?
A 4B-parameter, open-source image model distilled from the larger FLUX 2 family. It delivers fast, high-quality image generation and editing with accurate lighting, strong spatial reasoning, and readable text.
How fast is it in practice?
It uses a 4-step distilled flow pipeline designed for sub-second inference on capable hardware, making it suitable for interactive and production scenarios. Actual latency depends on hardware, resolution, and settings.
Does it support image-to-image editing?
Yes. Provide up to 5 input images to guide edits, maintain style or character consistency, or blend references. Describe how each image should influence the output in your prompt.
What output resolutions are supported?
You can select 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 megapixels via the output_megapixels parameter. Higher values preserve more detail but increase compute time.
Can it render readable text?
Yes. Unlike many small models, Flux 2 Klein 4b produces clean, legible text for posters, UI screens, and infographics.
How do I make results reproducible?
Set the seed parameter and keep other parameters (prompt, aspect ratio, output megapixels, etc.) constant across runs.
Which aspect ratios and formats can I use?
Common aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 5:4, 4:5, 21:9, 9:21) plus match_input_image. Output formats include jpg, png, and webp.
What is go_fast and when should I use it?
go_fast enables additional runtime optimizations to reduce latency. It’s useful for real-time experiences or when throughput is critical.
Is it suitable for commercial use?
Yes. Flux 2 Klein 4b is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing commercial use, modification, and distribution.
How does it compare to larger FLUX 2 models?
The klein variant prioritizes speed and efficiency while retaining many capabilities of its teacher model. For absolute top-tier quality, larger FLUX 2 models may perform better; for most production needs, klein offers an excellent balance.
Does it include safety controls?
It has safety measures from training and supports a disable_safety_checker toggle. Keep in mind best practices and platform policies when generating content.
Any prompt tips for best results?
Be explicit about subject, lighting, materials, style, camera/lens, and composition. For brand fidelity, include hex colors and layout instructions. Provide multiple reference images when consistency matters.
