Input

Prompt(string)

The prompt to generate an image from.

Image URL(string)

Upload

PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF · 20 MiB maximum

The URL of the image to generate an image from.

This field is required.

Guidance scale (CFG)(number)

120

The CFG (Classifier Free Guidance) scale is a measure of how close you want the model to stick to your prompt when looking for a related image to show you. Range: 1 to 20.

Num Inference Steps(integer)

1050

The number of inference steps to perform. Range: 10 to 50.

Strength(number)

0.011

The strength of the initial image. Higher strength values are better for this model. Range: 0.01 to 1.

Output Format(string)

The format of the generated image. Allowed values: jpeg, png.

Seed(integer)

The same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of the model will output the same image every time.

API README

Flux 1 Dev Edit

Flux 1 Dev Edit uses the development-oriented FLUX model for source-image revision, allowing object, background, style, color, and composition changes while retaining the reference as visual context. It brings editable behavior into experimental and customizable pipelines rather than limiting FLUX.1 Dev to prompt-only creation.

Use it for local editing prototypes, custom tools, research, and adapted revision workflows. Explain the desired final state, identify what must stay unchanged, and describe how new content should match perspective, material, light, texture, and subject identity across the edited image.

Highlights

Development-grade image editing. Applies natural-language changes inside a customizable FLUX workflow.
Source-context understanding. Uses the existing image to guide geometry, identity, and appearance.
Preservation-aware reconstruction. Keeps unrequested regions connected to the original composition.
Custom editing research. Supports experimentation with adaptation and source-led generation behavior.

When to Use

✅ Good fit	❌ Consider alternatives
The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output	A different input modality or model route is required
A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline	A synchronous, interactive editor is essential
The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format	The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema
Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure	Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory
A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable	Editable source layers or a native project file are required

Prompt Guide

For image-conditioned generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.

Questions

FAQ

How do I call BFL Flux 1 Dev Edit through SandBase?

Create a SandBase API key, then send requests with the model ID "bfl/flux-1/dev/edit" to Unified Run API (/v1/run) at https://api.sandbase.ai. The request examples on this page show the exact payload.

Do I need a separate BFL account?

No. One SandBase API key and balance gives you access to BFL Flux 1 Dev Edit and the other models in the catalog; you do not need to sign up with BFL separately.
