Pick it if
you want text-heavy visuals: diagrams, infographics, charts, posters, comics
you need multilingual text rendered inside the image
you edit supplied images, including inpainting
Skip it if
you need 4K output; OpenAI states resolutions up to 2K
a cheaper face such as FLUX 3 or Ideogram 4 covers your work
Black Forest Labs' top-tier FLUX.2 image model for generation and editing, above FLUX.2 Pro, Flex and Klein. It is the only FLUX.2 tier that can search the web to ground an image in current information.
Pick it if
you need the highest editing consistency in the FLUX.2 family
the image depends on current events, weather or other live web facts
you combine several reference images and must keep identity intact
Skip it if
FLUX.2 Pro or Klein already meet your quality bar at a lower per-image price
you need open weights to self-host; only Klein and Dev are open
