Access FLUX.1 Canny [dev] from Black Forest Labs using the Puter.js AI API.
Get Started
Model Card
FLUX.1 Canny [dev] is a 12 billion parameter open-weight model from Black Forest Labs that generates images conditioned on a canny edge map extracted from an input image, alongside a text prompt.
It preserves the structure and composition of the source image while a prompt drives style, texture, and content changes, useful for turning sketches into finished art, retexturing objects, or controlled style transfer.
The model was trained with guidance distillation, making it more efficient than a standard classifier-free-guidance model of the same size, and its weights are downloadable from Hugging Face. Black Forest Labs positions it just below the production Canny [pro] variant in output quality.

FLUX 3
FLUX 3 is Black Forest Labs' multimodal foundation model, a change from the company's previous FLUX.1 and FLUX.2 releases, which were image-only. It is trained jointly on images, video, and audio using an architecture BFL calls Self-Flow, and is the company's first model to generate video and audio from the same set of weights. The video capability supports text-to-video, image-to-video, video-to-video editing, video continuation, and keyframe-based transitions, producing clips up to 20 seconds long in HD (1 megapixel per frame) or Full HD (2 megapixels per frame). It generates optional native audio alongside the video, including multilingual dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise. Black Forest Labs reports FLUX 3 Video ranks highest in Elo ratings for text-to-video and image-to-video among models it compared, including Gemini Omni Flash, Minimax H3, and Seedance 2.0. FLUX 3 Video became generally available on August 5, 2026.
ImageFLUX.2 [klein] 4B
FLUX.2 Klein 4B is a compact, Apache 2.0 licensed model distilled from the full FLUX.2 architecture, capable of sub-second image generation on consumer GPUs with ~13GB VRAM. It supports text-to-image, image editing, and multi-reference generation in a unified model.
ImageFLUX.2 [klein] 9B
FLUX.2 Klein 9B is a larger variant of the Klein family built on a 9B flow model with an 8B Qwen3 text embedder, matching or exceeding models 5x its size in quality. It offers higher output diversity than the 4B distilled variant and is ideal for fine-tuning and research.
