Guide to Using FLUX Kontext Image References

What are FLUX Kontext References?

Kontext References allow you to use an existing image as inspiration or as a direct visual reference when generating new images. This feature is available in Image Generator with the FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] model selected.

For example, you can:

• Copy or adapt the visual style from your reference image.

• Extract or incorporate specific elements like objects, patterns, clothing, or design details into new scenes.

• Combine visual references with text prompts for entirely new creations.

Step-by-Step Guide to Kontext References

Step 1: Open Image Generator and Select FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]

Open getimg.ai, navigate to the Image Generator, and select the FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] model from the available options.

Step 2: Describe Your Desired Image

Write a clear, conversational description of what you want the AI to create. Examples include:

• "Turn this into a futuristic cityscape."

• "Use the fabric pattern from this dress to create a matching jacket."

• "Make this character into an action figure displayed in a toy box."

Step 3: Upload Your Reference Image

Under the Image Reference section, add the image you'd like to use as a reference. You can upload your image in these ways:

• From your device: drag and drop the file into the upload area, or click the upload button and manually select the image.

• From previous generation results: drag an existing generated image or hover over it and click the "Use as image reference" icon.

Step 4: Generate

Click Generate to create your new image. After a short wait, your image will appear. Carefully review the results to ensure they match your vision.

If needed, continue iterating by using your generated image as a reference for further creations. However, if you plan on extensive edits to a single image, we recommend switching to the Text Editing feature in the Image Editor, also powered by FLUX.1 Kontext [pro].
