Black Forest Labs has officially launched FLUX.2 [max] — its most advanced image generation model yet. The new model is already live on Overchat AI, and you can start creating with FLUX.2 [max].
This is the most advanced model in the FLUX.2 family, designed for professional-grade output. You can use it to edit images, create cinematic visuals, and make stunning AI art.
What’s more, it can do many things that Nano Banana Pro can and at a cheaper price. While a full comparison of Flux 2 Max vs. Nano Banana Pro is coming soon, here’s what you should know about the new model right now.
FLUX.2 [max] is Black Forest Labs' state-of-the-art image generation and editing model. It’s the most powerful model in the FLUX.2 family, designed for professional and creative work.
Where it gets really interesting is if we compare FLUX.2 [max] with Google's Nano Banana Pro, as both models have similar capabilities, including real-time data access for context-aware generations, and support for image editing and reference-to-image generation.
Where do these models differ and when should you use each?
Nano Banana Pro is technically the most advanced model in the world, with exceptional, almost flawless ability to adhere to prompts.
FLUX.2 [max] is more creative and delivers polished, vibrant, and sometimes striking images that you wouldn’t believe are AI-generated.
Compared to other FLUX.2 variants, [max] is a huge improvement in overall image fidelity, style, and detail rendering, making it ideal for advanced use-cases — anything from product photography to concept art.
Core Features Of FLUX.2 [max]
Let's take a look at the features of this new image-to-image and text-to-image generator. It has some truly amazing, world-leading capabilities!
Real-Time Data Access
FLUX.2 [max]’s killer feature is that it can create accurate images by looking up information it doesn’t know, by doing web browsing. This happens completely in the background, and the model will smartly decide when it needs to activate this feature based on context.
This allows for use cases like this, where we asked to create a 3D image of London and provide weather forecast for December 15 2025:
Thanks to real-time data access, the model can draw on real-world knowledge to create context-rich visuals that are both meaningful and factually accurate. Google first introduced this feature in Nano Banana Pro, and FLUX.2 [max] is currently the second model in the world to be able to do this.
Edit Images And Use References
FLUX.2 [max] has near-perfect instruction following for image editing. This means you can control every aspect of an image with precise text-based adjustments. You can:
Edit images with natural language
Control the camera: Zoom in, shift focus, move camera up 2 meters and point down
Relight scenes
Adjust aspect ratios
What’s more, you can give the model a reference image, and it can interpret your instructions and realistically alter the object, or transfer some of its aspects onto other objects.
For example, we asked FLUX.2 [max] to turn our logo into a marble statue.
And we asked to place our logo on the façade of a skyscraper at night.
Create Cinematic Visuals
With true 2.39:1 cinematic framing, this model delivers the genuine widescreen look of Hollywood films and high-end creative productions.
This ability will be extremely useful for filmmakers, art directors, producers and anyone who wants to generate images that look like genuine movie scenes — and it’s the only model that can do this consistently at this quality level. Here’s an example from Black Forest Labs. Does it not look stunning?
Every frame is filled with realistic texture, lifelike film grain, and rich details.
Accurate Text Rendering
FLUX.2 [MAX] is perfect for rendering text accurately. It can incorporate multiple fonts into scenes or wrap them around objects realistically, making it ideal for ads, posters, flyers, magazine covers and any other application where text needs to be featured prominently as part of the overall composition or design.
Here is a reference scene that uses multiple materials with text rendered onto an object in perspective.
