If you’ve followed us for any amount of time, you know we’re big fans of the FLUX model and the work coming out of Black Forest Labs. FLUX powers many of our default game styles and is the backbone of most custom style training on Layer.
Which is why we’re very excited to bring the latest FLUX model to Layer: FLUX Kontext 🎉
It’s fast, flexible, and fully integrated into Layer - built to support real production workflows. But this one’s not just about generating new art. Kontext is all about editing. It lets you change specific parts of an image, stay on brand, and move through creative iterations without losing the magic.
Unlike traditional models that only work from text prompts, Kontext lets you combine text and images to make precise, controlled edits. That means you can build on your work step by step, without breaking structure or introducing weird inconsistencies.
Model strengths
FLUX.1 Kontext is built for the realities of professional content creation. It’s not just for making a new image - it’s for working with the ones you already have and evolving them with accuracy, consistency, and speed.
Here’s what sets it apart:
Precise Prompting & Local Editing
Get exactly what you ask for. Kontext responds well to detailed inputs, giving you consistent results when describing changes to outfits, lighting, props, or environments. Want to change one thing in the image? Do it without affecting the rest. Swap a background, tweak a costume, remove an object - quickly and cleanly.
Context awareness & consistency
Feed it an image and a prompt. Kontext understands relationships between visual elements — so your edits feel natural and nothing breaks along the way. No more strange bleed or unintended changes. Keep faces, poses, silhouettes, and style locked in across edits. Perfect for character variations, key art iterations, or updating scenes without repainting from scratch.
Try FLUX Kontext today
FLUX Kontext is live now. Just pick it as a style in a Layer 2D forge session, start with a prompt, and get going. It’s also available under our Refine tools as a Prompt Edit option. Try reworking a background, making batch edits to a character’s outfit, or just test how far you can push an asset while staying on style.
Whether you’re updating in-game assets, reworking key art, or speeding up your concepting process - Kontext gives you the control to do it faster, without starting over.
Give it a try now on Layer: app.layer.ai
