Made with Flux Kontext Fast

Alternatives to Flux Kontext Fast
Other models on Upsampler that cover similar ground.
Flux Kontext Pro
Black Forest Labs' instruction-based image editor — describe an edit in plain English ('replace the background with a sunset beach', 'change the shirt to red') and get a clean result that preserves the rest of the scene. Strong identity and lighting consistency makes it production-ready for outfit swaps, background replacement, and prop changes.
Nano Banana 2 (edit)
Google DeepMind's Gemini 3-powered flagship for text-to-image. Renders up to 4K with industry-leading prompt adherence, native multi-image references, and web search grounding for factual scenes. Ideal for product photography with brand consistency, character series across multi-shot campaigns, and complex compositional work that benefits from compositing several references at once.
Seedream 4.5 (edit)
ByteDance's flagship cinematic image model. Top-tier in the Seedream lineup for color, mood, and editorial stylization, with stronger spatial understanding than 4.0 — convincing depth, perspective, and prop placement. Pair with Seedream 5 Lite for high-volume iteration once you've nailed the look.
