Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from text-to-image?
Image editing models take an existing image plus an instruction and preserve composition where possible. Text-to-image regenerates from scratch. For consistent edits across a series, image-edit models are usually the right tool.
Do I need to provide a mask?
No — Flux Kontext, GPT-Image, and Reve all do mask-free instruction edits. Mask-based inpainting is also available if you need pixel-precise control.
Which model is best for product photography edits?
Flux Kontext Pro for high-fidelity background swaps and lighting changes; the dedicated `product-shot` endpoint for standardized e-commerce flows.
