Background Swaps
5 promptsStudio to Outdoor Golden Hour
1/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext replaces the backdrop of [UPLOADED IMAGE] with a golden-hour outdoor scene while keeping pose, face, hair, and clothes the same. Check the edges and face light on your photo, then download the blended take.
Using the [UPLOADED IMAGE], replace the background with a warm golden-hour outdoor setting, soft blurred trees and a low sun behind the subject. Keep the subject's pose, face, hair, clothing, and lighting on the face exactly the same. Match the new ambient light to the subject so the edges blend naturally, no harsh cutout outline.
Pro tip: Name the original light direction ('lit from the left') so Kontext relights the background to match and avoids a pasted-on look.
Clean White Seamless Studio
2/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext drops the subject from [UPLOADED IMAGE] onto a seamless white studio sweep with a soft floor shadow. Use the clean cutout for your listing, or rerun if hair edges look jagged.
Take the [UPLOADED IMAGE] and replace the background with a clean seamless white studio sweep, soft even softbox lighting, subtle floor shadow under the subject. Preserve the subject's exact appearance, pose, and colors. Remove any distracting objects from the original background.
Pro tip: Add 'keep a soft contact shadow under the feet' so the subject still feels grounded instead of floating.
City Street at Night
3/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext changes the background of [UPLOADED IMAGE] to a wet neon city street at night and adds a cool rim light on the edges. Keep the cinematic frame for your post, then retry if the crop shifted.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], change the background to a moody city street at night with glowing neon signs and bokeh from car lights, wet reflective pavement. Keep the subject unchanged but add subtle cool rim light on their edges to match the neon environment. Maintain the original framing and crop.
Pro tip: Specify the dominant neon color ('magenta and cyan signs') to control the rim-light tint cast onto the subject.
Cozy Interior Cafe
4/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext swaps the setting of [UPLOADED IMAGE] for a warm cafe interior with hanging lights and blurred mug shelves. Save the cozy take for your feed, or generate again if the color temperature clashes.
Using the [UPLOADED IMAGE], swap the background for a cozy cafe interior with warm hanging lights, blurred shelves of mugs, and a wooden table edge in the foreground. Keep the subject's face, expression, and clothing identical. Match the warm interior color temperature across the whole frame.
Pro tip: Mention 'shallow depth of field, background softly blurred' so the subject stays the clear focal point.
Transparent / Plain Color Cutout
5/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext removes the background of [UPLOADED IMAGE] and places the subject on a flat [BRAND COLOR] field, edges and shadows kept clean. Drop the cutout onto your banner, then adjust the color if it fights the clothes.
From the [UPLOADED IMAGE], remove the background entirely and replace it with a flat solid [BRAND COLOR] background. Keep the subject's exact edges, hair detail, and shadows clean. Do not alter the subject's pose, colors, or proportions in any way.
Pro tip: Swap [BRAND COLOR] for a light neutral gray if you plan to key it out again later in a design tool.
Style Transfer
5 promptsWatercolor Illustration
6/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext restyles [UPLOADED IMAGE] as a watercolor with paper texture and loose painted edges, composition still recognizable. Print the illustration, or rerun if your face is no longer recognizable.
Restyle the [UPLOADED IMAGE] as a soft watercolor illustration with visible paper texture, gentle color bleeds, and loose hand-painted edges. Keep the composition, subject identity, and overall layout recognizable. Apply the style uniformly across subject and background.
Pro tip: Add 'preserve facial likeness' so portraits stay identifiable even under heavy stylization.
Pixar / 3D Animation Style
7/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext turns [UPLOADED IMAGE] into a glossy 3D animated look with stylized proportions, keeping hair color, outfit, and pose. Share the character render, then try again if your features drift.
Transform the [UPLOADED IMAGE] into a polished 3D animated movie style, soft global illumination, slightly stylized proportions, glossy eyes, and clean rounded surfaces. Keep the subject's recognizable features, hair color, and outfit. Maintain the original pose and camera angle.
Pro tip: Keep stylization moderate by adding 'subtle, not exaggerated proportions' if you want the result to still resemble the real person.
Vintage 1970s Film Photo
8/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext restyles [UPLOADED IMAGE] as a 1970s film photo with faded warmth, grain, and a corner light leak, objects unchanged. Keep the analog grade for your album, or regenerate if a new object appeared.
Restyle the [UPLOADED IMAGE] to look like a 1970s film photograph: warm faded colors, slight grain, gentle light leaks in one corner, and soft contrast. Keep the subject, pose, and composition exactly the same. Do not add or remove any objects.
Pro tip: Specify the corner for the light leak ('top-right') so the effect feels intentional rather than random.
Comic Book / Ink Style
9/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext converts [UPLOADED IMAGE] into a comic-book ink panel with black outlines, halftone dots, and flat color. Export the panel for your comic, then retry if the expression got lost.
Convert the [UPLOADED IMAGE] into a bold comic-book ink style with strong black outlines, halftone dot shading, and flat saturated colors. Preserve the subject's pose, expression, and key features. Keep the original framing.
Pro tip: Add 'limited 4-color palette' for a retro print look, or 'modern clean line art' for a sharper graphic-novel feel.
Match the Style of a Reference
10/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext applies [DESCRIBE REFERENCE STYLE] to [UPLOADED IMAGE], transferring palette and lighting while leaving pose and identity alone. Describe the look clearly in your prompt, then keep the consistent frame.
Apply the artistic style, color palette, and lighting mood described as [DESCRIBE REFERENCE STYLE] to the [UPLOADED IMAGE]. Keep the subject's identity, pose, and composition unchanged while transferring only the visual style. Blend the look consistently across the entire frame.
Pro tip: Describe the reference in concrete terms ('muted teal-and-orange, high contrast, hazy backlight') rather than naming an artist for more reliable results.
Object Add / Remove
5 promptsRemove Unwanted Background People
11/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext removes background people and clutter from [UPLOADED IMAGE] and rebuilds the scene behind the main subject. Inspect the reconstructed area on your photo, then save it if the subject edges still look real.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], remove the people and clutter in the background while keeping the main subject in the foreground completely unchanged. Realistically reconstruct the background area behind them with matching textures, lighting, and perspective. Keep the subject's edges and shadows intact.
Pro tip: If the fill looks repetitive, add 'fill with plausible continuation of the existing wall and floor' to guide the reconstruction.
Remove a Specific Object
12/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext deletes [OBJECT TO REMOVE] from [UPLOADED IMAGE] and fills the gap with matching texture and light. Name the object clearly in your prompt, then check that nothing else moved.
From the [UPLOADED IMAGE], remove the [OBJECT TO REMOVE] and seamlessly fill the area with the surrounding background, matching texture, color, and lighting. Do not alter anything else in the image. Keep all other objects and the subject exactly as they are.
Pro tip: Be specific about location ('the coffee cup on the left side of the table') when multiple similar objects exist.
Add a Held Product
13/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext adds a [PRODUCT] into the hand in [UPLOADED IMAGE], with a real grip, scale, and shadows that match the scene. Confirm the fingers look natural, then use the shot for your listing.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], add the subject naturally holding a [PRODUCT] in their hand, with correct hand grip, realistic scale, and shadows that match the existing scene lighting. Keep the subject's face, pose, and the rest of the image unchanged. Make the product reflections consistent with the environment.
Pro tip: State the approximate size ('a phone-sized device') so Kontext scales the added object correctly to the hand.
Add Atmospheric Elements
14/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext adds ground fog, dust in the beams, and volumetric light to [UPLOADED IMAGE] without changing the subject. Keep the moodier frame for your scene, or tone it down if the fog hides the face.
Add subtle atmospheric elements to the [UPLOADED IMAGE]: light fog near the ground, a few floating dust particles in the light beams, and gentle volumetric light. Keep the subject and all objects unchanged. Integrate the effects so they respect the existing light direction.
Pro tip: Keep it believable by adding 'subtle, realistic amount' so the scene does not become hazy or overdone.
Add a Logo or Text Sign
15/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext maps [TEXT OR LOGO] onto [SURFACE / WALL / SHIRT] in [UPLOADED IMAGE] so it follows perspective and lighting. Check that it looks printed, not pasted, then export it for your file.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], add a [TEXT OR LOGO] on the [SURFACE / WALL / SHIRT], conforming to the surface perspective, curvature, and lighting. Keep the rest of the image, including the subject, completely unchanged. Make the added element look printed onto the surface, not pasted on top.
Pro tip: Keep added text short; long phrases are where AI image models most often produce garbled characters.

Outfit & Appearance Edits
5 promptsChange Outfit Color
16/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext recolors the [GARMENT] in [UPLOADED IMAGE] to [NEW COLOR], keeping fabric folds, texture, and the rest of the photo. Compare the new color on your real cloth, then keep or revert.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], change the color of the subject's [GARMENT] to [NEW COLOR], keeping the exact same fabric texture, folds, wrinkles, and lighting. Do not change the cut, fit, or any other part of the image. Keep the subject's face and pose identical.
Pro tip: Name the garment precisely ('the long-sleeve shirt, not the jacket') so only the intended item changes color.
Swap to Formal Business Attire
17/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext dresses the subject in [UPLOADED IMAGE] in a tailored [COLOR] business suit, leaving face, hair, pose, and background alone. Use it as your headshot, then retry if the drape looks fake.
Edit the [UPLOADED IMAGE] so the subject is wearing a tailored [COLOR] business suit appropriate for a professional headshot, with realistic fabric drape and natural fit to their body. Keep the subject's face, hairstyle, expression, pose, and background unchanged. Match the suit lighting to the existing scene.
Pro tip: Add 'collar and shoulders fitted to the existing pose' to avoid floating or mismatched clothing edges.
Change Hairstyle
18/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext changes the hair in [UPLOADED IMAGE] to [NEW HAIRSTYLE] while keeping face, skin, clothes, and background. Name the cut you want, then save it if the hairline still looks real.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], change the subject's hairstyle to [NEW HAIRSTYLE], keeping their face, skin tone, and facial features exactly the same. Make the new hair sit naturally on the head with realistic volume and lighting that matches the scene. Leave clothing and background unchanged.
Pro tip: Specify length and texture ('shoulder-length wavy') rather than just a name for more predictable results.
Add or Remove Glasses
19/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext adds [STYLE] glasses to the face in [UPLOADED IMAGE], seated on the nose and ears with lens reflections. Check the temples and reflections on your face, then keep the pair that sits naturally.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], add a pair of [STYLE] glasses on the subject's face, correctly positioned on the nose and ears, with realistic lens reflections and a faint shadow on the cheeks. Keep the face, expression, and everything else unchanged. Match the frame finish to the lighting.
Pro tip: To remove glasses instead, reword to 'remove the glasses and reconstruct the eyes and brow naturally.'
Seasonal Outfit Swap
20/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext redresses the subject in [UPLOADED IMAGE] for [SEASON], with realistic layers, while face, pose, and background stay put. Pick the season you need, then inspect the fit at the wrists and neck.
Edit the [UPLOADED IMAGE] so the subject is dressed for [SEASON], for example a warm coat, scarf, and gloves for winter, with realistic layering and fit. Keep the subject's face, pose, and background unchanged. Match the clothing lighting and shadows to the existing scene.
Pro tip: If you also want the scene to feel seasonal, run a separate background-swap edit afterward rather than combining both at once.
Product & Commercial Edits
5 promptsProduct on Clean Marketing Background
21/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext places the product from [UPLOADED IMAGE] on a [BRAND COLOR] gradient studio background with a soft reflection. Use the hero shot in your ad, or rerun if the label warped.
Take the product in the [UPLOADED IMAGE] and place it on a clean gradient studio background in [BRAND COLOR], with a soft reflection beneath it and gentle directional light from the upper left. Keep the product's exact shape, label, colors, and proportions unchanged. Remove any background clutter.
Pro tip: Always add 'keep the label text and logo perfectly sharp and unchanged' so branding is not distorted.
Product Lifestyle Context
22/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext composites the product from [UPLOADED IMAGE] into a realistic lifestyle scene with matching shadows and reflections. Describe the setting in your prompt, then keep the believable sit.
Place the product from the [UPLOADED IMAGE] into a realistic lifestyle scene: [SETTING, e.g. a marble kitchen counter with morning light]. Keep the product's shape, label, and colors identical. Add natural contact shadows and reflections so it sits believably in the new environment.
Pro tip: Describe one clear surface and light source; vague scenes make the product's grounding shadow look wrong.
Add Packaging or Shadow
23/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext adds a soft drop shadow and floor reflection under the product in [UPLOADED IMAGE], leaving the product colors unchanged. Download the grounded cutout for your pack, or retry if the shadow direction is wrong.
In the [UPLOADED IMAGE], add a realistic soft drop shadow and subtle floor reflection beneath the product to make it look professionally lit. Keep the product itself and its colors completely unchanged. Match the shadow direction to the existing highlight on the product.
Pro tip: Match shadow softness to the light ('soft diffused shadow' for studio light, 'sharper shadow' for direct sun).
Mockup on Surface
24/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext wraps the design from [UPLOADED IMAGE] onto the product surface you name, following curve, perspective, and material. Check the wrap at the edges, then use the studio mockup.
Apply the design from the [UPLOADED IMAGE] onto a [PRODUCT SURFACE, e.g. a ceramic mug / t-shirt / phone case], wrapping it to the object's curvature and perspective with realistic lighting and fabric or material texture. Keep the design's colors and proportions accurate. Show the product in a clean studio setting.
Pro tip: Mention the material ('matte ceramic' vs 'glossy plastic') so reflections and texture match the real product.
Color Variant Generation
25/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext recasts the product in [UPLOADED IMAGE] as [NEW COLOR / FINISH] while shape, lighting, reflections, and label stay the same. Generate the colorways you sell, then keep the photoreal matches.
From the [UPLOADED IMAGE], create a version where the product is [NEW COLOR / FINISH] instead of its current color, keeping the exact same shape, material, lighting, reflections, and background. Do not change the label or any text. Keep the result photoreal and consistent with the original lighting.
Pro tip: For metallic or glossy finishes, add 'preserve realistic specular highlights' so the new color still reads as the right material.

Character Consistency
5 promptsSame Character, New Pose
26/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext regenerates the person in [UPLOADED IMAGE] in [DESCRIBE POSE], locking face, hair, outfit, and lighting. Describe the new pose in your prompt, then keep the frame that still reads as the same person.
Using the character in the [UPLOADED IMAGE], generate the same person in a new pose: [DESCRIBE POSE]. Keep their face, hairstyle, skin tone, outfit, and proportions exactly consistent. Maintain the same lighting style and overall look so it reads as the same character.
Pro tip: Describe the pose in plain anatomical terms ('arms crossed, slight smile, turned three-quarters') for the most reliable consistency.
Same Character, New Scene
27/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext places the character from [UPLOADED IMAGE] into [DESCRIBE SCENE], matching only the environment and light to the new place. Write the scene you need, then check face and outfit against the source.
Place the character from the [UPLOADED IMAGE] into a new setting: [DESCRIBE SCENE]. Keep their face, hair, outfit, and proportions identical to the source image. Adjust only the environment and the lighting on the character to match the new scene.
Pro tip: Use one source image as the visual anchor across your whole sequence so every scene references the same identity.
Consistent Character Expression Sheet
28/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext changes only the expression on the person in [UPLOADED IMAGE], keeping face structure, hair, outfit, and framing. Name the emotion you need, then save it for a sheet or comic.
From the character in the [UPLOADED IMAGE], create the same person with a [EXPRESSION, e.g. surprised / laughing / serious] expression. Keep the face structure, hairstyle, outfit, and lighting identical, changing only the facial expression. Maintain the same framing and head angle.
Pro tip: Change one expression per generation; bundling multiple changes erodes the likeness.
Two Characters, One Scene
29/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext combines the person from [UPLOADED IMAGE] with [DESCRIBE SECOND CHARACTER] in one scene as [INTERACTION], locking the first character's face and outfit. Describe the second person and the action in your prompt, then check scale and light.
Combine the character from the [UPLOADED IMAGE] with a second character described as [DESCRIBE SECOND CHARACTER] into a single scene where they are [INTERACTION]. Keep the first character's face, outfit, and proportions exactly consistent with the source. Match lighting and scale between both characters.
Pro tip: Anchor only one character to an upload and describe the other in text to keep the composition controllable.
Age or Outfit Continuity
30/30✨ What it does
Flux Kontext shows the same person from [UPLOADED IMAGE] in [NEW OUTFIT], keeping face, hair, body, and rendering style. Use the new look in your series, then reject any take that changes the face.
Using the character in the [UPLOADED IMAGE], show the same person now wearing [NEW OUTFIT] while keeping their face, hairstyle, body proportions, and identity perfectly consistent. Match the lighting and rendering style of the source image. Do not change any facial features.
Pro tip: Lock identity by ending the prompt with 'this must read as the exact same person' to discourage subtle face drift.
