Flux vs Recraft

Flux

Black Forest Labs

Black Forest Labs' image generation family built on a diffusion transformer architecture. Variants span Flex (open-weight), Kontext (in-context editing), Pro, and Max, covering use cases from rapid generation to high-fidelity professional output.

✓Native vector and SVG-style output support
✓Strong brand and style consistency tools
✓Precise colour palette and layout control

Weaknesses

✕Less suited for photorealistic generation
