FLUX.1 Canny [dev] is 12 billion parameter rectified flow transformer capable of generating an image based on a text description while following the structure of a given input image. For more information, please read our blog post.

Key Features

Cutting-edge output quality.
It blends impressive prompt adherence with maintaining the structure of source images based on canny edges.
Trained using guidance distillation, making FLUX.1 Canny [dev] more efficient.
Open weights to drive new scientific research, and empower artists to develop innovative workflows.
Generated outputs can be used for personal, scientific, and commercial purposes as described in the FLUX.1 [dev] Non-Commercial License.

Usage

We provide a reference implementation of FLUX.1 Canny [dev], as well as sampling code, in a dedicated github repository. Developers and creatives looking to build on top of FLUX.1 Canny [dev] are encouraged to use this as a starting point.

API Endpoints

FLUX.1 Canny [pro] is available in our API bfl.ml

Diffusers

To use FLUX.1-Canny-dev with the 🧨 diffusers python library, first install or upgrade diffusers and controlnet_aux.

pip install -U diffusers controlnet_aux

Then you can use FluxControlPipeline to run the model

import torch
from controlnet_aux import CannyDetector
from diffusers import FluxControlPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image

pipe = FluxControlPipeline.from_pretrained("black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Canny-dev", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).to("cuda")

prompt = "A robot made of exotic candies and chocolates of different kinds. The background is filled with confetti and celebratory gifts."
control_image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/robot.png")

processor = CannyDetector()
control_image = processor(control_image, low_threshold=50, high_threshold=200, detect_resolution=1024, image_resolution=1024)

image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    control_image=control_image,
    height=1024,
    width=1024,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    guidance_scale=30.0,
).images[0]
image.save("output.png")

Limitations

This model is not intended or able to provide factual information.
As a statistical model this checkpoint might amplify existing societal biases.
The model may fail to generate output that matches the prompts.
Prompt following is heavily influenced by the prompting-style.
