Black Forest Labs Launches FLUX Erase For Precise Image Editing

Original post

Controllable image editing is here ✨

This is an incredibly cool new feature from @bfl_ml.

You can erase any object or text from an image - and ONLY that area is regenerated while the rest remains unchanged.

New Release: Erase

Remove objects, erase text, and clean up details in any image.

FLUX is now trained to erase and reconstruct as one task at the model level. We noticed this approach leads to images that stay clean and consistent.

Give it an image + a simple “erase mask” over what you want gone, and it reconstructs the background - shadows and missed bits included - while keeping the rest intact.

Try the demo: https://flux-tools.bfl.ai/erase

@bfl_ml Folks are asking how this is different from other inpainting tools.

In my testing, it's much (1) faster, and (2) higher quality, especially for more complex edits like removing text on top of an image.

This was done in a single pass 🤯

@RishavSharma12 @bfl_ml The quality and fidelity on this is far beyond anything I've used from other providers (Samsung, Apple, Adobe).

My example was relatively simple. It gets more impressive with things like removing text that is layered on top of a scene. Will post a follow up example soon :)

@venturetwins @bfl_ml Samsung has been doing it since S24 I think?

@venturetwins @bfl_ml This has been around for a couple of years now though, no? Or is this a newer/better way of getting quality results?

@venturetwins @bfl_ml Ah I see. I used to use BFL quite a bit before Nano Banana made things easier for me. Will try BFL again

@venturetwins @bfl_ml Samsung AI has this natively btw and the only drawback is it doesn't allow full flexibility because it has some safety filters but more than enough for a everyday images.

@venturetwins @bfl_ml I can't quite understand what the difference is between this and normal inpainting which has been around for a long time, years in fact. I'd like them to be clearer on exactly what the difference is.

Damn @bfl_ml this is clean af! The way it reconstructs the background with shadows & details intact without touching the rest of the image is next level. Inpainting ko properly next stage pe le gaye ho. Samsung wale already kar rahe the but yeh quality + control dekh ke lag raha hai ab AI game change ho gaya. When is this dropping fully on API? Ready to play! "

@venturetwins @bfl_ml A single-edit pass is still fragile. Does the model handle occlusion boundaries correctly when the erased object casts a shadow?
