Use cases

FLUX Outpainting is documented as suited to aspect-ratio changes, such as converting images into widescreen, vertical, or banner formats. It is also suited to banner generation and social media reformatting, where an image needs to be extended to fit a new layout. The model is documented for giving a composition more room to breathe, which applies when a subject needs extra surrounding space without re-framing. It is also suited to extending natural scenes or textures, including landscapes, interiors, fabrics, food, and skies, where the goal is “more of the same.”

How to use FLUX Outpainting API

Install any OpenAI-compatible SDK, point it at api.aimlapi.com/v1, and set the model to blackforestlabs/flux-outpainting.

import requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + AIMLAPI_KEY},
    json={
      "model": "blackforestlabs/flux-outpainting",
      "prompt": "A cat holding a sign that says hello"
    },
)
print(r.json())

const r = await fetch("https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.AIMLAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "blackforestlabs/flux-outpainting",
    "prompt": "A cat holding a sign that says hello"
  }),
});
console.log(await r.json());

curl -X POST https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIMLAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"blackforestlabs/flux-outpainting","prompt":"A cat holding a sign that says hello"}'
