FLUX Outpainting

Black Forest Labs
by Black Forest Labs

FLUX Outpainting is a dedicated image expansion model from Black Forest Labs that extends an existing image beyond its original borders in a single call. It is tuned to continue scene content, lighting, texture, and composition naturally without requiring a text prompt, making it useful for aspect-ratio changes, social reformats, banner layouts, and other canvas-extension workflows.

API Options

Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.

taskType

stringrequiredvalue: imageInference

Identifier for the type of task being performed

taskUUID

stringrequiredUUID v4

UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.

outputType

stringdefault: URL

Image output type.

Allowed values3 values

outputFormat

stringdefault: JPG

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

  • `JPG`: Best for photorealistic images with smaller file sizes (no transparency).
  • `PNG`: Lossless compression, supports high quality and transparency (alpha channel).
  • `WEBP`: Modern format providing superior compression and transparency support.
**Transparency**: If you are using features like background removal or LayerDiffuse that require transparency, you must select a format that supports an alpha channel (e.g., `PNG`, `WEBP`, `TIFF`). `JPG` does not support transparency.
Allowed values3 values

outputQuality

integermin: 20max: 99default: 95

Compression quality of the output. Higher values preserve quality but increase file size.

webhookURL

stringURI

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

deliveryMethod

stringdefault: sync

Determines how the API delivers task results.

Allowed values2 values
Returns complete results directly in the API response.
Returns an immediate acknowledgment with the task UUID. Poll for results using getResponse.
Learn more1 resource

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

Common use cases:

  • Cloud storage: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
  • CDN integration: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpg

The content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.

safety

object

Content safety checking configuration for image generation.

Properties1 property
safety » checkContent

checkContent

booleandefault: false

Enable or disable content safety checking.

ttl

integermin: 60

Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when outputType is URL.

includeCost

booleandefault: false

Include task cost in the response.

numberResults

integermin: 1max: 20default: 1

Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.

Inputs

Input resources for the task (images, audio, etc). These must be nested inside the inputs object.

inputs » image

image

stringrequired

Image input (UUID, URL, Data URI, or Base64).

Core Parameters

top

integermin: 0

Number of pixels to extend to the top.

outpaint » bottom

bottom

integermin: 0

Number of pixels to extend to the bottom.

outpaint » left

left

integermin: 0

Number of pixels to extend to the left.

Settings

Technical parameters to fine-tune the inference process. These must be nested inside the settings object.

settings » autoCrop

autoCrop

booleandefault: false

If true, crop the reference image to the canvas bounds when it extends beyond the edges. Defaults to false (out-of-bounds placements return 422).

settings » mode

mode

stringdefault: high

Generation mode trading quality for speed.

Allowed values2 values
Highest fidelity. Recommended when fine detail, prompt adherence, or consistency with complex source content matters.
Faster generation. Suitable for naturally extending landscapes, backgrounds, textures, and products. May produce lower fidelity in the extended region.

Features

Standalone addons and post-processing features.
