# Riverflow 2.5 Fast

Riverflow 2.5 Fast is the speed-focused variant in Sourceful's Riverflow 2.5 family. It supports both text-to-image and image-to-image workflows through the 2.5 generation endpoints, making it suitable for rapid creative iteration, packaging exploration, branded product visuals, and latency-sensitive production pipelines that still need strong visual control.

- **ID**: `sourceful:riverflow-2.5@fast`
- **Status**: live
- **Creator**: Sourceful
- **Capabilities**: Text to Image, Image to Image, Edit

## Pricing

Pricing starts at $0.021 per image generated. Pricing is dependent on thinking effort (low, medium, high)

- **1k . Low**: `$0.021`
- **1k . Medium**: `$0.022`
- **1k . Fast**: `$0.025`

## Compatibility & Validation

`resolution` cannot be used with `width/height`.

---

When `settings.backgroundMode` is `solid`, `settings.backgroundColor` is required.

---

`width` and `height` must be used together.

---

The following dimension combinations are supported:

| Configuration | Dimensions |
| --- | --- |
| `1K (1:1)` | `1024x1024` |
| `1K (21:9)` | `1344x576` |

- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true
- **Format**: `UUID v4`

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

### [outputType](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sourceful-riverflow-2-5-fast#request-outputtype)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `URL`

Image output type.

**Allowed values**: `URL` `base64Data` `dataURI`

### [outputFormat](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sourceful-riverflow-2-5-fast#request-outputformat)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `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.

> [!NOTE]
> \*\*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 values**: `JPG` `PNG` `WEBP`

### [outputQuality](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sourceful-riverflow-2-5-fast#request-outputquality)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `20`
- **Max**: `99`
- **Default**: `95`

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

### [webhookURL](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sourceful-riverflow-2-5-fast#request-webhookurl)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `URI`

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](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sourceful-riverflow-2-5-fast#request-deliverymethod)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `sync`

Determines how the API delivers task results.

**Allowed values**:

- `sync` Returns complete results directly in the API response.
- `async` Returns an immediate acknowledgment with the task UUID. Poll for results using getResponse.

### [uploadEndpoint](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sourceful-riverflow-2-5-fast#request-uploadendpoint)

- **Type**: `string`

**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.

```text
// 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
