Benchmark Methodology
Flux Pro v1.1 images were tested across 9 AI detectors using a curated dataset of AI-generated and real photographs.
Each detector classifies images as AI-generated or real. We measure the detection rate — the percentage of Flux Pro v1.1 images correctly identified as AI-generated. Higher rates mean the detector catches Flux Pro v1.1 content more reliably.

Flux Pro v1.1 is Black Forest Labs' flagship text-to-image model, representing the cutting edge of AI image generation. Created by former Stability AI researchers, Flux combines state-of-the-art quality with exceptional prompt adherence, making it one of the most capable image generators available.
The Flux family includes three tiers: Schnell (fast, open-source), Dev (development, open-source), and Pro (highest quality, API-only). Version 1.1 of Flux Pro brings significant improvements in realism, prompt following, and output consistency.

Flux Pro Watermarking
Black Forest Labs implements watermarking for API-generated Flux Pro images:
Invisible Watermarks
- Embedded during the generation process
- Designed to survive common transformations
- Undetectable to human vision
- Machine-readable for verification
Metadata Markers
- Generation parameters in EXIF
- Model version identification
- Optional C2PA support
- API key attribution (internal)
Open-Source Variants
Flux Schnell and Flux Dev (open-source versions) do NOT include watermarks when run locally, giving users full control over outputs.
Detecting Flux Pro Images
Flux Pro images can be identified through multiple methods:
Watermark Detection
- API-generated images contain invisible watermarks
- Specialized tools can detect BFL signatures
- Accuracy: 85-95% for unmodified images
Statistical Analysis
- Rectified Flow artifacts differ from diffusion models
- Characteristic noise patterns
- Latent space signatures
- Model-specific rendering traits
