Can I use the API for a commercial application?

Yes. All images generated through the BFL API include full commercial usage rights. You can use them in products, services, marketing, and any other commercial context.

What's included

  • Commercial rights for all images generated via the API

  • Same rights apply to Playground-generated images

  • No additional licensing fees — commercial use is included in the per-image cost

Open-weights models

If you are running models locally (not through our API), licensing depends on the model:

Model

FLUX.2 [klein] 4B

Apache 2.0

Yes — fully open, no restrictions

FLUX.2 [klein] 9B

FLUX Non-Commercial

Requires commercial license from bfl.ai/licensing

FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]

FLUX Non-Commercial

Requires commercial license from bfl.ai/licensing

FLUX.2 [dev]
