Multi-reference editing combines multiple input images into a single generated output. Use it for fashion composites, interior design, product scenes, and character-consistent variations. When using several references, describe the role of each image so the model knows what to pull from where.
[pro] API has a 9MP total limit for input + output. At 1MP output you can use up to 8 reference images, at 2MP output up to 7, and so on. FLUX.2 [klein] supports up to 4 references.
Multi-reference works well for:
  • Fashion shoots: Combine clothing items into styled outfits
  • Interior design: Place furniture and decor in rooms
  • Product composites: Combine multiple products in scenes
  • Character consistency: Maintain identity across variations

Use Cases

Multi-reference editing covers a wide range of creative and professional tasks. Below are the most common categories with real prompt examples.

​
Scene Compositing

Combine elements from multiple source images into a single coherent scene.

​
Style & Material Transfer

Apply the visual style, texture, or material of one image onto the content of another.

​
Object Replacement

Replace or fill objects with elements from another reference image.

​
Logo & Branding

Place logos from one image onto objects or scenes in another.

​
Writing Effective Multi-Reference Prompts

Be specific about what changes and clear about the target state. Reference image locations when needed (e.g., “image 1”, “image 2”) and let the references provide visual context.

Good prompts

  • “Add dramatic storm clouds to the sky”
  • “Change her dress from blue to deep burgundy”
  • “Age this portrait by 30 years”
  • “Change image 1 to match the style of image 2”

Avoid

  • “Make it better”

  • “Make it more professional”
  • “Fix the image”
