Good to know
What it is best for
Consistent is the word: ask for the same thing twice and you get two frames out of the same world, which is what a set needs and a one-off does not care about. Pro is the workhorse, max is for the frame you are keeping, flex sits between them. Every rung accepts reference photos, so you can show it what the thing looks like instead of describing it. The frame is square here by design, so plan for that.
Lean on references. Attach a photo of the product, the room or the palette and describe only the difference you want, which is far more reliable than spelling out a look in words. Start on pro and move to max only once the prompt has stopped changing. PNG for graphics and lettering, jpeg for photographs, webp when the file has to stay small.
Process
Three steps to a finished image
- Open the bot@StarGenAI_Bot, and the Mini App from there. Nothing to download.
- Describe a shot or send a photoYour own prompt, or a ready preset in one tap. A photo gets reworked rather than redrawn.
- Take the image back to the chatIt lands in the same chat you started from, and it turns into a sticker pack.
FAQ
Questions about FLUX.2
Is FLUX.2 free in Telegram?
You get 12 Stars every week with no card attached, and FLUX.2 starts at 5 Stars a run, so the first one can cost you nothing. Unused Stars do not roll over: a new week replaces what is left instead of adding to it.
How much does FLUX.2 cost?
FLUX.2 starts at 5 Stars a run, and every version above carries its own price. The exact amount for the options you pick sits on the generate button before you start, and that is what is charged: one credit is one Telegram Star.
What does FLUX.2 accept?
FLUX.2 takes a text prompt or a photo. Send it straight from the chat: the file is already in Telegram, so there is nothing to upload.
Which version of FLUX.2 should I pick?
The versions above show what each one takes and where its price starts. The cheapest is 5 Stars a run, and the dearer ones buy higher quality or a larger image. Start cheap, then move up once the idea works.

Other models for images
Nano Banana 2
Google's flagship image model. It draws from a description and reworks whatever you send it, and text inside the frame comes out readable, which most models still cannot manage.
from 9 Stars
GPT Image 2
OpenAI's image model reads a long prompt closely and keeps things where you asked for them. Good when the frame needs legible text or a scene built exactly to description.
from 2 Stars
FLUX.1 Schnell
The quick draft model: you type a prompt and it draws it. Take it when you want to run through a dozen ideas rather than polish one.
from 1 Star
Nano Banana Pro
The bigger Nano Banana: 2K output, clean text inside the frame, and edits that keep the detail. It works from a photo or from a prompt alone.
from 20 Stars
Seedream 5 Pro
ByteDance's photo editing: it swaps clothes, backgrounds and style without redrawing the person. It will not start without a photo, text alone is not enough.
from 10 Stars
Pruna P-Image
The fastest image here and one of the cheapest. Take it when you want to run through a dozen ideas rather than polish one.
from 2 Stars
Nano Banana 2 Lite
Google's editor: attach a photo, say what to change in plain words, and the face and the light survive it. Leave the photo out and it just generates from the prompt.
from 5 Stars
Seedream 5 Lite
The junior Seedream: the same grasp of a complicated scene as the Pro, at a fraction of the price. Strong on keeping a frame internally consistent.
