Black Forest Labs (BFL) has released several image manipulation tools, leading to some confusion between their 'erase' and 'expand' functionalities. The FLUX Erase tool, launched May 21, 2026, removes objects within an image based on a mask, while FLUX.1 Pro Expand, available since November 2024 and updated as FLUX Outpainting on May 14, 2026, extends images beyond their original boundaries by generating new content. Despite the similar naming and the evolution of BFL's FLUX Tools, these are distinct operations with different use cases and API endpoints. AI
