Flux Pro

Machined can generate featured images using Flux Pro, powered by Azure's flux-11-pro model. You can configure automatic image generation for articles in clusters or manually create images for each article. Machined provides 70+ pre-defined styles and lets you define the hue and tone of your images.

Flux Pro is available on all plans and the cost is included - no additional API keys required.

Automatic image generation

You can enable automatic Flux Pro image generation for featured images. Select Flux Pro in the Featured Images dropdown on your cluster, then select the settings you wish to use. Each time an article is written in this cluster, a featured image will be created using the settings you have selected.

Auto-generation of featured images only runs on articles that don't already have a featured image.

Manual image generation

You can also generate featured images manually using Flux Pro. Open the featured image popup for the article in question and navigate to the Flux Pro tab.

Image styles

The image style lets you define which artistic style the image will be created in. Some styles are more suitable than others depending on your niche, topic and keyword.

Machined allows you to use styles and hues when generating images to help you keep consistency between images in your clusters.

Images are generated in a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Custom prompts

When using a custom prompt, you are expected to define the entirety of the prompt and Machined will not add any keywords, style or overlay to the image. Make sure you are as explicit as you need to be to generate the perfect image.

Image storage

Machined does not remove existing images when you generate new ones, so you can always go back to a previously generated image. You can see all images for an article by opening the Featured Images popup.

Machined will store images for up to 3 months, at which point they will be permanently deleted. Please make sure you export or download all the images that you want to keep.
