Why Flux 2 Pro is becoming my favourite AI model

Nano Banana Pro is good - but I’m loving the styling control in Flux 2 Pro

Flux 2 Pro vs Nano Banana Pro

This week I’ve been testing Flux 2 Pro vs Nano Banana Pro.

Nano Banana Pro is incredible for realism and sharpness, but I’ve found it doesn’t always lock in a specific style - especially when you’re generating multiple views from a single image.

Flux 2 Pro, on the other hand, gives me far more consistent styling from the same input. That reliability is what’s pulled me toward it.

First: there are no magic prompts

There isn’t a secret formula here.

This is a process, trial and error. Not a one click Guru trick.

The Plan

Start with:

  • An image you’re inspired by
  • A style you want to replicate

That reference can be something you’ve created before or an image you want to emulate. The reference I’m using here is one I previously made in Fenestra using this exact approach.

Feel free to use this or any of the stylised images as reference

Use Add Anything 

It gives access to Flux 2 Pro, the other Flux models, and the Nano Banana variants. Nano Banana Pro is still excellent, but if it struggles to follow a style, Flux 2 Pro is a solid alternative.

For this method, I use Flux 2 Pro end-to-end. In my testing, it produces the best stylised results.

My setup

Create a view → select Add Anything → add your image to the canvas.

The prompt (keep it simple)

“Use this reference image. Use this reference style to transform the style of the image.”

That’s it.

Flux 2 Pro already understands what you want. Over-prompting makes results worse. I also avoid words like create or make - those tell the model to invent something new. This is restyling, not pure generation.
