What is the default Guidance Scale value in Flux?

Flux's default Guidance Scale is typically 3.5-5.0. This works well for general use, but specialized prompts often benefit from adjustment. See our recommended values above for different use cases.

Does Guidance Scale affect generation speed in Flux?

Minimally — this parameter primarily affects output characteristics rather than processing time. Choose your value based on the quality level you need.

What Guidance Scale value is best for professional work?

For professional and commercial work, we recommend 5.0-7.5. This ensures maximum quality while keeping generation practical.

Can I change Guidance Scale after generating in Flux?

No — Guidance Scale must be set before generation. However, you can quickly regenerate with a different Guidance Scale value using the same prompt to compare results side by side.

Values & Usage

Guidance Scale: 1.0-3.01.0-3.0

Very creative and diverse outputs, may not follow prompt closely

Guidance Scale: 3.5-5.03.5-5.0

Balanced — follows prompt while allowing creative interpretation

Guidance Scale: 5.0-7.55.0-7.5

Strong prompt adherence — more predictable and consistent results

Guidance Scale: 7.5-15.07.5-15.0

Very strict — follows prompt literally, may lose some artistic quality

Example Prompts

Demonstrating Guidance Scale at 1.0-3.0 — Very creative and diverse outputs, may not follow prompt closely

beginner

A abstract scenic composition of landscape. Shot on Canon EOS R5, 85mm f/1.2. Dramatic side lighting creating neon accent colors. Shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh. Fine detail and texture visible throughout. Color grading reminiscent of Fuji Pro 400H. Professional composition with strong visual hierarchy.

Demonstrating Guidance Scale at 3.5-5.0 — Balanced — follows prompt while allowing creative interpretation

beginner

A gothic scenic composition of landscape. Shot on Leica M11, 50mm Summilux. Harsh directional light creating muted pastel shades. Shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh. Fine detail and texture visible throughout. Color grading reminiscent of Fuji Velvia 50. Professional composition with strong visual hierarchy.

Demonstrating Guidance Scale at 5.0-7.5 — Strong prompt adherence — more predictable and consistent results

intermediate

A low poly scenic composition of landscape. Shot on Nikon Z9, 50mm f/1.8. Sunset rim light creating warm earth tones. Shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh. Fine detail and texture visible throughout. Color grading reminiscent of Ilford HP5. Professional composition with strong visual hierarchy.

Demonstrating Guidance Scale at 7.5-15.0 — Very strict — follows prompt literally, may lose some artistic quality

advanced

A digital art scenic composition of landscape. Shot on Canon EOS R3, 24-70mm f/2.8. Neon ambient glow creating analogous warm palette. Shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh. Fine detail and texture visible throughout. Color grading reminiscent of Kodak Portra 400. Professional composition with strong visual hierarchy.

Pro Tips

1Start with the default Guidance Scale value and make small adjustments to understand how it affects your specific prompt style.
2Different styles respond differently to Guidance Scale changes — what works for photorealistic may not work for anime or abstract.
3Keep notes on which Guidance Scale values work best for your favorite prompt structures — this builds your personal Flux knowledge base.
4When sharing prompts, always include your Guidance Scale setting — it can dramatically change results even with identical prompt text.
5For batch generation, lock your Guidance Scale value to maintain consistency across an entire set of related images.

Common Mistakes

✕Using extreme Guidance Scale values without understanding the trade-offs — moderate values usually produce the most balanced results.

✕Assuming the same Guidance Scale value works for all styles — always test with your specific prompt before committing to a batch.

✕Changing Guidance Scale and other settings simultaneously — adjust one parameter at a time to understand each one's effect.
