We propose RF-Solver to solve the rectified flow ODE with less error, thus enhancing both sampling quality and inversion-reconstruction accuracy for rectified-flow-based generative models. Furthermore, we propose RF-Edit to leverage the RF-Solver for image and video editing tasks. Our methods achieve impressive performance on various tasks, including text-to-image generation, image/video inversion, and image/video editing.
We derive the exact formulation of the solution for Rectified Flow ODE. The non-linear part in this solution is processed by Taylor Expansion. Through higher order expansion, the approximation error in the solution is significantly reduced, thus achieving impressive performance on both text-to-image sampling and image/video inversion.
Based on RF-Solver, we further propose the RF-Edit for image and video editing. RF-Edit framework leverages the features from inversion in the denoising process, which enables high-quality editing while preserving the structual information of source image/video. RF-Edit contains two sub-modules, espectively for image editing and video editing.
The environment of our code is the same as FLUX, you can refer to the official repo of FLUX, or running the following command to construct the environment.
conda create --name RF-Solver-Edit python=3.10
conda activate RF-Solver-Edit
pip install -e ".[all]"
We have provided several scripts to reproduce the results in the paper, mainly including 3 types of editing: Stylization, Adding, Replacing. We suggest to run the experiment on a single A100 GPU.

We privide the gradio demo for image editing. Run the following command:
cd src
python gradio_demo.py
Here is an example for using the gradio demo to edit an image! Note that here "Number of inject steps" means the steps of feature sharing in RF-Edit, which is highly related to the quality of edited results. We suggest to tune this parameter, selecting the results with best visual quality.
You can also run the following scripts to edit your own image.
cd src
python edit.py --source_prompt [describe the content of your image or leaves it as null] \
--target_prompt [describe your editing requirements] \
--guidance 2 \
--source_img_dir [the path of your source image] \
--num_steps 30 \
--inject [typically set to a number between 2 to 8] \
--name 'flux-dev' --offload \
--output_dir [output path]
Similarly, The --inject
refers to the steps of feature sharing in RF-Edit, which is highly related to the performance of editing.
