What is Riverflow 2.0?
Riverflow 2.0 is an image generation and editing model from Sourceful, the company behind the Riverflow platform. Instead of handing back a single attempt, it pairs diffusion models with a reasoning model that checks each candidate and corrects mistakes before you see the result. It can set text in your own brand fonts and repair garbled labels by patching them from a high-resolution copy of the real artwork.
Sourceful now lists Riverflow 2.5 as its current model, adding thinking levels, custom scoring rubrics and 4K export. Riverflow 2.0 is still reachable through the Riverflow API and partners, but it is the previous generation.
Is Riverflow 2.0 still available?
Yes, as the previous model: Sourceful now points to Riverflow 2.5 for current image generation and editing.
- Riverflow API
- The API docs still use Riverflow 2 model keys, riverflow-2-standard and riverflow-2-pro, next to riverflow-2.5-pro-high.
- Partners
- Sourceful names Runware and OpenRouter as distribution partners for developers who want the model outside Riverflow.
- One pool of credits
- The app, the API and MCP all spend the same Riverflow credits, and each product shows which model settings it offers.
- Successor
- Riverflow 2.5 builds on 2.0's multi-step editing with thinking levels, custom scoring, background modes and output up to 4K.
Who is Riverflow 2.0 best for?
Riverflow 2.0 is best for consumer product brands and agencies that need product photos and ads in volume, with labels, logos and fonts kept intact.
Product shots across a catalogue
It starts from your SKUs, packshots and product images and turns out lifestyle and studio shots for a whole range, not one image at a time.
Ads with readable labels
Its super-resolution step spots garbled text on packaging and redraws it from your reference image, and it can set headlines in your brand fonts.
Brand teams and agencies
Each brand profile holds colours, fonts, logos and styles, and unlimited viewer seats let clients and freelancers review the work.
Teams working from a chat assistant
Paid plans connect to Claude, ChatGPT and Codex over MCP, and the same credits cover the app, the API and MCP.
