## Abstract (arXiv)

Synthetic face datasets are increasingly used to overcome the limitations of real-world biometric data, including privacy concerns, demographic imbalance, and high collection costs. However, many existing methods lack fine-grained control over identity attributes and fail to produce paired, identity-consistent images under structured capture conditions. We introduce FLUXSynID, a framework for generating high-resolution synthetic face datasets along with a dataset of 14,889 synthetic identities. We generate synthetic faces with user-defined identity attribute distributions, offering both document-style and trusted live capture images. The dataset generated using the FLUXSynID framework shows improved alignment with real-world identity distributions and greater inter-class diversity compared to prior work. Our work is publicly released to support biometric research, including face recognition and morphing attack detection.
