01 · Overview

What is FLUX 3 Image?

FLUX 3 is the model the Klein line was distilled from — the full-weight flagship with the deepest prompt understanding in the FLUX family. It holds complex scenes together: multiple subjects, precise spatial relations, and the kind of lighting that makes a render read as a photograph.

Five tiers: 768px at 6 credits, 1K at 7, 1.5K at 10, 2K at 14, and a 4K tier at 81 credits for the rare job that needs sixteen megapixels. Edits cost the same as generations at every tier, with up to ten references. New accounts start with 20 free credits: three 768px images.

Good to know: the 4K tier is priced for the rare job that genuinely needs sixteen megapixels — it costs about six times the 2K tier and can take several minutes. For almost everything, 2K at 14 credits is the sweet spot. The lightweight sibling is FLUX 3 Klein (from 2 credits).

Ten references, one price

FLUX 3 takes up to ten reference images — the most of any FLUX model — and charges the same as a fresh generation for the edit. Mood boards, character sheets and multi-angle product sets all fit in a single job.

Why is the 4K tier 81 credits?

The 4K tier renders about sixteen megapixels and costs $0.4856 upstream — roughly six times the 2K tier. It is priced for large-format print and heavy crops; for screen work, 2K at 14 credits is the sweet spot.

How many reference images can an edit use?

Up to ten in the studio — the most of any FLUX model — at no extra charge. Edits cost the same as generations at every tier.

FLUX 3 Image or FLUX 3 Klein?

FLUX 3 Image is the full flagship: deeper prompt understanding, five tiers up to 4K, ten references. Klein is the distilled sibling from 2 credits — faster, cheaper, lighter. Draft on Klein, finish here.

How long does a generation take?

Typically under a minute up to 2K. The 4K tier can take several minutes — it renders sixteen megapixels.

When should I use a different model?

For the cheapest 4K (HY Image 3.5 Preview at 5 credits), the lowest price overall (Muse Image at 1 credit), or instruction-heavy multi-reference edits (GPT Image 2.6).
