01 · Overview
What is FLUX 3 Klein?
FLUX 3 Klein is the distilled member of Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 family: a smaller, faster build of the flagship model, compressed (“distilled”) to answer in seconds instead of half a minute. It keeps the FLUX look — photographic light, real materials, disciplined composition — and trades a little fine detail for a 3–10× lower price.
It generates at 1K, 1.5K or 2K in JPEG, PNG or WebP, accepts seeds for reproducible results, and edits with up to three reference images.
Specs & capabilities
| Inputs | Text to image · Image editing (up to 3 reference images) |

| Aspect ratios | 10 ratios in the studio, including 21:9 cinema |
| Output formats | JPEG, PNG and WebP |
| Pricing shape | Three resolution tiers from $0.01. Edits start at 3 credits, +2 per extra reference. |
Good to know: at 2 credits, a 1K Klein draft is the cheapest generation in this studio — cheaper than exploring on any flagship. When a draft wins, the same prompt finishes beautifully on FLUX 2 Pro.

Why creators pick FLUX 3 Klein

Seconds, not half-minutes
Distillation compresses the flagship's rendering into a fraction of the steps. The practical difference: you stay in flow — try the idea, see it, adjust, try again — instead of batching prompts and waiting. High-volume work (variants, storyboards, A/B creative) lives here.

Cheap edits that re-stage products
Edits start at 3 credits: take a plain studio product shot and put it somewhere interesting — this sneaker moved from a grey backdrop to a sunlit skate park, unchanged. Up to three references per edit, with placement tokens to say where things go.

The FLUX look, three formats
Photographic light and materials survive the distillation — and unlike FLUX 2 Pro's JPEG-only output, Klein exports JPEG, PNG and WebP, so drafts drop straight into web pipelines without conversion.

Prompt guide — getting the best out of this model
- Think like a photographer: name the lens, the light and the material ("85mm product shot, soft side light").
- Generate in volume: at 2 credits the winning strategy is ten drafts, not one polished prompt.
- In edits, refer to inputs as <ref_image_1>, <ref_image_2> to place elements precisely.
- Save the seed of a winner — Klein reproduces it exactly, so variations stay controlled.
- For maximum fine detail, finish on FLUX 2 Pro — distillation trades a little detail for its speed.

06 · FAQ
FLUX 3 Klein FAQ
What does “distilled” mean?
The flagship FLUX model's rendering was compressed into a smaller, faster build. You get most of the quality in a fraction of the time and cost — the trade is a little fine detail at the largest sizes, which is why finals still belong on FLUX 2 Pro.
How is FLUX 3 Klein different from FLUX 2 Pro?
Klein is speed and price: 2–7 credits, seconds per image, JPEG/PNG/WebP out. FLUX 2 Pro is maximum fidelity at 5 credits per ~1MP with JPEG output. Draft on Klein, finish on Pro — one balance covers both.
How many reference images can an edit use?
Up to three. The first is included in the edit tier price; each extra reference adds 2 credits, shown before you generate.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes — paid plans include a commercial license for the images you generate: ads, packaging, client work, merchandise. As everywhere, don't use it to imitate real brands, products or people you don't have the rights to.
