Flux 2 Klein Base 9b Text To Image API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!FLUX.2 [klein] Base 9B is a high-quality text-to-image model with 9B parameters, offering enhanced realism and crisper text generation. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no cold starts, affordable pricing.
Features
WaveSpeed AI FLUX.2 Klein Base 9B Text-to-Image generates images from natural-language prompts with a simple interface for prompt input, output size selection, and optional seed control. It is suitable for concept art, creative ideation, marketing visuals, and other prompt-driven image generation workflows.
Why Choose This?
-
Prompt-based image generation Turn natural-language descriptions into generated images with minimal setup.
-
Simple control surface Only a few core inputs are required, making the workflow easy to use and integrate.
-
Flexible image size Use the
sizeparameter to control the output dimensions. -
Seed support for reproducibility Use
seedto get more consistent generations across repeated runs. -
Production-ready API Suitable for image generation tools, prototyping pipelines, and creative applications.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text prompt describing the image you want to generate. |
| size | No | Output image size. Default: 1024*1024. |
| seed | No | Random seed for reproducibility. Use -1 for a random seed. Default: -1. |
How to Use
- Write your prompt — describe the subject, style, lighting, composition, and mood you want.
- Choose size (optional) — set the output dimensions if you want something other than the default.
- Set a seed (optional) — use a fixed seed for more reproducible results, or
-1for random generation. - Submit — run the model and download the generated image.
Example Prompt
A cinematic futuristic city street at night, neon reflections on wet pavement, atmospheric fog, ultra-detailed, dramatic lighting
Pricing
Just $0.015 per image.
Billing Rules
- Each generated image costs $0.015
sizeandseeddo not affect pricing- Pricing is fixed per generated image
Best Use Cases
- Concept art — Explore visual ideas and creative directions quickly.
- Marketing creatives — Generate visuals for campaigns, ads, and presentations.
- Social media content — Produce prompt-driven images for posts and promotional content.
- Creative prototyping — Test visual ideas before moving into heavier production workflows.
- General image generation — Create still images from short or detailed prompts.
Pro Tips
- Be specific in your prompt about subject, environment, style, and lighting.
- Start with the default size for quick generation, then adjust if needed.
- Use the same
seedwhen you want more consistent variations of a concept. - Use
-1when you want a fresh random result each time. - Short, focused prompts often produce more controllable results than overly broad descriptions.
Notes
promptis required.sizedefaults to1024*1024.seeddefaults to-1, which means random generation.- Pricing is fixed at $0.015 per image.
