FLUX 3 Klein Base Text-to-Image generates images from text prompts, with 1K or 2K output and flexible aspect ratios. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

FLUX 3 Klein Base Text-to-Image runs the full, non-distilled FLUX 3 Klein checkpoint for maximum fidelity (slower and priced higher than Distilled) from Black Forest Labs (5.6B open weights). Describe the image you want and get it back in seconds.


Why Choose This?

  • Prompt-driven generation
    Full scene captions (framing, subject, background, lighting) give the best results.

  • Text rendering
    Clear, readable text inside generated images.

  • Layout control with bounding boxes
    Append a JSON list of boxes on a 0 to 1000 grid to place elements; in edits, refer to the n-th reference as <ref_image_n>.

  • 1K and 2K output
    Choose 1k (~1 megapixel) or 2k (~4 megapixels) at 15 aspect ratios.

  • Multiple output formats
    Export as jpeg, png, or webp.

  • Seed control
    Use a fixed seed to reproduce a result, or -1 for random.


Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesText prompt describing the image to generate.
resolutionNoOutput resolution tier: 1k or 2k. Default: 1k.
aspect_ratioNoOutput aspect ratio. Default: 1:1.
output_formatNojpeg, png, or webp. Default: jpeg.
seedNoRandom seed. Use -1 for a random seed.

Pricing

  • 1k: $0.030 per image.
  • 2k: $0.120 per image.

How to Use

  1. Write a prompt — Describe the subject, composition, background, lighting, and style in full sentences.
  2. Choose resolution and aspect ratio (optional).
  3. Submit — Retrieve the finished image from the result.

Parameters

Task Submission Parameters

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
promptstringYes-The positive prompt for the generation. A full scene caption (framing, subject, background, lighting) works best.
aspect_ratiostringNo1:11:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:3, 3:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 9:21, 21:9The aspect ratio of the generated image.
resolutionstringNo1k1k, 2kTotal output resolution tier: 1k (~1 megapixel) or 2k (~4 megapixels).
output_formatstringNojpegjpeg, png, webpThe format of the output image.
seedintegerNo--The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used.
enable_sync_modebooleanNofalse-If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models.
enable_base64_outputbooleanNofalse-If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN.

Response Parameters
