FLUX 3 Klein Distilled Image Edit edits and composes images from up to 3 reference images and a text prompt, with 1K or 2K output. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

FLUX 3 Klein Distilled Image Edit runs the fast, production-ready FLUX 3 Klein checkpoint from Black Forest Labs (5.6B open weights). Edit existing images, or combine up to 3 reference images, with a natural-language instruction.


Why Choose This?

  • Reference-guided editing
    Pass 1 to 3 reference images; the first image sets the output shape unless aspect_ratio is given.

  • Multi-reference composition
    Combine subjects and scenes from several images into one result.

  • 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 desired edit.
imagesYesReference image URLs. Supports between 1 and 3 images.
resolutionNoOutput resolution tier: 1k or 2k. Default: 1k.
aspect_ratioNoOutput aspect ratio. Default: follows the first reference image.
output_formatNojpeg, png, or webp. Default: jpeg.
seedNoRandom seed. Use -1 for a random seed.

Pricing

  • 1k: $0.016 with one reference image, plus $0.005 for each additional reference image.
  • 2k: $0.064 with one reference image, plus $0.010 for each additional reference image.

How to Use

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

Parameters

Task Submission Parameters

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
promptstringYes-The edit instruction describing the desired result. To place or move elements with bounding boxes, refer to the n-th reference as <ref_image_n>.
imagesarray<string>Yes-1 ~ 3 itemsReference images to edit from (1 to 3 URLs). The first image also sets the output aspect ratio unless aspect_ratio is given.
aspect_ratiostringNo-1:1, 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 output aspect ratio. Defaults to the first reference 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

data.outputsarrayOutput values, usually URL strings; some models return text strings or structured result objects (empty when status is not completed)
data.urlsobjectObject containing related API endpoints
data.statusstringTask status. completed is successful; failed, cancelled, timeout, and deleted are failure terminal statuses.
