Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!P-H3-Image by Pruna AI, built on MiniMax H3 open weights, generates photorealistic, editorial-quality images from text prompts for creative visuals, product imagery, branded content, and production workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
P-H3-Image Text-to-Image generates images from text prompts using the MiniMax H3 open weights. Create photorealistic, editorial, cinematic, and creative visuals with flexible aspect ratios and output resolutions from 1k to 4k.
Why Choose This?
- High-quality image generation — Create detailed images from natural-language descriptions.
- Up to 4K output — Choose
1k,1.5k,2k,3k, or4kdepending on your quality needs. - Flexible framing — Generate images across a wide range of landscape, portrait, square, and ultrawide aspect ratios.
- Multiple output formats — Export as JPEG, PNG, or WebP.
- Seed control — Use a fixed seed for more reproducible generation.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the image to generate. |
| aspect_ratio | No | Output aspect ratio: 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, or 21:9. Default: 1:1. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 1k, 1.5k, 2k, 3k, or 4k. Default: 1k. |
| output_format | No | Output format: jpeg, png, or webp. Default: jpeg. |
| seed | No | Random seed. Use -1 for random generation. |
How to Use
- Write a prompt — Describe the subject, setting, composition, lighting, and visual style.
- Choose framing — Select the aspect ratio that fits your target layout.
- Choose resolution — Use lower resolutions for iteration or higher resolutions when more detail is needed.
- Choose output format optional — Select JPEG, PNG, or WebP.
- Set a seed optional — Use a fixed seed when comparing prompt variations.
- Submit — Generate and retrieve the finished image.
Pricing
Pricing is based on the selected resolution.
| Resolution | Price per Image |
|---|---|
| 1K | $0.02 |
| 1.5K | $0.03 |
| 2K | $0.04 |
| 3K | $0.08 |
| 4K | $0.12 |
Aspect ratio, output format, and seed do not add separate charges.
Best Use Cases
- Photorealistic imagery — Generate people, environments, products, and lifestyle scenes.
- Editorial visuals — Create magazine-style and documentary-inspired imagery.
- Advertising concepts — Produce campaign, product, and promotional visuals.
- Cinematic concepts — Explore dramatic lighting, compositions, and scene designs.
- High-resolution assets — Generate detailed images for publishing and design workflows.
Pro Tips
- Describe the subject, setting, composition, lighting, and visual style clearly.
- Use concrete visual details instead of unnecessary descriptive language.
- Put short text that should appear in the image inside quotation marks.
- Use
3kor4kwhen finer visual detail is important. - Use a fixed
seedwhen comparing prompt changes while keeping the generation setup consistent.
Notes
promptis required.aspect_ratiodefaults to1:1.resolutiondefaults to1k.- Supported resolutions are
1k,1.5k,2k,3k, and4k. output_formatdefaults tojpeg.- Use
seed=-1for random seed selection. - Higher resolutions increase the generation price.
