Transform only the large rock where the grappling hook is attached into a massive ancient dragon skull partially embedded in the ground, with weathered bone, broken horns, deep cracks, and subtle moss growth. Keep the hook firmly attached to one horn and preserve the original rope path and tension. Preserve the man’s exact face, hairstyle, body pose, outfit, rope, hand positions, environment, and lighting.

MiniMax H3 Image Edit edits and combines images from 1–16 reference images using text instructions. Describe the desired changes and refer to each input image by its order when multiple references are used.
Multi-reference editing — Use up to 16 images in a single editing workflow.
Natural-language instructions — Describe edits and refer to inputs as image 1, image 2, and so on.
Up to 4K output — Choose 1k, 2k, or 4k.
Flexible framing — Select an aspect ratio or leave it empty for automatic selection.
Multiple output formats — Export as PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the desired edit. Refer to input images as image 1, image 2, and so on. |
| images | Yes | Between 1 and 16 reference image URLs. Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, and HEIF. Each side must be between 128 and 8192 pixels, and the long side must not exceed 4× the short side. |
| 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. Leave empty for automatic selection based on the references and instruction. |

| output_format | No | Output format: png, jpeg, or webp. Default: png. |
1 and 16 images.1k, 2k, or 4k.Pricing is based on the selected output resolution and the number of input images.
Each input image costs $0.008.

| 2K | $0.03 |
| 4K | $0.09 |
| Resolution | Input Images | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1K | 1 | $0.038 |

| 2K | 4 | $0.062 |
| 4K | 2 | $0.106 |
| 4K | 16 | $0.218 |
1k and 2k use the same output price.
Aspect ratio and output format do not add separate charges.

The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for H3 Image Edit below.

time.sleep(2)H3 Image Edit is a MiniMax model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. MiniMax H3 Image Edit enables precise image editing and multi-image composition with up to 16 reference images, supporting flexible creative workflows and high-resolution output. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/minimax/minimax-h3-image-edit.
H3 Image Edit starts at $0.038 per run or per second. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `output_format`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/minimax/minimax-h3-image-edit.
Reported generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 22 seconds per request. This is an estimate, not a latency guarantee; queue time and input settings can change the total wait. live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (MiniMax). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
