<Picture 1>, <Picture 2>, and so on when multiple images are involved.Pricing is based on the selected resolution.
The first input image is included in the base price. Each additional input image costs $0.01.
| Resolution | Base Price |

| 1K | $0.03 |
| 1.5K | $0.045 |
| 2K | $0.06 |

| 8 | +$0.08 |
Aspect ratio, output format, and seed do not add separate charges.
4k.<Picture N> label.8 additional images can be used as references.aspect_ratio unset uses the first image's aspect ratio.Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3-image/edit with your input as JSON. 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.

time.sleep(2)Minimax H3 Image Edit is a WaveSpeedAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. MiniMax H3 Image, the open-weights release of MiniMax's image model, edits images from natural-language instructions with up to 9 input images, native output from 1K to 4K. 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/wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3-image-edit.
Minimax H3 Image Edit starts at $0.03 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`, `seed`, `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/wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3-image-edit.
Reported generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 39 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 (WaveSpeedAI). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
