MiniMax H3 Image Open-Weights Text-to-Image LoRA

MiniMax H3 Image Open-Weights Text-to-Image LoRA runs the open-weights release of MiniMax H3 Image (weights published by MiniMax). It generates images from text prompts with up to 3 custom LoRA weights per request, natively at every resolution from 1k up to 4k.

Why Choose This?

  • Open-weights model — The open weights MiniMax released for H3 Image, the same model family as MiniMax H3 video.
  • LoRA support — Load up to 3 LoRA weights in one request, each with its own scale.
  • Native output up to 4K — Choose 1k, 1.5k, 2k, 3k, or 4k; every tier is generated at its own size.
  • Built-in prompt enhancement — Short prompts in any language are expanded into a detailed description before generation.
  • Flexible framing — Square, portrait, landscape, and ultrawide aspect ratios.
  • Multiple output formats — Export as JPEG, PNG, or WebP.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesText description of the image to generate.
aspect_ratioNoOutput 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.
resolutionNoOutput resolution: 1k, 1.5k, 2k, 3k, or 4k. Default: 1k.
output_formatNoOutput format: jpeg, png, or webp. Default: jpeg.
lorasNoUp to 3 LoRA weights. Each item uses {path, scale}, where path points to the LoRA file and scale controls its influence.
seedNoRandom seed. Use -1 for random generation.

Pricing

Pricing is based on the selected resolution, with a fixed $0.015 LoRA surcharge per generation included in the table.

ResolutionPrice per Image
1K$0.035
1.5K$0.045
2K$0.055
3K$0.095
4K$0.135

Aspect ratio, output format, and seed do not add separate charges.

Notes

  • prompt is required.
  • resolution defaults to 1k; output_format defaults to jpeg.
  • Use seed=-1 for random seed selection.
  • Up to 3 LoRA weights per request, each as {path, scale}.

Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3-image/text-to-image-lora 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. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora below.

Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora API?

Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora is a WaveSpeedAI model for image generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. MiniMax H3 Image, the open-weights release of MiniMax's image model, generates detailed, photorealistic images from text prompts with custom LoRA weights, 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.

How do I call the Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora API?

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-text-to-image-lora.

How much does Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora cost per run or per second?

Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora starts at $0.02 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.

What inputs does Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `seed`, `loras`, `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-text-to-image-lora.

How long does Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora take to generate?

Reported generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 29 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.

Can I use Minimax H3 Image Text To Image Lora outputs commercially?

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.
