Results

What you can make with FLUX 3 Klein

  • A red-haired freckled woman in a cobalt silk halter dress leaning against a sunlit ochre wall, looking over her shoulder

    Two references

    A dress from one photo, a woman from another

    The prompt names <ref_image_1> and <ref_image_2>: the woman from the first photo now wears the cobalt halter dress from the second, with her face and freckles kept and the light moved to late-afternoon sun.

    Edit with two references: a portrait and a dress on a hanger.

  • A woman with sun-streaked brown hair in an ochre linen dress leaning on a wooden ladder in a lemon grove, a basket of lemons on her hip

    Text to image

    Skin, linen and dappled noon light

    One paragraph, 3:4 at 1k: a woman against a picking ladder in a lemon grove, light broken up by the leaves.

    Text to image, 3:4 at 1k.

  • A bearded man in an open white linen shirt mending a fishing net on a stone quay at sunset

    Single-image edit

    Same man, new shirt, new hour

    An overcast quay at morning became a low amber sunset; the sweater became an open linen shirt, and his face, beard and the net in his hands stayed.

    Edit of one photo, auto shape.

Content test

Is FLUX 3 Klein uncensored? What we tested

We ran each level on our live setup and checked every clip frame by frame. A pass means the content was actually on screen, not just that the request went through.

How each mode behaves

All modes
Two size tiers only, 1k and 2k; the 4K tier Black Forest Labs mentions is not offered here. No negative prompt, no step or guidance control and no bounding-box layout field. One image per request.
All modes
There is no content filter, but the model has limits of its own. In our tests unfiltered portraits of women came through with fine detail softened, while the strongest requests came back toned down.
Image editing
Editing takes one to three sources. With auto the result keeps the shape of the first image; pick a ratio to change it. Every source after the first adds a small charge.
All modes
Every person you describe or upload must be an adult. You are responsible for the lawfulness of what you generate and publish, including the rights of anyone shown in a source image. Generated media is retained for 14 days and then deleted.

Use cases

What to build with the FLUX 3 Klein API

  • Fashion and outfit swaps

    Put a garment from one photo on a person from another, keep the face and change the light, in one request.

  • Sultry portraits and stills

    Photographic people, skin and fabric, from moody lamplight to hard island sun, in fifteen shapes for every placement.

  • Fast drafting at scale

    A few seconds per 1k image makes it practical to try many seeds and wordings before you commit to 2k.

  • Unfiltered imagery

    Nothing is reviewed or filtered, and every unfiltered portrait and edit we tested came through.

Prompts

FLUX 3 Klein prompt examples you can copy

Paste one into the playground as it is, then change one thing at a time.

  • Image editing

    Swap in a dress from another photo

    Dress the woman from <ref_image_1> in the cobalt silk halter dress from <ref_image_2>. Keep her face, freckles and copper hair exactly. Move the light to a low golden late-afternoon sun; she leans back against the ochre wall, glancing over her bare shoulder with a slow, smouldering look while the sea breeze lifts her hair.

    Why it works. Two uploads, named <ref_image_1> and <ref_image_2>. The garment comes from the second image, the person from the first, and the prompt lists what must stay.

    This mode starts from your own image: add it in the playground before you run.

    Lemon grove at noon

    Cinematic 35mm photograph in a Sicilian lemon grove at noon. An adult Italian woman about thirty with sun-streaked brown hair leans back against a weathered wooden picking ladder, a woven basket of lemons on her hip, wearing an ochre linen slip dress with one thin strap slipping off her shoulder. Dappled light through glossy leaves, warm skin, a slow sultry glance at the camera. Kodak Portra colour, soft grain.

    Why it works. A full caption in the order the model likes: place and light, person, clothing and the one detail that sets the mood, then lens and film stock.

    Chapel steps at blue hour

    Intimate photograph on the whitewashed steps of a small hilltop chapel at blue hour. An adult couple in their thirties, a Spanish woman in an off-the-shoulder cream cotton dress and a Lebanese man in a loose sand-coloured linen shirt, sit close with their foreheads touching, his hand resting on her bare shoulder, eyes nearly closed. A single warm lamp above the chapel door, indigo sky, soft film grain, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field.

    Why it works. Two people, each with their own clothing and pose, and a single light source named; the model kept both faces distinct.

Get started

How to use the FLUX 3 Klein API in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Write a full scene caption

    Its makers say a full caption works best: framing, subject, clothing, place, light and lens in plain sentences. There is no negative prompt, so describe what you want to see.

  2. Step 2

    Name your sources when editing

    Upload up to three images and refer to them as <ref_image_1>, <ref_image_2> and so on, in upload order. In our tests "image 2" and "the second image" also pointed at the right picture.

  3. Step 3

    Draft at 1k, finish at 2k

    A 1k image takes a few seconds and costs a quarter of 2k. Fix the seed, settle the wording, then rerun the same seed at 2k.

Parameter reference and code samples are in the API and Readme tabs at the top of this page.
