What is FLUX 3 Klein?
FLUX 3 Klein is the compact model in FLUX 3, Black Forest Labs' newest family of image models. It is distilled for speed and low cost, so it suits jobs where you make many versions and keep one. It does two things here: text to image, and image to image, where you upload 1 to 10 photos and describe the change. Pictures come out at 1K, 2K or 4K in nine shapes, from tall 9:21 to wide 21:9.
What you can do with FLUX 3 Klein
Combine up to 10 photos
Upload a product, a person and a place, then say how they go together. Call them "the first image", "the second image" and so on, in upload order.
Change one thing, keep the rest
Swap a background, a piece of clothing or a color, and say what must stay. In our tests the face, pose and layout held.
Words on posters and edits
Put the words in quotes and it spells them out, or replaces the title on an existing poster. Read every word before you use the picture.
Photo looks and illustration
Studio product light, daylight catalog shots, film grain, flat graphics and 3D renders all come from the same model.
Wide and tall shapes up to 4K
Nine shapes from 9:21 to 21:9 at 1K, 2K or 4K, for banners, phone wallpapers and slides.
