About this model
FLUX 3 Text-to-Image is Black Forest Labs' newest frontier model, announced as a unified multimodal system trained jointly across image, video, and audio data. Unlike prior FLUX generations that focused solely on still images, FLUX 3 shares its underlying architecture with FLUX 3 Video and FLUX 3 Action, giving it a stronger grasp of real-world physics, lighting, and composition. Early testers including Canva, Magnific, Krea, and Picsart report sharper detail and more coherent scene layouts than FLUX.2 Pro. Muapi is bringing FLUX 3 Text-to-Image online as soon as Black Forest Labs opens general access, alongside FLUX Kontext for editing workflows.

Write a detailed prompt — describe subject, lighting, composition, and style. FLUX 3 responds well to specific, cinematic language.
Set aspect_ratio and resolution — choose from 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 2:3, 3:2, or 21:9, at up to 4k.
Submit the request — once live, call the endpoint below and poll for the result:

FLUX 3 is Black Forest Labs' new multimodal frontier model, announced July 2026, trained jointly across image, video, and audio within a single architecture. It also extends to action prediction for robotics use cases.
FLUX 3 Image is rolling out in the coming weeks after Black Forest Labs' initial early-access launch of FLUX 3 Video and Action. Muapi will enable this endpoint as soon as general API access opens.
FLUX 3 shares a unified architecture across image, video, and audio generation (Black Forest Labs' Self-Flow approach), whereas FLUX.2 is an image-only model family. This gives FLUX 3 stronger real-world coherence and physical plausibility.
Black Forest Labs has stated that faster, open-weight versions of FLUX 3 will follow later in 2026, continuing the same open-access approach as FLUX.1 and FLUX.2.
Create a free Muapi account and API key today — the flux-3-text-to-image endpoint will activate automatically for existing users once Black Forest Labs opens general availability.
Based on Black Forest Labs' announcement and prior FLUX generations, expect support for standard aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and more) at up to 4k resolution.
