Flux 3 on NightCafe

What is Flux 3?

Flux 3 is Black Forest Labs' newest image model on NightCafe. It launched in October 2026 as a single PRO model.

20 October 2026: Flux 3 Klein is now on NightCafe as the fast, affordable Flux 3 — 1K from 0.75 credits, 4K from 10, prompt-to-edit, and up to 4 reference images. Use Klein when you want Flux 3 without flagship prices. Full Flux 3 remains the higher-end option (up to 10 references included in the output price).

It is the next generation after Flux 2: native 4K output, prompt-to-edit, up to 10 reference images (included in the output price), consistent characters, and accurate text you can change in place.

Independent Artificial Analysis text-to-image arenas now list FLUX 3 Image around the low teens (Elo about 1117, as of 20 October 2026). On NightCafe, treat full Flux 3 as a premium high-resolution option — not the everyday 1-credit pick. For most prompts, start with GPT Image 2.5 Flare on Quality Low (~1 credit) or Muse Image (~2 credits). For cheaper Flux 3, use Flux 3 Klein.

What it's good at

Native 4K — Ultra resolution is about 4096×4096 on a square image, with High at about 2K and Medium at about 1K.
Prompt to Edit — add a start image and describe the change, including edits to a background, object, or wording.
Multi-image fusion — combine up to 10 reference images in one generation. Reference images are included in the output price (they do not add extra credits).
Consistent characters — keep a subject looking the same across creations.
Typography — accurate text you can change in place.

How to use it

In Studio, pick Flux 3 from the model picker. Write a prompt, optionally add start images, choose Resolution, then Generate.

You can generate up to 4 images at a time. Resolution defaults to Medium (about 1K).

Write a clear brief: subject, action, setting, camera, and any exact text in quotation marks. For an edit, add the image as a Start Image and describe only the change.

A square product photo for an online shop. A ceramic pour-over coffee dripper in matte speckled cream sits on a walnut board, with a linen cloth and a small bowl of coffee beans. Soft window light from the left. The kraft card in front reads "HOUSE BLEND". Photoreal, clean background.

Change the card text to "SINGLE ORIGIN" and keep the dripper, board, lighting, and camera position the same.

Resolution and credits

Credits are per image and depend on Resolution. Reference images are included in that price.

Resolution	About	Credits
Low	~0.75K (768×768 square)	4
Medium (default)	~1K (1024×1024 square)	4.75
High	~2K (2048×2048 square)	10
Ultra	~4K (4096×4096 square)	60.75

Flux 3 is not an unlimited model. Higher-cost settings typically need Fast Credits.
