FLUX 3 Text to Image example
Example — generated from this input

Clean studio product photo of three craft coffee bags standing side by side on a light oak shelf against a warm plaster wall. The bags are sage green, terracotta and cream, each with a minimalist label in crisp black type reading "MORNING RIDGE", "DESERT BLOOM" and "NORTH HARBOR", with a smaller line underneath each reading "Single Origin". Soft morning light, gentle shadows, precise centered composition, sharp packaging detail.

Pricing

Unit price $0.024 / megapixel

Billed by the actual pixels of each image; larger sizes and more images cost more. 1024×1024 is about 1 megapixel.

Typically about $0.024 per request at default settings.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.024; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.
