Flux 3 AI Docs

Learn how to use Flux 3 AI for fast text to image generation, image editing, references, typography, and production-ready visual workflows.

Flux 3 AI is an online workspace for generating photoreal images, refining uploaded photos, and guiding edits with clear prompts and reference images. Use this guide to understand the product workflow, prepare stronger prompts, and move from a rough idea to visuals that are ready for review or publishing.

What Flux 3 AI is

Flux 3 AI combines text to image, image to image, prompt optimization, and reference-guided editing in one practical creative loop. It is built for creators and teams who need more control than a one-shot image generator, but less friction than a full production handoff.

You can use Flux 3 AI to:

  • create product shots, campaign visuals, UI mockups, storyboards, posters, and social graphics
  • refine an uploaded photo while preserving the parts that should stay unchanged
  • use references to keep a product, face, style, pose, or layout consistent
  • generate visuals where text placement, hierarchy, and readable wording matter
  • compare variations quickly and refine the strongest direction

Who Flux 3 AI is for

Flux 3 AI fits people who need fast visual output with practical control:

  • Marketers creating ad angles, campaign drafts, thumbnails, and launch visuals.
  • Ecommerce teams turning product references into cleaner catalog, lifestyle, or promotional images.
  • Designers and creative leads testing art direction, composition, and UI concepts before production.
  • Founders and indie makers preparing landing page imagery, mockups, and social assets.
  • Creators and photographers exploring portraits, backgrounds, lighting changes, and style variations.
  • Developers and product teams drafting UI mockups, diagrams, and visual concepts that need clear structure.

Core workflows

Text to image

Use text to image when you want a fresh visual from a written brief. The strongest prompts describe the subject, setting, camera view, lighting, materials, mood, aspect ratio, and any words that should appear inside the image.

This workflow is useful for:

  • product concepts and lifestyle scenes
  • hero images and landing page visuals
  • posters, labels, and social graphics
  • UI mockups and presentation imagery
  • storyboards, thumbnails, and campaign directions

Image to image

Use image to image when you already have a photo, sketch, product shot, or draft and want to improve or restyle it. Tell Flux 3 AI what should change and what must remain stable.

This workflow is useful when you need to preserve:

  • face or subject identity
  • product angle
  • composition
  • layout
  • lighting direction

Reference-guided control

Upload one or more references when consistency matters. References can guide identity, product shape, style direction, pose, color, framing, and scene layout.

For better control, explain the role of each reference:

  • use this image for product shape
  • use this image for color and material
  • use this image for pose or composition
  • keep the face, layout, or object details unchanged
  • change only the background, lighting, or style

Targeted editing

Targeted edits help you keep the best composition while fixing weak spots. Ask for specific changes such as a cleaner background, sharper product detail, adjusted lighting, tighter framing, improved typography, or a different mood.

Quick start workflow

Follow this flow when you want reliable results:

  1. Write a precise prompt Describe the subject, camera angle, aspect ratio, lighting, mood, materials, and any required image text. Clear constraints help Flux 3 AI follow the brief.

  2. Upload references when useful Add product, character, style, or composition references when consistency matters. State what each reference should control.

  3. Generate and compare Run a first set and inspect anatomy, typography, lighting, product detail, and scene logic. Choose the strongest direction before making edits.

  4. Refine the result Ask for targeted improvements such as cleaner text, a different background, tighter framing, or preserved product details. Export the version that is ready for review.

Key features

Prompt-guided creation

Flux 3 AI keeps the workflow centered on natural language. Start with a simple brief, then add the details that matter for the final image:

  • subject and action
  • scene and environment
  • camera view and framing
  • lighting and mood
  • material texture and color
  • exact text requirements
  • constraints for what should stay unchanged

Reference-aware editing

Use references to preserve a product, face, style, or scene structure while changing only the requested details. This is especially helpful when you need a coherent image series for catalogs, campaigns, characters, or branded visuals.

Photoreal detail

Flux 3 AI is designed for scenes with believable light, material texture, depth, and product context. It is useful for ecommerce imagery, lifestyle concepts, portraits, and premium campaign drafts that need to look intentional.

Readable visual text

Flux 3 AI is useful when typography is part of the image, not an afterthought. Use it for posters, labels, interface mockups, diagrams, packaging concepts, and social graphics where visual hierarchy matters. Always review spelling and layout before publishing.

Fast creative iteration

Move from prompt to variations to focused edits in one flow. Keep the best composition, adjust the weak spots, and prepare images for client review, internal feedback, or publishing.

Prompt checklist

Use this checklist before generating:

  • Subject: what appears in the image?
  • Purpose: is it for an ad, product card, mockup, poster, or storyboard?
  • Composition: close-up, wide shot, centered product, split layout, or specific hierarchy?
  • Camera: lens, angle, depth of field, perspective, or framing?
  • Lighting: soft studio light, dramatic rim light, daylight, neon, or product photography setup?
  • Style: photoreal, editorial, cinematic, minimal, sketch, 3D, or branded?
  • Text: exact wording, placement, scale, and language if the image needs readable words.
  • Constraints: what must stay fixed, such as face, product shape, pose, logo placement, or layout?
  • Output: aspect ratio and expected use, such as square social post, banner, portrait, or widescreen slide.

Reference image tips

References work best when they are clear and intentional:

  • upload high-quality images with the important subject visible
  • use fewer references when the creative direction is simple
  • use multiple references when identity, style, and composition each need guidance
  • describe what to borrow from each reference
  • state what should not be copied if a reference is only for mood or layout

Production review checklist

Before exporting, review the image like a real production asset:

  • Are product details, faces, hands, and key objects correct?
  • Is the lighting believable and consistent with the scene?
  • Does the composition match the intended platform or layout?
  • Is any text readable and spelled correctly?
  • Are brand colors, materials, and visual identity consistent?
  • Does the final image need disclosure, approval, or additional editing before publication?

Common use cases

Ecommerce product images

Use product references to create lifestyle scenes, cleaner backgrounds, alternate moods, and campaign-ready drafts while keeping the product recognizable.

Marketing and ads

Generate several visual angles for one offer, then compare which composition, lighting, or message feels strongest before production.

UI and product mockups

Create interface concepts, app visuals, diagrams, and presentation graphics where clean alignment and visual text matter.

Portrait and photo edits

Explore background, lighting, style, and mood changes without losing the feeling of the original photo.

Storyboards and concepts

Move quickly from a written scene idea to visual frames that can guide creative reviews, scripts, or design conversations.
