FLUX 3, change one thing and keep the rest.

FLUX 3 is the newest image model from Black Forest Labs, and it is built for control. It edits what you name and usually leaves the rest of the picture alone, composes up to ten reference images into one scene, and sets text and objects where you tell it to. It runs in ReelyArt Studio beside Nano Banana, GPT Image 2.5, Seedream and Grok, at five real sizes from 768 to a native 4K.

Editing

Change one thing. Keep the rest.

This is what FLUX 3 is built for. Every pair below is a FLUX 3 image edited by FLUX 3 with one prompt: name the target, say what it becomes, list what stays. Pixels outside the edit usually stay as they were, while light and shadow adapt where the change needs them to. Drag the divider to compare.

Layout and placement

Put things where you want them.

FLUX 3 is trained on layout. Say left, center and right in plain words, or go further with a JSON list of boxes on a 0 to 1000 grid. Boxes are a strong hint rather than a guarantee, and very small elements can still drift.

Photograph of a wooden desk seen from above at a slight angle: exactly three red ceramic mugs in a row on the left, exactly two blue hardcover books stacked on the right, a single yellow pencil lying diagonally across the top book, a green potted cactus in the top-right corner, and an open laptop in the centre showing a plain white screen. Morning light from a window on the left casting shadows to the right. Clean, natural colours.
A flower market stall with a florist on the left, flowers in the center and a chalk price sign on the right, made with FLUX 3
Left, center, rightThree zones in plain language, plus a small chalk sign with a currency symbol.
Prompt
Photograph of a busy outdoor flower market stall: on the left, a young florist with a messy bun and a green apron wraps a bouquet of white peonies in brown paper; in the centre, buckets of pink tulips, orange ranunculus and blue hydrangeas; on the right, a small chalk sign reading "£5 a bunch" and a vintage brass scale. A customer's hand reaches in from the right edge holding coins. Morning light, shallow depth of field, natural colours.
A rock climber on a sheer sandstone cliff in a tall 1:2 frame, made with FLUX 3
A tall frame used for heightAt 1:2 the composition rises with the cliff instead of stretching a square scene.
Prompt
Tall vertical photograph of a young rock climber in a yellow t-shirt and chalk-dusted hands reaching for the next hold on a sheer sandstone cliff, the camera looking up from below so the cliff rises to a narrow strip of blue sky, the climber small but sharp, chalk dust drifting, warm late sun, dramatic sense of height.

Side by side

Same prompt, three models.

The same prompt and the same inputs at 2K on FLUX 3, Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst at its high setting. All three passed all three tests; the difference is how literally each one follows the source.

Background swap and relight

All three moved the dancer to a neon street and relit him convincingly. FLUX 3 kept the pose and face closest to the source; GPT Image 2.5 restyled the scene the most.

Prompt
Place the dancer in a narrow neon-lit Tokyo side street at night after rain, with glowing signs and colourful reflections on the wet asphalt behind and below him. Relight him with matching cool blue and magenta neon light. Keep his exact mid-air pose, face, body proportions and clothing unchanged.

An outfit from five references

All three dressed the model in all five pieces. GPT Image 2.5 made the most polished street photo; FLUX 3 stayed the most literal to the product shots.

Prompt
Street-style fashion photograph of a young East Asian woman in her early twenties striding confidently across a sunny downtown street, wearing the cropped denim jacket from image 1 over the white ribbed tank top from image 2, the olive cargo pants from image 3, the chunky white-and-lilac sneakers from image 4, and the black crossbody bag from image 5 worn across her chest. Low camera angle, 35mm lens, wind in her long hair, golden afternoon light, candid editorial energy.

A six-language poster

A draw: all three set every language correctly. FLUX 3 has the cleanest hierarchy, GPT Image 2.5 the most designed look.

A vibrant summer music festival poster. At the top, the title "SUMMER SOUND FESTIVAL" in large bold condensed letters. In the middle, the same welcome line in six languages, each on its own line in clean modern type: "Welcome to the festival" / "Bienvenidos al festival" / "Willkommen zum Festival" / "축제에 오신 것을 환영합니다" / "欢迎来到音乐节" / "フェスティバルへようこそ". At the bottom: "JULY 18–20 · SEASIDE PARK". Background: a photo of a young crowd dancing with their arms up at sunset, confetti in the air, warm orange and pink palette, contemporary graphic design.

Why this model

What FLUX 3 is for.

Edits that leave the rest alone

Recolor, replace, remove, move, restage or relight with one sentence. Pixels outside the change usually stay as they were, and several edits can go in one numbered prompt.

Ten references, each with a job

A person, a product, a place and a style can all go in at once. Call them image 1 to image 10 in the order you attached them and the prompt decides what each one is for.

Text and layout on request

Quoted text comes out spelled right, in Latin, Hangul, Hanzi and Kana alike, and objects go where you say: left and right in plain words, or exact boxes on a 0 to 1000 grid.

Five real sizes

768 for 1 credit, 1K for 2, 1.5K for 3, 2K for 4, and a native 4K (5456x3072 at 16:9) for 20. The first two are on the free plan.

Prompt guide

How to prompt FLUX 3.

FLUX 3 reads a prompt in a set order and expands short ones on its own, so a clear sentence beats a pile of adjectives. For an edit the order is target, change, keep.

The shape

Medium: photo, illustration, 3D still
Subject: who or what, doing what
Setting: where it happens
Light: the source and the time of day
Framing: lens, angle, detail
Edit: the target, the change, what stays

A worked example

Change the trench coat to cobalt blue
#1E40AF. Keep the woman, her pose, face,
hair, the rest of her outfit, the bag,
the crosswalk, the street and the light
exactly unchanged.

Name references by number

Image 1, image 2 and so on, in the order you attached them, and give each one a role: who, what, where, or which style to borrow.

Quote the words

Put exact text in quotes and say where it sits: at the top, on the label, bottom left. Text you leave unspecified is where mistakes happen.

Use a hex code for exact color

A code like #1E40AF lands the color you mean. "Blue" lands a blue.

Number several edits

1) recolor, 2) add, 3) remove, then one keep clause for everything else. One request, one generation.

Skip quality tags and negatives

Words like "masterpiece" or "ultra detailed" add nothing, and there is no negative prompt. Describe what you want to see instead.

Keep the ratio when you edit

At the image’s own aspect ratio the change happens in place. Pick a different ratio and the scene is recomposed to the new shape.

FAQ

Before you generate.

Last verified 2 Oct 2026

Does FLUX 3 keep the rest of my image unchanged?

Mostly, yes. Black Forest Labs says pixels outside the edit usually stay the same, while shadows, reflections and nearby light can adapt so the change sits naturally. Say what should stay in the prompt, and edit at the image’s own aspect ratio so the change happens in place.

How many reference images can I use?

Up to ten, on any plan. In our tests every detail held with five or fewer; at ten, faces and products still carried over but fine placement loosened. Refer to them as image 1, image 2 and so on, in the order you attached them.

Can FLUX 3 write text in other languages?

Yes. Our six-language poster (English, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese and Japanese) came out correct on the first try. Quote the exact words and say where they go; small text you did not ask for can still come out garbled.

Can I control where things go in the image?

Yes. Plain instructions like left, center and right work, and for exact placement you can add a JSON list of boxes on a 0 to 1000 grid to the prompt. Boxes are a strong hint rather than a guarantee, and very small elements can drift.

FLUX 3, Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image 2.5?

All three passed our relight, outfit and six-language tests. FLUX 3 stayed the most faithful to the source photo and the references, and GPT Image 2.5 restyled the most. Pick FLUX 3 when the original, or the products in it, have to survive the change.

Does an edit cost more than a new image?

No. An edit costs the same as one image at the tier you pick: 1 credit at 768, 2 at 1K, 3 at 1.5K, 4 at 2K and 20 at 4K. Failed generations are refunded automatically.

Is FLUX 3 free to use?

Its 768 and 1K tiers are on the free plan, and the 10 signup credits cover 5 images at 1K. 1.5K, 2K and 4K need a paid plan. No Black Forest Labs account or API key is involved.
