Is FLUX 3 Max free?

Not unlimited, but your first clip is free. Sign up and you get 180 credits with no card, which is exactly one 5-second 720p video made by FLUX 3 Max. After that you pay per second, and a failed video is refunded.

Free first clip: 180 credits on sign-up, no card needed.

The short answer

FLUX 3 Max is a paid video model: the company that serves it bills for every second of video it makes, and its weights are not published, so there is nothing to download and run for free. On Flux3Max.io a new account gets 180 free credits when it signs up, with no card, and that is one 5-second clip at 720p with sound. It is a real clip from the same tool everyone uses, with no watermark, and it stays in My videos for 30 days.

If the free clip fails, nothing is taken: a failed video is refunded, and a request our checks refuse costs nothing. If it works and you want more, you buy a one-time pack and credits never expire. There is no subscription.

What a clip costs here after the free one

Credits are 36 a second at 720p and 62 a second at 1080p, the same for text and for photos. The dollar range is the price at the largest pack and at the smallest pack.

What the free clip is, and is not

  • A whole clip

    180 credits cover a 5-second video at 720p, with sound, from text or from a photo as the first frame.

  • Your own account

    You sign in with Google or an email code. The clip stays in My videos for 30 days and you can download it.

  • No card, no trial clock

    There is nothing to cancel. The credits do not expire while your account is active.

  • Same checks as everyone

    The text you type and any photo you upload are checked first, and a request that breaks the Content Policy is refused and costs nothing.

What the same model costs elsewhere

FLUX 3 Max is served through fal's API, which bills per second of video: $0.17 a second at 720p and $0.29 at 1080p, with a 75 percent promotion until 7 November 2026 that brings them to $0.0425 and $0.0725. A 5-second clip at 720p is therefore $0.85 at the regular price, or about 21 cents while the promotion lasts. fal's playground asks you to sign in to run a prompt, and fal's pricing page, as we read it, lists prepaid credits and mentions no free credits. Check fal's own pages before you rely on that: prices and promotions change.

Black Forest Labs describes FLUX 3 Max on its models page as a fast video model that makes a 10-second video in 12 seconds, and marks open weights only for other FLUX 3 models, not for the video ones. We did not check free tiers of other video services, so we do not list any. If a service says FLUX 3 Max is free, look for what it limits: length, resolution, watermarks or a daily cap.

Is FLUX 3 Max free? Questions

Is FLUX 3 Max free?

Not unlimited. The model is billed per second by the company that serves it. On Flux3Max.io a new account gets 180 free credits on sign-up, enough for one 5-second 720p video with sound, and after that you buy credits.

Do I need a credit card for the free clip?

No. Sign in with Google or an email code and the 180 credits are in your account.

How long can the free video be?

180 credits are 5 seconds at 720p (36 credits a second). A longer clip or 1080p costs more than the free credits cover, and the price shows before you start.

Does the free clip have a watermark?

No. It is the same file as any other clip from the tool, and you can download it as an MP4.

What if the free clip fails?

Nothing is taken. A failed video is refunded and you can try again.

Can I run FLUX 3 Max on my own computer for free?

Not as far as we can tell: Black Forest Labs' models page marks open weights for two other FLUX 3 models and does not mark the video ones, and fal serves FLUX 3 Max on its own servers.

How much does FLUX 3 Max cost on fal?

$0.17 a second at 720p and $0.29 at 1080p, with a 75 percent promotion until 7 November 2026. See fal's model page for the current price.

How do I get more credits?

Buy a one-time pack from $9.90 for 1,000 credits. Credits do not expire and there is no subscription.

Is this an official FLUX 3 Max site?

Flux3Max.io is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Black Forest Labs or fal; FLUX is a trademark of Black Forest Labs, and model names belong to their owners.
