Overview

What is Mango 3?

Mango is Mage's own image family, built for character work, scene merging, and editing, and available only on Mage. Mango 3 is the current model and the default for images across the Mage app, the assistant, and the API.

Save a face as a Character once and Mango keeps it the same across a whole set. Give it several references, such as a person, an outfit, and a place, and it merges them into one scene. Ask for an edit and it changes what you name while the rest of the picture stays put.

Strengths

What Mango 3 does best

Best at

  • The same character across a whole set of images, from a saved Character
  • Merging people, outfits, objects, and places from several references into one scene
  • Edits that change exactly what you ask and leave the rest of the image alone
  • Prompts with precise instructions that have to land: counts, positions, wardrobe
  • Cinematic key art and rich fantasy worlds

Trade-offs

  • Mango 3 is the most expensive Mango; Mango 3 Turbo is the fast, low-cost draft model
  • Mango 3 stops at 2K: Mango 3S reaches 3K and Mango 2 reaches 4K
  • There is no negative prompt, so describe what you want in the scene instead
  • The original Mango takes no Characters or references

Prompt guide

How to prompt Mango 3

Tips that work on this model, then example prompts to start from.

Tips

  • Lead with the subject and what they are doing, then the setting, then the light and the lens. Mango weighs what comes first.
  • Mention a saved Character by its @handle instead of describing the face: the handle stays consistent, a description drifts.
  • Give each reference a role: who wears what, and where they stand ("@ana wearing @red-coat in @night-market").
  • For an edit, upload the image and say only what changes, then add "keep everything else the same".
  • Spell out counts and positions ("two cups on the left, one on the right"): Mango 3 is built to follow exact instructions.
  • Draft compositions on Mango 3 Turbo, then render the keeper on Mango 3 with the same prompt.
  • Name a film stock, a lens, or a poster genre to set the whole look in a few words.

Example prompts

  • Cinematic key art

    K-drama key art: a young couple sharing one clear umbrella on a bridge over a wide river at night, city lights blurred behind them, rain catching the light, 35mm, shallow depth of field

  • A precise edit of an upload

    Keep the person, the pose, and the background exactly as they are. Change the jacket to deep red leather and add light rain with wet reflections on the street.
