AI image generator
Create images from a written prompt
Describe the photo you want and Luma generates it. The same workspace that makes video also makes stills, so an image you create here can go straight into image-to-video or the photo editor. Choose from the models currently available and review the exact credit cost before creating.
Available models, settings and costs are shown inside the product before you create.

Practical guidance
An image is often the first step
Generating a still is useful on its own, and it is also the cleanest way to fix the look of something before it moves.
Set the look before animating
Generate the frame you want, then take it into image-to-video so the motion starts from a picture you have already approved.
Edit it without starting again
Send a generated image to the photo editor and change one thing about it rather than rewriting the prompt.
Use it as a frame
A generated still can act as the start or end frame when you want a shot to travel between two fixed points.
