Luma AI
What Luma AI is
Luma AI creates images and videos from written prompts, photos, and video clips, with tools for editing and transforming the results. Images can go to the photo editor, become inputs for image-to-video, or serve as a video's first or final frame. Video features include lip sync, extension, reframing, enhancement, motion transfer, and first-and-last-frame generation. Generated images are stored in a private library for reuse. Luma is available on iOS and the web, and connects to Claude through an MCP connector; those generations also spend Luma credits. Credit use varies by model, duration, and settings, with the cost shown before creation. There is no free plan. One-time options are Single Video at $2.99, paid once, Credit Pack 4,500 at $9.99, paid once, Credit Pack 10,000 at $19.99, paid once, and Credit Pack 28,000 at $49.99, paid once. Monthly costs $49.99 a month; Yearly costs $99.99 a year. Terms allow user inputs and outputs to be used to train and improve models, subject to applicable controls.
