Luma AI: The company that actually makes Ray 3.2, selling access to it directly alongside its other models. The first place to look before paying a third party for the same thing.

Third-party web access to Luma's Ray 3.2 video model
As of 17 September 2026, Ray32 starts at $9.9/one-time. Independent third-party tool that runs Luma AI's Ray 3. Softwr lists it under Video Production. Ray32 is available on Web.
Overview
Ray32 is a web front end for Ray 3.2, the video generation model made by Luma AI. It is not Luma's own product and does not claim to be: the site states plainly that it "is an independent third-party Ray 3.2 AI Video Generator tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially associated with Luma AI, Inc." What it sells is access, in a browser, on prepaid credits, without a Luma subscription or a local GPU. Four workflows are offered. Text-to-video takes a scene description and returns a clip. Image-to-video takes a reference frame plus a description of the motion, camera path and tone. Video edit takes an existing clip and applies a described visual change. Reframing changes a clip's aspect ratio without cropping, which is the one most likely to earn its keep on repeat work. Output runs at 540p, 720p or 1080p, with native 16-bit HDR generation, MP4 download and 16-bit EXR export. Text and image-to-video produce 5 or 10 second clips, video editing handles up to 20 seconds, and reframing accepts sources up to 12 seconds. Credits are priced per second of output and scale with resolution: 4 credits a second at 540p, 9 at 720p and 18 at 1080p for generation, 6, 10 or 19 for editing, and 3, 5 or 16 for reframing. Packs are one-off purchases from $9.90 for 160 credits to $99.90 for 3,330, credits never expire, and the site states they are deducted on success only. Commercial usage rights are included on every tier.
The honest half
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Ray32.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Runway: A full video generation platform with its own models, editing timeline and team features, rather than browser access to somebody else's model.


Pika: Competing text and image-to-video generation with its own model and a free tier, which this has none of.


MiniMax H3 Generator: The same operator's other site, doing the same thing for MiniMax's H3 model instead of Luma's Ray.

Image-to-video
Animates a reference image from a description of the motion, camera path and emotional tone.
Video edit
Takes an existing clip up to 20 seconds and applies a described visual change rather than regenerating from scratch.
Reframing without cropping
Changes a clip's aspect ratio while keeping the full frame, on sources up to 12 seconds.
16-bit HDR and EXR export
Native 16-bit HDR generation with EXR export alongside MP4, which matters if the output goes into a grade.
Prepaid credits, no subscription
One-off packs rather than a monthly plan, with credits that never expire and are stated to be deducted only on a successful generation.
Answered, with sources
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
No. Ray 3.2 is made by Luma AI, and Ray32's own footer states it "is an independent third-party Ray 3.2 AI Video Generator tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially associated with Luma AI, Inc." Luma's own platform is listed separately in this catalogue.
SourceOne-off credit packs: $9.90 for 160 credits, $29.90 for 580, $49.90 for 1,100 and $99.90 for 3,330. There is no subscription and the site states credits never expire.
SourceIt is priced per second and rises with resolution. Text and image-to-video cost 4 credits a second at 540p, 9 at 720p and 18 at 1080p. Editing is 6, 10 or 19 a second and reframing 3, 5 or 16. So a ten-second 1080p clip is about 180 credits, which is more than the $9.90 pack holds.
SourceFive or ten seconds for text and image-to-video. Video editing accepts clips up to 20 seconds and reframing accepts sources up to 12.
SourceThe site lists commercial usage rights on every credit pack. Because the model is Luma's rather than theirs, anyone relying on this for client work should also read Luma's own terms.
SourceNo free credits are offered. The cheapest way to generate anything is the $9.90 Starter pack.

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Ray32, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish.
