Questions
IC-Light v2, answered
- What is IC-Light v2?
- IC-Light v2 is an image editing model from lllyasviel. Relights a photo and changes its background from a description. It is new on Leap and in preview: it works, and it may still change. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.
- Can IC-Light v2 start from a photo?
- Yes. IC-Light v2 starts from words or a photo.
- What resolution and sizes does it make?
- 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 4:3 or 16:9.
- How much does a run cost?
- An image costs $0.135. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
- Is IC-Light v2 free to try?
- No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.135 (an image), so $5 covers 37 of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
- Can I use what I make commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as lllyasviel/ic-light-v2, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
- Do I need a lllyasviel account?
- No. Leap sends your request to lllyasviel's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs IC-Light v2 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
Your idea, IC-Light v2.
Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.

The request
The same envelope for every model; only the model and its input change. With prefer: wait=60 the answer holds the result when the run finishes within a minute; a longer one is read again by its ID. A file input takes the ID that POST /v1/files returns for your upload. Agents can call it through the MCP server at app.tryleap.ai/api/mcp.
