A finished photo, 3D render or illustration from a rough sketch, true to its lines.

What do I need to bring?

Render as: Photorealistic, 3D render, Illustration or Watercolor.

How much does it cost?

From $0.20 an image, and you see the exact price before you press go. A run that fails costs nothing, there is no subscription, and your first top-up has no card fee.

Can I use the result 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.

Yes. Developers run it as leap/sketch-to-render through the Leap API, at the same price, with the same choices.
