Introduction
LTX-2.3 LoRA Image to video animates one photo with up to three of your LoRA files loaded and a soundtrack generated in the same pass. It runs Lightricks' open 22-billion-parameter audio-video model; clips run 5 to 20 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p in the photo's own shape.

Key features
Styles redraw your photo
A style LoRA turns the still into its style as the clip starts; in our tests a photo became claymation and another an oil painting.
Effects on real photos
In our test an effect LoRA at strength 1 applied to the person in the photo.
Sound included
Every clip has a stereo soundtrack; describe it on an "Audio:" line.
Request parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
duration_seconds | No | How long the clip runs. You pay per second. ≥ 5 · ≤ 20 · Default: 5 |
image_url | Yes | The picture to start from. |
loras | No | Load your own LoRA files to lock in a style or character. Default: [] |
prompt | Yes | Describe what happens after the opening frame: the action, the camera and the sound. Put LoRA trigger words first. |
resolution | No | Output size. Bigger sizes look sharper and cost more. 480p · 720p · 1080p · Default: 720p |

Pricing
Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.
| Option | Credits per second | ≈ USD |
|---|---|---|
| resolution 480p | 3.6 | $0.036 |
| resolution 720p | 5.4 | $0.054 |

For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.
Use cases
Stylised animation of real photos
One style LoRA, a set of photos, a consistent animated look.
Character and effect LoRAs on your stills
Bring the community LoRA that fits the shot and animate your own frame with it.
Prompt guide & pro tips
Raise the strength for photos
Start style LoRAs at 1 to 1.3; at 0.8 an oil-painting LoRA barely showed, at 1.6 it changed a face.
Name the people
Describing who is in the photo helps a strong style keep them recognisable.
Stay in the picture
Describe what happens next in this frame rather than a new place.
API quick start
Call the LTX-2.3 LoRA API in three steps
- Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
- Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model lightricks/ltx-2.3-lora/image-to-video and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
- Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.
# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "lightricks/ltx-2.3-lora/image-to-video",
"input": {
"prompt": "A slow aerial shot drifting over a misty pine forest at sunrise",
"image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp",
"resolution": "720p",
"duration_seconds": 5
}
}'
# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
LTX-2.3 LoRA API questions
How much does the LTX-2.3 LoRA API cost?
LTX-2.3 LoRA starts at 18 credits ($0.18) for a 5-second clip with Image to Video, its cheapest task. Prices by option: 480p 3.6 credits per second, 720p 5.4 credits per second, 1080p 7.2 credits per second. Credits are the same as on the website (1 credit = $0.01), new accounts get 30 free credits, and failed tasks are refunded.
What is the model name for LTX-2.3 LoRA in the API?
Put lightricks/ltx-2.3-lora/text-to-video for Create Video; lightricks/ltx-2.3-lora/image-to-video for Image to Video in the model field of POST /jobs/createTask.
Which LoRAs work here?
Files trained for LTX-2.3 (the 22B model), such as the style, effect and character LoRAs listed under LTX-2.3 on Hugging Face and Civitai. LoRAs for LTX-2 19B, Wan, HunyuanVideo or image models will not give you their look on this model.
Can I use a Civitai link?
Yes. The civitai.com/api/download/models/... link of a LoRA loaded in our test and gave the same clip as the Hugging Face copy of the same file. Use the download link, not the model page.
My LoRA loaded but nothing changed. Why?
It was most likely trained for a different base model: in our test a Wan LoRA loaded without an error and the clip matched the run without it. Check the trigger words too, and on image-to-video try a higher strength.
What strength should I use?
On text-to-video, 0.5 to 1 for styles and effects. On image-to-video start at 1 to 1.3: the opening photo holds its look, and above about 1.3 a style LoRA can change faces.
What are the limits of the LTX-2.3 LoRA API?
Clip length: 5–20 s; Resolutions: 480p · 720p · 1080p. Requests outside these limits are rejected before anything is charged.
Can I try LTX-2.3 LoRA without writing code?
Yes. The Playground runs LTX-2.3 LoRA on your PopNow credits, needs no API key, and shows the matching code for every run.
All LTX models
LTX-2 19B LoRA takes LoRAs trained for the older 19B model.
