Luma UNI-1 Max: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
Luma AI's UNI-1 Max editor: up to 8 reference images, 1K or 2K output, 14-20 credits per edit. Open the Image Edit tool, select Luma UNI-1 Max, upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
UNI-1 is Luma AI's image model — the same lab behind the Ray and Dream Machine video models — and UNI-1 Max is the version VdoBloom runs. It's an editor: upload up to 8 reference images and describe the change, and it merges or applies edits across them in one job. There's no from-scratch text-to-image mode on this listing; it works from images you provide.
Framing covers seven standard aspect ratios — 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, and 2:3 — with a resolution selector between 1K and 2K. Unlike some flat-priced editors on VdoBloom, the two resolution tiers here are priced differently: 14 credits at 1K, 20 credits at 2K.
It rates 4.3 with VdoBloom users and carries a MODERATE content label — standard filtering, not the strict tier Google's Nano Banana models carry, and not the more permissive HOT tier either. As with every model on VdoBloom, the exact credit cost for your chosen resolution is confirmed before you generate, and a failed job is refunded automatically.
What it costs on VdoBloom
Luma UNI-1 Max is genuinely resolution-priced: 14 credits at 1K, 20 credits at 2K — a real cost difference, unlike several other editors on VdoBloom that charge the same price regardless of resolution. Budget for the 2K tier if the deliverable needs it; there's a meaningful 6-credit gap between the two.
Luma UNI-1 Max vs. Nano Banana 2
Both are multi-reference editors, but they scale differently. Nano Banana 2 goes further on every spec — 14 images vs. 8, 15 aspect ratios (including extreme panoramic formats) vs. 7 standard ones, and up to 4K vs. UNI-1 Max's 2K ceiling — while charging a flat 15 credits at any resolution. UNI-1 Max's 1K tier (14 credits) undercuts Nano Banana 2 slightly, but its 2K tier (20 credits) costs more. The practical differentiator is content filtering: UNI-1 Max's MODERATE rating is looser than Nano Banana 2's STRICT rating, which matters if you've hit refusals on the stricter model.
What creators use Luma UNI-1 Max for

Is Luma UNI-1 Max free to try?
