Open generative models for image, video, audio, and 3D
Generate and edit high-quality images for marketing, product visuals, and creative work, using the model family that made Stable Diffusion widely known.
Create and edit video, including 3D and 4D video models designed for immersive worlds in gaming and entertainment.
Work with the Stable Audio model family for music, soundscapes, and sound effects, with open-weight releases trained on licensed data.
Integrate production-ready media generation into your own products via a hosted API, with no infrastructure to manage.

Create 3D models from text and images in seconds
Describe an object and Tripo produces a 3D model, which is useful for fast blocking, prototypes, and concept exploration.
Upload a photo, render, or sketch and get a 3D model that follows the input's shape and details, with models up to roughly 2M polygons.
Smart Mesh produces native quad meshes between 500 and 25K polygons with artist-quality edge flow that import straight into game engines without retopology.
Generate full PBR texture sets up to 8K or clean base-color textures so models match your project's art style.
