Introducing WaveSpeedAI WAN 2.1 I2V 480p LoRA on WaveSpeedAI

Unlock Custom Video Styles with WAN 2.1 Image-to-Video 480P LoRA

The creative possibilities of AI video generation just expanded significantly. WaveSpeedAI is excited to announce the availability of WAN 2.1 Image-to-Video 480P with Custom LoRA Support—a powerful model that combines state-of-the-art video generation with the flexibility to apply personalized styles, effects, and motion dynamics to your creations.

Whether you’re a content creator looking to establish a consistent visual brand, a filmmaker exploring new artistic directions, or a developer building video-powered applications, this model delivers the customization you need without sacrificing quality or speed.

What is WAN 2.1 I2V 480P LoRA?

WAN 2.1 represents a breakthrough in open-source video generation technology. Developed as part of Alibaba’s comprehensive video foundation model suite, WAN 2.1 has consistently outperformed both open-source alternatives and commercial solutions across multiple benchmarks, achieving a VBench score exceeding 84.7%—demonstrating exceptional temporal coherence, object accuracy, and scene realism.

The LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) capability takes this foundation and adds a crucial layer of customization. Instead of being limited to the base model’s default output style, you can now apply pre-trained LoRA models to inject specific artistic styles, motion characteristics, or visual effects into your generated videos.

This means you can:

• Transform any static image into a video with your signature visual style
• Maintain character and style continuity across multiple video generations
• Apply specialized effects like cinematic film grain, anime aesthetics, or hyper-realistic rendering
• Create branded content that stays consistent with your visual identity

Key Features

Custom LoRA Integration Apply LoRA models directly from Hugging Face or Civitai to customize your video output. Adjust LoRA strength parameters to fine-tune how strongly the style influences your generation—from subtle enhancements to complete stylistic transformations.

State-of-the-Art Quality Built on WAN 2.1’s Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture with a novel 3D causal VAE, the model delivers smooth motion, consistent visual quality frame-to-frame, and natural temporal coherence that rivals premium commercial solutions.

Unlimited Video Length Unlike many video generation models that cap output duration, WAN 2.1’s architecture enables encoding and decoding of extended video sequences without losing historical motion information—perfect for longer-form content.

Efficient 480P Output The 480P resolution strikes an optimal balance between quality and speed, making it ideal for social media content, prototyping, and high-volume production workflows where rapid iteration matters.

Visual Text Generation WAN 2.1 is the first video model capable of generating both Chinese and English text within videos—opening up new possibilities for animated typography, branded content, and educational materials.

Powerful Video VAE The Wan-VAE component reconstructs videos 2.5 times faster than competing models while preserving temporal information, ensuring your videos maintain smooth, natural motion throughout.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Getting up and running with WAN 2.1 I2V 480P LoRA on WaveSpeedAI takes just minutes:

1. Visit the model page at wavespeed.ai/models/wavespeed-ai/wan-2.1/i2v-480p-lora

2. Upload your source image and enter a descriptive prompt for the motion and action you want to see

3. Add your LoRA by pasting a Hugging Face or Civitai URL and adjusting the strength parameter to control style influence

4. Configure generation settings including aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1), frame count (for 1-5 second videos), and any additional parameters

5. Generate and receive your customized video through our REST API or web interface

WaveSpeedAI handles all the infrastructure complexity. There are no cold starts, no GPU provisioning headaches, and no unexpected latency spikes. Your requests are processed on optimized hardware with consistent, predictable performance.

API Integration

For developers, our REST API makes integration straightforward:

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.wavespeed.ai/v1/generate",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "model": "wavespeed-ai/wan-2.1/i2v-480p-lora",
        "image_url": "https://your-image-url.com/image.png",
        "prompt": "A woman walking through a forest, cinematic lighting",
        "lora_url": "https://huggingface.co/your-lora-model",
        "lora_strength": 0.8
    }
)
