Features

Alibaba WAN 2.6 Image Edit

Alibaba WAN 2.6 Image Edit (alibaba/wan-2.6/image-edit) is a prompt-driven image-to-image editing model for making targeted changes to an existing image. Upload one or more reference images, describe the edit in plain English, and the model returns an updated image while aiming to preserve the original structure, subject identity, and composition.

It’s a strong fit for fast creative iteration: changing clothing, colors, materials, background mood, adding/removing simple objects, and applying style adjustments without rebuilding the entire scene.

Why it stands out

• Prompt-based edits with strong intent-following for common creative workflows.
• Designed to preserve composition and key subject features while applying localized changes.
• Multi-image reference support for style/subject/background guidance (useful for fusion edits).
• Seed control for repeatable outputs and more consistent iteration.
• Negative prompting support to reduce artifacts (text, watermarks, extra fingers, etc.).

Capabilities

• Image-to-image editing from natural-language instructions
• Multi-image reference editing (1–4 inputs recommended, depending on workflow)
• Style shifts, background swaps, object addition/removal, and material/color changes
• More stable iterative refinement when using a fixed seed

Parameters

How to use

1. Upload one or more images (the main image to edit; optionally add style/background references).

2. Write a clear prompt with two parts:

   • What to change (the edit)
   • What must stay the same (constraints) Example: “Replace the background with a rainy Tokyo street at night, keep the person’s face and pose unchanged.”

3. Optional: add a negative_prompt to reduce unwanted artifacts.

4. Optional: set a fixed seed to make iterations more comparable.

5. Run the model, preview the output, and iterate step-by-step if needed.

Pricing

• $0.035 per run

Notes

• If edits spill into areas you want to preserve, strengthen constraints: “keep the face unchanged”, “keep the background intact”, “do not alter the text”.

• If outputs look inconsistent, try:

  • simplifying the prompt
  • using a fixed seed
  • iterating with smaller changes
