Features
Wan 2.7 Image-to-Video
Wan 2.7 Image-to-Video animates a reference image into a high-quality cinematic video clip. Upload a start frame, optionally provide an end frame for guided transitions, and describe the motion — the model generates smooth, natural video with optional audio synchronization and precise prompt control.

Why Choose This?
-
Image-grounded generation Start from a reference photo for precise visual control over subject appearance, environment, and composition.
-
Start and end frame guidance Provide both a starting image and an end frame to define exactly where the clip begins and finishes.
-
Audio input support Upload an audio track to guide the rhythm, mood, and pacing of the generated video.
-
Negative prompt support Specify what you don’t want in the video for more precise control over the output.
-
Prompt expansion Enable enable_prompt_expansion to let the model automatically enrich and optimize your prompt before generation.
-
Resolution options Generate at 720p or 1080p to match your delivery requirements.
-
Reproducible results Use the seed parameter to lock in a specific output for exact reproduction.

Pro Tips
- Use a high-quality, well-lit reference image with a clearly visible subject for the most natural animation.
- Providing a last_image significantly improves motion direction and narrative coherence.
- Use negative_prompt to avoid common artifacts like unwanted motion or blurry faces.
- Enable prompt expansion for shorter or less detailed prompts to get richer output automatically.
- Fix the seed once you find a result you like to iterate consistently across resolution and duration changes.
Notes
- Both image and prompt are required fields; all other parameters are optional.
