Pixverse Pixverse V6 Text To Video API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!PixVerse V6 generates high-quality videos from text prompts with flexible duration (1-15s), multiple resolutions up to 1080p, and optional audio generation. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no cold starts, affordable pricing.
Features
PixVerse V6 is PixVerse’s latest text-to-video model, delivering high-fidelity cinematic video from natural language prompts. With resolution options from 360p to 1080p, flexible aspect ratios, optional synchronized audio generation, and a thinking mode for complex scenes, it supports a wide range of creative and production workflows.
Why Choose This?
-
High-fidelity video generation Produces detailed, visually coherent video with accurate motion, lighting, and scene composition from text descriptions.
-
Four resolution tiers Generate from 360p up to 1080p — balance quality and cost based on your delivery needs.
-
Optional audio generation Enable generate_audio_switch to produce synchronized ambient sound and atmosphere alongside the video.
-
Thinking mode The thinking_type parameter lets the model apply extended reasoning for complex or nuanced scene descriptions.
-
Flexible aspect ratios Supports multiple orientations to fit social, cinematic, and broadcast formats.
-
Prompt Enhancer Built-in tool to automatically improve your scene descriptions for richer output.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the scene, motion, camera style, and atmosphere. |
| aspect_ratio | No | Output aspect ratio. Default: 16:9. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 360p, 540p, 720p (default), or 1080p. |
| duration | No | Clip length in seconds. Default: 5. |
| generate_audio_switch | No | Whether to generate synchronized audio for the video. Default: off. |
| thinking_type | No | Reasoning mode for scene generation. Default: auto. |
How to Use
- Write your prompt — describe the scene, characters, camera movement, lighting, and atmosphere. Use the Prompt Enhancer for better results.
- Select aspect ratio — choose the format that fits your target platform.
- Select resolution — 360p for drafts, 720p for standard output, 1080p for final production.
- Set duration — choose your desired clip length in seconds.
- Enable audio (optional) — check generate_audio_switch to generate synchronized sound alongside the video.
- Set thinking_type (optional) — use auto or adjust for complex scene descriptions.
- Submit — generate, preview, and download your video.
Pricing
| Resolution | Without Audio | With Audio |
|---|---|---|
| 360p | $0.025/s | $0.035/s |
| 540p | $0.035/s | $0.045/s |
| 720p | $0.045/s | $0.060/s |
| 1080p | $0.090/s | $0.115/s |
Billing Rules
- Billing is calculated per second of video generated
- For 360p: $0.025/s without audio, $0.035/s with audio
- For 540p: $0.035/s without audio, $0.045/s with audio
- For 720p: $0.045/s without audio, $0.060/s with audio
- For 1080p: $0.090/s without audio, $0.115/s with audio
- For $1 you can run this model for approximately 40 seconds at 360p (no audio) or about 11 seconds at 1080p (no audio)
Best Use Cases
- Cinematic Storytelling — Render rich, narrative-driven scenes from detailed text descriptions.
- Social Media Content — Generate short-form video clips at the right resolution and aspect ratio for any platform.
- Marketing & Advertising — Produce promotional video content quickly without a film crew.
- Concept Visualization — Bring creative directions and moods to life for pitching and storyboarding.
- Audio-Visual Content — Use audio generation for fully immersive ambient scenes.
Pro Tips
- Be specific in your prompt — include camera angle, lighting quality, motion style, and subject behavior.
- Use 360p or 540p to rapidly test and iterate on prompts before committing to a 1080p final render.
- Enable audio for scenes with strong environmental elements like crowds, nature, or music performances.
- Use the Prompt Enhancer to expand a simple concept into a richly detailed generation prompt.
Notes
- Only prompt is required; all other parameters are optional.
- Please follow PixVerse’s content usage policies when crafting prompts.
