Features
Wan 2.1 Image-to-Video 720p
Transform your static images into dynamic, cinematic videos with Wan 2.1 Image-to-Video 720p. This state-of-the-art model brings your photos to life with smooth motion, natural transitions, and high visual fidelity — all guided by simple text prompts.
Why It Stands Out
- Image-driven generation: Start from any image and animate it into a coherent video while preserving the original style and composition.
- Prompt-guided motion: Describe the action you want — camera movements, character expressions, environmental changes — and watch your vision unfold.
- Negative prompt support: Exclude unwanted elements or artifacts for cleaner, more controlled outputs.
- Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization helps you craft better descriptions for improved results.
- Flexible duration: Generate 5-second or 10-second clips depending on your needs.
- Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results or iterate on variations.

Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Source image (upload or public URL). |
| prompt | Yes | Text description of desired motion and style. |
| negative_prompt | No | Elements to avoid in the generated video. |
| size | No | Output resolution (default: 1280×720). |
| num_inference_steps | No | Quality/speed trade-off (default: 30). |
| duration | No | Video length in seconds: 5 or 10 (default: 5). |
| guidance_scale | No | Prompt adherence strength (default: 5). |
| flow_shift | No | Motion intensity control (default: 5). |
| seed | No | Set for reproducibility; -1 for random. |
How to Use
- Upload your source image — drag and drop, or paste a public URL.
- Write a prompt describing the motion, mood, and style you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
- Set parameters — adjust duration, guidance scale, and other settings as needed.
- Add a negative prompt (optional) to exclude unwanted elements.
- Click Run and wait for your video to generate.
- Preview and download the result.
Best Use Cases
- Social Media Content — Turn product photos or portraits into eye-catching video posts.
- Marketing & Advertising — Animate hero images for campaigns without expensive video shoots.
- Storytelling & Concept Art — Bring storyboards and illustrations to life for pitches and presentations.
- E-commerce — Create dynamic product showcases from static photography.
- Personal Projects — Animate family photos, travel shots, or creative artwork.
Pro Tips for Best Quality
- Use high-resolution, well-lit source images for optimal results.
- Be specific in your prompt — describe camera movement, subject actions, and atmospheric details.
- Start with lower inference steps (20–25) for quick previews, then increase for final renders.
- Use negative prompts to reduce artifacts like blur, distortion, or unwanted motion.
- Fix the seed when iterating to compare the effect of different parameters.
Notes
- Ensure uploaded images or URLs are publicly accessible.
- Processing time varies based on duration and current queue load.
- Please ensure your prompts comply with content guidelines.
