A joyful family of four playing on a sunny sandy beach. The mother, wearing a white tank top, denim shorts and sunglasses, smiles warmly while looking down at her children. The father in a white t-shirt and mint green shorts leans forward, playfully reaching out to the toddler. The older boy in a white tee and blue shorts steps closer to his mother curiously. The younger toddler in a white tee and mint shorts bounces excitedly toward his father with outstretched arms. A gentle sea breeze softly blows the mother's hair. Children laugh and move playfully, sand lightly scattering under their bare feet. Waves roll in slowly on the turquoise shoreline in the background. Warm golden sunlight, clear blue sky. Camera slowly dolly-in, cinematic and warm, shallow depth of field, family lifestyle photography style.

- Audio-Visual Content — Use audio generation for fully immersive animated scenes.
Pro Tips
- Use a high-quality, well-lit reference image with a clearly visible subject for the most natural animation.
- Include specific camera style references in your prompt (dolly-in, handheld, shallow depth of field) for more expressive results.
- Use 360p or 540p to rapidly test prompts before committing to a 1080p final render.
- Enable audio for scenes with strong environmental elements like ocean waves, crowds, or wind.
Notes
- Both image and prompt are required fields; all other parameters are optional.
- Please follow PixVerse's content usage policies when crafting prompts.

What is the Pixverse v6 Image To Video API?
Pixverse v6 Image To Video is a Pixverse model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. PixVerse V6 generates high-quality videos from images 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. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the Pixverse v6 Image To Video API?
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pixverse/pixverse-pixverse-v6-image-to-video.
How much does Pixverse v6 Image To Video cost per run?
Pixverse v6 Image To Video starts at $0.10 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
What inputs does Pixverse v6 Image To Video accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `resolution`, `duration`, `generate_audio_switch`, `thinking_type`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/pixverse/pixverse-pixverse-v6-image-to-video.
How do I get started with the Pixverse v6 Image To Video API?
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Can I use Pixverse v6 Image To Video outputs commercially?
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Pixverse). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
