Examples

Preserve the snow leopard, its exact fur pattern, body proportions and rocky mountain setting from the first frame. The leopard slowly turns only its head toward the camera and holds a calm attentive gaze. A light mountain breeze gently moves its dense fur while a few fine snow particles drift sideways. Its body and all four paws stay planted firmly on the ledge; its long tail rests behind it. Very slow subtle camera push-in, natural wildlife documentary motion, consistent anatomy and lighting, no cuts, no extra animals or objects.

Keep the woman's face, short curly hair, mustard sweater and tram interior exactly consistent with the input image. She gently brings her gaze from the rain-streaked window toward the camera, blinks naturally once, and forms a small relaxed closed-mouth smile. A few raindrops slide slowly down the window while the street beyond stays softly blurred. Her body stays seated and relaxed. Locked portrait camera, understated natural acting and soft overcast light, one uninterrupted shot, no new people, no dramatic head motion or cuts.

Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video

Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video is a high-performance image-to-video generation model developed by Alibaba Tongyi Lab. Built for rapid content generation, character animation, and visual storytelling workflows, it transforms one or two reference images into dynamic video clips guided by natural language prompts. The model supports both single-image initiation (first frame) and dual-frame keyframe transition control (first and last frames) across 480p and 720p resolution tiers, automatically matching the source image's native aspect ratio with cost-effective pricing starting at 6 credits ($0.030) per generation.

Why choose this model

  • High-Efficiency MoE ArchitecturePowered by a 27B Mixture-of-Experts engine that activates 14B parameters per step, delivering fast turnaround times while faithfully sustaining source image realism.

  • Dual-Frame Transition ControlSupports passing an optional ending frame alongside the required starting frame to choreograph seamless, cinematic transitions with zero additional credit cost.

  • Native Aspect Ratio InheritanceAutomatically inherits the exact dimensions and aspect ratio of your uploaded image without requiring manual ratio configuration or stretching distortion.

  • Dual 480p and 720p Resolution TiersChoose 480p (default) for budget-friendly rapid animation tests or 720p for crisp, high-definition final media production.

  • Predictable Low-Cost PricingStraightforward per-generation billing at 6 credits ($0.030) for 480p and 12 credits ($0.060) for 720p, with automatic refunds if a task encounters system errors.

  2. Optionally Add Last FrameInclude a second image URL to define the target ending frame, enabling controlled keyframe interpolation and smooth visual transformation.

  3. Compose Motion Guidance PromptWrite a descriptive prompt up to 800 characters explaining the subject's actions, expressions, and camera trajectories.

  4. Choose Resolution TierSelect 480p (6 credits) for fast preliminary previews or 720p (12 credits) for crisp, publication-ready resolution.

  5. Submit Task and Download VideoSend your generation request, monitor progress using task_id polling or webhooks, and fetch your finished MP4 video asset.

Best Use Cases

  • Portrait & Character AnimationBreathe natural life into character portraits, digital avatars, and historical figures with subtle facial micro-expressions and eye contact.

  • E-Commerce Product Motion TeasersConvert static studio product photographs into engaging dynamic video ads with rotating views, lighting shifts, and sleek camera movements.

  • Dual-Frame Storyboard TransitionsConnect opening and closing scene illustrations using first-and-last frame interpolation to preview complex narrative film transitions.

  • Landscape & Digital Art EnhancementAdd natural physical movements like flowing water, drifting clouds, fluttering foliage, and dynamic lighting sweeps to scenic photography.

Pro Tips

  • Use Clear High-Resolution Source Images:Input images with sharp focus, clean lighting, and well-defined subjects produce significantly cleaner motion and fewer visual artifacts.
  • Align Motion Directions with Image Context:Ensure your text prompt guides actions that logically flow from the input picture's original pose, perspective, and physical environment.
  • Keep Visual Consistency Across Dual Frames:When utilizing both first and last frames, keep character features, clothing, and primary background elements harmonized for seamless interpolation.
  • Test Camera Moves at 480p First:Validate whether your camera pans and zooms produce the desired perspective shifts at 480p (6 credits) before rendering the final clip at 720p.
  • Anchor Repeatable Iterations with Seed:Lock the integer seed parameter when tweaking prompt adjectives to isolate and evaluate specific motion changes.

Notes

  • Public HTTP/HTTPS Image URL Requirement:Images passed in image_urls must be publicly accessible HTTP or HTTPS direct links containing valid hostnames without authorization tokens in the path.
  • Automatic Aspect Ratio Determination:The output video inherits the native dimensions and ratio of the primary input image; the endpoint does not accept an aspect_ratio parameter.
  • Dual Frame Array Limit & Zero Surcharge:image_urls accepts at most 2 images (first frame and optional last frame). Specifying a last frame does not increase credit cost.
  • Prompt Character Limit & Automatic Refund:Prompts are constrained to 800 Unicode characters. If an unexpected server failure occurs during processing, deducted credits are automatically refunded.

Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video API frequently asked questions

What is the Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video API?

Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video is an Alibaba model for image-to-video generation. It animates static reference images into fluid, lifelike video clips across 480p and 720p resolutions with fast turnaround and flexible single-image or dual-frame transition control. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

What image inputs are required for Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video?

The image_urls array requires at least one publicly accessible HTTP or HTTPS direct image URL as the starting frame. You can also provide an optional second image URL to act as the ending keyframe. Direct upload is supported in the playground, which automatically converts files into public links.

How does the optional last frame work in Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video?

Supplying a second URL in the image_urls array sets the last frame of the video, enabling the model to interpolate motion smoothly from the first frame to the final frame. Adding this optional last frame does not incur any additional credit fee.

What output resolutions are available in Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video?

Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video supports 480p (default) and 720p. The 480p setting is optimized for rapid turnaround and cost-effective testing, while 720p provides crisper fine details and texture clarity for production use.

How is the video aspect ratio determined in Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video?

The output video automatically adopts the native aspect ratio and frame dimensions of your primary input image. The API does not accept an explicit aspect_ratio parameter, preserving your source composition without unintended cropping or stretching.

What is the prompt limit and role in Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video?

The prompt parameter is required and accepts up to 800 Unicode characters after whitespace trimming. It directs the motion trajectory, subject actions, emotional expressions, and camera angles that govern how the static frame comes alive.

How much does Wan 2.2 Fast Image to Video cost?

Pricing is charged per completed generation: 480p costs 6 credits ($0.030) and 720p costs 12 credits ($0.060), regardless of whether you include an optional last frame. Deducted credits are automatically refunded if a task terminates with a failed status.

How do you retrieve the generated video via API?

Submit a request to POST /api/generate/submit and read the returned task_id. While the status is not_started or running, poll GET /api/generate/status/{task_id}; stop at finished or failed. On success, read the video URLs from data.files[].file_url. On failure, read data.error_message.
