Wan 3.0 AI Video Generator
Alibaba's Flagship Video Model — Native 1080p, Smart Duration, Three Creation Modes
Wan 3.0 (Wan 3.0 Prime) is Alibaba's flagship video generation model. Turn a text prompt, a single image, or a set of reference images, video clips, and audio into a polished video with native synchronized sound—including effects, ambience, and speech—at no extra cost. Choose 480p for speed, 720p for balance, or full HD 1080p for maximum quality. Set any duration from 2 to 30 seconds, or select Auto and let the model choose the right length for your prompt.
Smart duration sets Wan 3.0 apart: leave the duration on Auto and the model uses your prompt and reference media to choose a length between 2 and 30 seconds. Image-to-video animates a first frame and can transition to an optional last frame, while preserving the source image's aspect ratio. Reference-to-video accepts up to 10 images, 5 videos, and 5 audio tracks. Refer to each file by its numbered label—for example, 'the subject in Image 1 walks past Video 1'—to carry characters, styles, motion, and sound across generations. There's no subscription; you pay only for what you generate.

Wan 3.0 FAQ
What is Wan 3.0?
Wan 3.0 (Wan 3.0 Prime) is Alibaba's flagship AI video model. It generates videos from text, a single image, or reference media at 480p, 720p, or full HD 1080p, with native synchronized audio and durations from 2 to 30 seconds — or an Auto mode that picks the length for you.
Which input modes does it support?
Three: text-to-video (generate from a prompt), image-to-video (animate a first frame and optionally transition to a last frame), and reference-to-video (guide the result with up to 10 images, 5 videos, and 5 audio tracks).
What is smart duration?
Set the duration to Auto and Wan 3.0 decides how long the video should be — anywhere from 2 to 30 seconds — based on your prompt and reference media. You can always pin an exact length instead.
Does it generate audio?
Yes. Native synchronized audio — sound effects, ambience, and speech — is generated by default at no extra cost. You can turn it off if you only need video.
What resolutions, durations, and aspect ratios are available?
Resolutions are 480p (fastest), 720p, and 1080p full HD. Durations run from 2 to 30 seconds, or Auto. In text and reference modes, aspect ratios include 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, and Adaptive; in image mode the video follows your image's aspect ratio.
How does pricing work?
There's no subscription — you pay per generation with credits. Cost scales with resolution and duration, so shorter 480p clips cost less than longer 1080p videos.
