Premium 1080p video generation with audio sync
Wan 2.6 delivers premium 1080p video quality with synchronized audio. Perfect for professional productions requiring high-quality output.
Alibaba's Premium AI Video Model with Multi-Shot Storytelling
Released in December 2025, Wan 2.6 is Alibaba's most advanced video generation model. It extends video duration to 15 seconds (vs 10s in Wan 2.5), introduces intelligent multi-shot scene transitions, and delivers enhanced audio-visual synchronization with better lip-sync quality.
First time using Wan AI? Wan 2.5 offers 480p at 50% lower cost – perfect for testing prompts before upgrading to Wan 2.6's premium output.
Wan 2.6 is not a minor update – it's a capability jump. Here's what matters for your projects.
Wan 2.5 caps at 10 seconds. That extra 5 seconds in Wan 2.6 is the difference between a product reveal and a product reveal with context: establishing shot → action → result.
Wan 2.6 intelligently splits prompts into multiple camera angles with consistent characters. Example: "A character walks into a cafe, orders coffee" becomes wide shot → close-up → medium shot. Wan 2.5 gives you one static shot.
Wan 2.6 delivers significantly better audio-visual synchronization. Characters' lip movements match speech naturally – critical for dialogue-heavy content, explainers, and talking-head videos.
Two modes, same premium quality. Choose based on whether you have a reference image.
Animate your images with precise motion control
Best for: Product showcases, portrait animation, consistent character motion from existing images.
Generate videos purely from text prompts
Best for: Concept videos, ads, social media content, cinematic narratives without reference images.
Realistic physics and fluid character movement
Same character across multi-shot scenes
Complex creative descriptions, accurately rendered
No content restrictions for creative freedom
Credits scale linearly with duration. 720p is 25% cheaper than 1080p at each duration.
Good for social media and drafts
Best for professional output
Pro tip: Test your prompts with Wan 2.5 480p (30 credits for 5s) before generating final output with Wan 2.6.
Wan 2.6 is premium-priced for a reason. Here's where it shines over Wan 2.5.
15-second format fits Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Multi-shot scenes create professional ad pacing.
Enhanced lip-sync makes Wan 2.6 ideal for talking-head videos, character dialogues, and explainer content with voiceover.
Multi-shot storytelling creates film-like sequences. Character walks in → close-up → reaction shot – all generated from one prompt.
1080p output quality matches professional product photography. Animate product images with smooth, controlled motion.
Maintain character consistency across scenes. Perfect for animated series, mascot content, and branded characters.
When the prompt is finalized and you need maximum quality. Draft with Wan 2.5, produce with Wan 2.6.
Use Wan 2.5 for: testing prompts, quick iterations, videos under 10 seconds, budget-conscious production. Use Wan 2.6 for: final production, 11-15 second videos, dialogue/lip-sync content, multi-shot narratives, maximum quality output.
Multi-shot mode automatically segments your prompt into multiple camera angles while maintaining character consistency. A prompt like "woman enters cafe, orders coffee, sits down" generates three distinct shots instead of one static view. Note: Multi-shot has content moderation enabled.
Upload a WAV or MP3 file (3-30 seconds, up to 15MB) and Wan 2.6 synchronizes the video to match. This includes lip-sync for speech, motion timing for music, and sound effect alignment. If audio is longer than video duration, only the first segment is used.
Yes, Wan 2.6 single-shot mode has no content restrictions. Multi-shot mode has moderation enabled. For unrestricted multi-scene content, generate individual shots separately.
Typically 2-7 minutes depending on duration and resolution. 1080p 15s takes longer than 720p 5s. You can navigate away – results are saved to your creation history.
Generate cinematic AI videos with up to 15 seconds, multi-shot scenes, and enhanced lip-sync.
