Wan 2.7 I2V · 5 seconds at 720p. Two uploaded frames guide the change from dark windows to a warmly lit paper town. Silent clip.
Wan 2.7 I2V with start and end frames
See how two uploaded images guide the result: a paper street lights up, and a watercolor tulip blooms. Both examples include the actual start and end frames.
From tulip bud to bloom
The five-second Wan 2.7 I2V clip connects the two uploaded frames with a gradual bloom.
Show the prompt (Wan 2.7 I2V)
A locked-off watercolor time-lapse. The closed pink tulip slowly opens into the supplied final frame and one drop of dew slides down a petal. Keep the blue pot, stem, window and camera completely still. Dawn light brightens gently, no new objects.
A paper town lights up
Wan 2.7 I2V · 5 seconds at 720p. Two uploaded frames guide the change from dark windows to a warmly lit paper town. Silent clip.
Show the prompt (Wan 2.7 I2V)
A locked-off handcrafted paper animation. Starting from the supplied dark street, the windows and street lamps gradually switch on from the near houses to the far houses until the supplied warmly lit final frame is reached. Soft amber light spills onto the paper pavement. Preserve every building, roof, paper fold, tree and star exactly; nothing moves except the illumination. No camera motion, no new objects, no text, no cuts.

Wan AI Video Generator Use Cases & Examples
Anime & VTuber Animation
Wan handles anime characters, manga panels and VTuber models well, and it tends to keep a 2D style intact while adding motion. Try it alongside Kling on the same image to compare.
Cheap Drafts Before the Final Cut
Wan 2.7 I2V and Wan 2.7 Reference are the lowest-cost Wan versions here. Test the motion at 720P with a short clip, then render the final take at 1080P.
Creative & Experimental Videos
Try unusual prompts and stylized images. Short 720P clips keep the cost of each experiment low.
Social Media Content
Make short clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Pick 9:16 in Wan 2.7 Reference, or start from a vertical photo with the other versions.
Game Character Animation
Bring game characters, RPG avatars and fantasy illustrations to life for trailers and devlogs. Stylized 2D and 3D art both work.
Manga & Comic Panel Animation
Animate manga panels and comic artwork into short moving scenes. Crop to a single panel first so the model knows what to animate.

Open-Weight Roots
Earlier Wan releases (2.1 and 2.2) are open weights you can run on your own GPU. The newer versions here run hosted, so you get them in the browser with no setup.
First and Last Frame Control
Wan 2.7 I2V accepts an optional end image, so you can decide where the shot finishes — useful for transitions, before/after reveals and loops.
Good with Anime and Stylized Art
Wan is a strong pick for anime, manga and illustrations. If your content involves anime characters or VTuber models, it is worth trying first.
Four Versions for Different Jobs
Wan 2.7 I2V when the ending frame matters, 2.7 Reference for a consistent subject, 2.6 for 15-second HD clips from one photo, and 2.5 if you want the older model.
Up to 15 Seconds in 1080P
Wan 2.6 and Wan 2.7 I2V render 5, 10 or 15 second clips at 720P or 1080P. Download as MP4 for TikTok, YouTube or client work.
Image to Video Animation
Portraits, landscapes, products and anime all work. A sharp image with one clear subject gives the most reliable motion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Wan AI video generator?
Wan is the video model family from Alibaba's Tongyi Lab. This Wan AI video generator turns a still image into a video clip: you upload a photo, describe the motion, and pick a version. Wan 2.7 I2V, Wan 2.7 Reference, Wan 2.6 and Wan 2.5 are available here.
Is Wan AI open source?
Earlier releases such as Wan 2.1 and Wan 2.2 were published as open weights that you can run on your own GPU. The newer versions offered here (2.5, 2.6 and 2.7) run through hosted endpoints, so you can use them in the browser without installing anything.
Is Wan AI video generator free?
To generate videos, choose a subscription or one-time credit pack and review the cost for the selected Wan model, duration, and resolution before generating.
How does Wan AI image to video work?
Upload any image — a portrait, anime character, landscape, or product shot — and describe the motion in a prompt. The model uses your image as the first frame and generates the movement from there. With Wan 2.7 I2V you can also upload an end image to control the final frame. Everything runs in your browser.
What styles does Wan AI support?
Wan handles cinematic motion, realistic animation, anime-style movement and creative transitions. Use short 720P clips for quick drafts, Wan 2.6 for 15-second HD clips, Wan 2.7 Reference to keep a character consistent, and Wan 2.7 I2V when the ending frame matters.
Can I use Wan 2.1 or Wan 2.2 here?
Not directly. Wan 2.1 and 2.2 are open-weight releases mostly run locally (for example in ComfyUI). This site offers the newer hosted versions — Wan 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 — which need no GPU or setup. If you came looking for Wan 2.2 image to video, Wan 2.6 is the closest drop-in choice here.
What is the difference between Wan AI and Kling AI?
Kling, from Kuaishou, is strongest at realistic people and camera movement, and its newer versions add sound and clips up to 30 seconds. Wan, from Alibaba, is silent here but good with anime and stylized art, and short 720P Wan 2.7 clips are a cheap way to draft. Many creators draft with Wan and render people-focused shots with Kling. Both are in the same generator, so you can compare them on one photo.
