Key Features of the Wan 2.6 I2V API

What the dedicated wan2.6-i2v image-to-video model accepts and returns

Image to Video from One First Frame

Send exactly one image as a public URL or Base64 data URI: JPEG, PNG without transparency, BMP or WEBP, 240 to 8000 pixels per side and up to 10 MB.

Prompt-Guided Motion

The prompt is optional. Describe the subject, action, camera and style to steer how the image moves.

5, 10 or 15 Second Clips

Choose 5, 10 or 15 seconds; 5 is the default. Price follows the requested length.

720p and 1080p, Ratio from Your Image

1080p is the default and 720p costs less per second. The aspect ratio follows the input image.

Multi-Shot Narration

Set shot_type to multi, with prompt rewriting on, for a video with several connected shots instead of one continuous take.

Custom Audio Track

Add a wav or mp3 of 3 to 30 seconds (up to 15 MB) with audio_url. Longer audio is trimmed to the video length.

Negative Prompts and Seeds

Exclude unwanted content with a negative prompt of up to 500 characters and reuse a seed for similar results.

A Dedicated Wan 2.6 Image-to-Video Model

wan2.6-i2v only does image to video. wan2.6 also covers text to video, and wan2.6-i2v-flash adds any length from 2 to 15 seconds and silent output.

What You Can Build with the Wan 2.6 I2V API

Workflows that start from a single image

Portraits That Come to Life

Animate a portrait or character illustration with natural expression and camera movement.

Product Photos in Motion

Wan 2.6 I2V API Example: Image to Video and Custom Audio

Call the Wan 2.6 I2V API on APIMart with one POST request. Generation is asynchronous: submit a task, then poll the task endpoint for the video URL.

1
Authenticate Wan 2.6 I2V requests
Save your APIMart key in the APIMART_API_KEY environment variable and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> on every request.
2
Submit a Wan 2.6 I2V task
POST /v1/videos/generations with model wan2.6-i2v, one image in image_urls, your prompt, duration and resolution. The task ID is in data[0].task_id.
3
Get the Wan 2.6 I2V video
Poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} until status is completed, then read the video URL from data.result.videos[0].url[0] and save the file to your own storage.
See the Wan 2.6 image-to-video API reference for every parameter, image requirement and response field.

Wan 2.6 I2V API FAQ

Answers about wan2.6-i2v inputs, audio, parameters and pricing

What is Wan 2.6 I2V (wan2.6-i2v)?

Wan 2.6 I2V is Alibaba's dedicated Wan 2.6 image-to-video model. It animates one first-frame image into a 5, 10 or 15 second video at 720p or 1080p. On APIMart its model ID is wan2.6-i2v.

How is Wan 2.6 I2V different from Wan 2.6?

wan2.6 is a general model that does text to video and image to video and offers effect templates. wan2.6-i2v is a separate image-to-video model with its own price. Both use 5, 10 or 15 second durations and 720p or 1080p.

Wan 2.6 I2V or Wan 2.6 I2V Flash: which should I use?

Wan 2.6 I2V Flash (wan2.6-i2v-flash) accepts any length from 2 to 15 seconds, can turn audio off for silent output and currently costs less per second. Use Wan 2.6 I2V when you want the dedicated wan2.6-i2v model at 5, 10 or 15 seconds.

What images can I use?

Exactly one image in image_urls, as a public URL or a Base64 data URI. Supported formats are JPEG, PNG without transparency, BMP and WEBP, 240 to 8000 pixels per side and up to 10 MB.

What durations and resolutions does Wan 2.6 I2V support?

duration is 5, 10 or 15 seconds (default 5). resolution is 720p or 1080p (default 1080p). There is no aspect ratio parameter; the output follows the input image.

Does Wan 2.6 I2V support audio?

wan2.6-i2v does not accept the audio on/off switch, so you cannot request a silent video with it. You can add your own wav or mp3 of 3 to 30 seconds with audio_url. For silent output, use Wan 2.6 I2V Flash with audio set to false.

Does Wan 2.6 I2V support multi-shot video?

Yes. Set shot_type to multi with prompt_extend on for several connected shots, or single (the default) for one continuous take. shot_type takes priority over what the prompt says.

What parameters does the Wan 2.6 I2V API support?

model (wan2.6-i2v) and image_urls are required. Optional fields: prompt, negative_prompt, resolution, duration, audio_url, prompt_extend (default true), shot_type, seed, watermark and nsfw_check.

How do I call the Wan 2.6 I2V API and get the video?

POST to /v1/videos/generations and read the task ID from data[0].task_id. Poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} every few seconds until status is completed, then read data.result.videos[0].url[0].

How much does the Wan 2.6 I2V API cost per second?

Wan 2.6 I2V is billed per second of video, and 1080p costs more per second than 720p. See the pricing table on this page; Gold members save 20%, and Platinum and Diamond members save up to 28%.

Is Wan 2.6 I2V free or open source?

No. APIMart has no free quota for Wan 2.6 I2V; you pay per second for each task. Alibaba offers Wan 2.6 as a hosted API and has not released its weights. Alibaba's open-weight Wan releases are the Wan 2.2 family and specialized models such as Wan-Dancer; Wan 2.5 and later general video models are API-only.

How do I get a Wan 2.6 I2V API key?

Sign up for APIMart, add balance and create a key on the API Keys page. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. The same key works for every Wan model and the rest of the APIMart catalog.
