Frequently Asked Questions
Wan Animate is an AI video generator focused on character animation and replacement-style clips. Upload a reference image, describe motion, and download an MP4—or start from a text prompt in the AI Video Generator.
Animate emphasizes motion from a still reference—ideal for animate image to video and social clips. Replace uses the same engine with copy and prompts tuned for identity-forward, face-swap-style scenarios. Both use the same secure generation API.
You upload a JPG, PNG, or WEBP reference, set aspect ratio and optional frame settings, and submit a motion prompt. The service returns a task you can poll until the MP4 is ready—see Animate for the image-to-video workflow.
Generated assets are standard MP4 videos suitable for web, social, and editing pipelines.
Time varies with queue and length. The dashboard shows live status while your task is processing.
Pricing and credits are listed on our Pricing page. New users typically start with a small credit pack.
Yes—see the API overview for how authenticated clients call the same endpoints as the web app.
Text to video creates a clip from a written description. Image to video locks identity to a reference still and animates from your prompt. Pick text for new scenes; pick image when the subject must stay consistent.
