Can Wan 2.5 turn both text and images into video?

Yes. Use Text to Video to build a scene from a written prompt, or Image to Video to animate a first-frame image while keeping its composition and visual identity as the starting point.

Wan 2.5 supports clips up to 10 seconds. The duration options currently available for your selected mode are shown directly in the generator.

Which resolutions and aspect ratios are available?

Wan 2.5 supports output up to 1080p. The provider workflow exposes settings by mode, including landscape, portrait, and square formats for text-to-video.

Does Wan 2.5 generate audio?

Yes. Alibaba describes Wan 2.5 as supporting native audio-visual synchronization, so motion and sound can be generated as an aligned short clip. Availability can depend on the selected provider route.

How many credits does Wan 2.5 use?

Credit use depends on mode, resolution, duration, and your plan. The generator calculates and displays the current credit requirement before you create.

November 2025 release context

Three Upgrades That Defined Wan 2.5

Wan 2.5 was more than a routine quality refresh. Compared with the earlier Wan 2.2 video line, its launch connected sound to the generated scene, doubled the available shot length, and pushed control toward commercial production needs.

Read the Alibaba Cloud launch overview

01Sound becomes part of the scene

From Silent Output to Synchronized Audio-Visual Generation

Wan 2.2's standard text-to-video and image-to-video models produced silent clips. Wan 2.5 introduced synchronized audio generation, allowing motion and sound to be conceived as one result instead of two disconnected production passes.

Wan 2.5 launch: Picture and matching audio generated as an aligned clip

02A longer creative beat

Ten Seconds Gave Motion and Story More Room

Earlier Wan 2.2 general video routes were fixed at five seconds. Wan 2.5 added a ten-second option, making it easier to stage a complete camera move, product reveal, or short narrative action without immediately stitching clips together.

03Commercial-grade direction

Better Adherence, Motion, and Image Quality in the Same Upgrade

Alibaba's launch materials grouped stronger instruction adherence, improved motion, superior image quality, and more controllable multimodal input as one production-focused step forward—aimed at film, advertising, and repeatable commercial workflows.

Earlier workflow: More iteration to hold action, framing, and finish together
Wan 2.5 launch: Stronger direction following with more polished motion and visuals

These comparisons describe the model capabilities announced at launch. Controls exposed in this generator can vary with the connected provider route.

Where Wan 2.5 Fits Best

Use it when a still concept needs convincing motion, clear direction, and a complete audio-visual beat.

Product and Campaign Shots

Prototype launch films, pack shots, fashion moments, and branded social assets without a full production setup.

Short-Form Storytelling

Create vertical, square, or landscape story beats for social campaigns, teasers, and narrative sequences.

Image-to-Video Animation

Start with your approved keyframe, then add controlled subject motion, camera movement, and atmosphere.

A Clear Wan 2.5 Workflow

Give the model one readable scene, choose the delivery format, then refine the motion instead of rewriting everything.

Step 1

Start from Text or an Image

Write a complete scene prompt, or upload a strong first frame that establishes subject, composition, and visual style.

Step 2

Set Format and Timing

Choose the aspect ratio, resolution, and clip duration that match the destination and the amount of action.

Step 3

Generate and Refine

Review camera motion, subject consistency, and audio alignment. Tighten one instruction at a time for the next version.
