Key features

WAN 2.6 turns a written prompt and a still image you upload into video inside Enhance AI. It produces clips from 5 to 15 seconds at 1080p. WAN 2.6 is built by Alibaba. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as every other model, with no separate subscription.

Clip length

WAN 2.6 renders clips from 5 to 15 seconds, and you pick the length before you render. Longer clips cost more because video is billed by length, so rough out an idea short and only render the full length once the shot works.

Resolution

WAN 2.6 renders at 1080p. There is no resolution picker for this model, so the price depends on clip length alone and every render comes back at the same size. For a bigger frame, run the finished clip through a video upscaler on the same account.

Input modes

Start from a written prompt or from a still image. Text to video gives WAN 2.6 the most freedom; image to video locks the first frame, so a product, a face or a location stays as you shot it while the motion is generated around it.

What people make with WAN 2.6

Backgrounds and loops

Atmospheric loops for a website header, a stage screen or a stream overlay suit WAN 2.6 well: slow drifting clouds, rain on glass, light moving across a wall. Keep the camera still and the motion gentle so the loop point hides, and render at the ratio the screen needs.

Short social clips

Vertical clips for Reels, TikTok and Shorts are the most common job for WAN 2.6. Write one clear scene per clip, keep the action simple so the motion reads on a phone, and render a few variations before you post. A short clip that lands is worth more than a long one that wanders.

Product shots

Give WAN 2.6 a product, the surface it sits on and one camera move, and it returns a short hero shot for a store page or an ad. Keep the prompt to what the camera sees. Start from a product photo so the packaging stays exact.
