Wan 2.2

What is Wan 2.2?#

Wan 2.2 is an earlier-generation Wan video model from Alibaba. Two modes are exposed on Unifically: text-to-video from a prompt, and image-to-video that takes a start_image_url for the first frame. Output is silent and each clip is a fixed 5 seconds. Resolution is 480p or 1080p. Controls include a negative prompt, a watermark toggle, optional intelligent prompt rewriting, and a seed for reproducibility. It is the right choice when your pipeline is already wired up to the Wan 2.2 parameter shape and you do not need audio, multi-shot, or reference-to-video.

Key features of Wan 2.2#

Four features cover what the model actually exposes day to day.

Text-to-video and image-to-video

Run text-only or hand in a start frame to drive image-to-video. Same model ID, same parameter shape, switch with the `mode` field.

Fixed 5-second clips at 480p or 1080p

No duration slider. Predictable cost per clip and predictable wall-clock per render. Pick 480p for drafts and 1080p for delivery.

Negative prompts for brand-safe output

Suppress unwanted content with `negative_prompt`. Useful for guarding against logos, faces, and other content categories that have to stay out.

Seed control for reproducibility

Pass an integer seed and the same prompt and input image returns the same clip. Useful for A/B variants and regression tests in CI/CD pipelines.

Limitations#

No audio. No multi-shot. No reference-to-video. Duration is fixed at 5 seconds. Resolution is 480p or 1080p only (Wan 2.2 Fast adds 720p in image-to-video). If you need any of those, jump to Wan 2.5 (audio, 5 or 10 seconds), Wan 2.6 (multi-shot, reference-to-video, up to 15 seconds), or Wan 2.7 (last-frame, video continuation, lip-sync).
