Wan2.6 Flash
Fast distilled image-to-video generation model
Wan2.6 Flash is a distilled, low-latency variant of the Wan2.6 multimodal video model designed for rapid image to video generation with fluid motion, visual stability, and optional synchronized audio. It produces HD clips from detailed static images while preserving subject structure and motion realism, making it suitable for preview workflows and high-throughput creative pipelines.

Overview
Wan2.6 Flash is a fast, distilled variant of the Wan2.6 multimodal video model designed for rapid image-to-video and reference-to-video generation. It turns detailed static images into short HD clips with fluid motion and strong visual stability. You can also include synchronized audio when needed.
The unified workflow supports both image-to-video and reference-to-video through one endpoint. When you supply reference images or videos, the model shifts into guided generation automatically. Wan2.6 Flash works well for preview passes, rapid iteration, and high-throughput creative pipelines where speed matters.
How it Works
Wan2.6 Flash combines prompt understanding with visual conditioning and motion modelling to animate still or reference inputs into cohesive video sequences.
Prompt Interpretation
The model reads your positive prompt to understand subject behaviour, scene context, and motion direction. You can include a negative prompt to steer the output away from unwanted elements.
Image-to-Video Generation
When you provide a first frame image, the model treats it as the visual anchor. It keeps composition and subject structure consistent while introducing natural motion and camera dynamics.
Reference-to-Video Generation
If you upload reference images or a short reference video, Wan2.6 Flash uses them to guide structure, appearance, or motion style. This helps when you need tighter visual consistency.
Video & Audio Generation
The model generates a temporally stable frame sequence and outputs an MP4 clip. If audio is enabled or provided, the video can include synchronized sound.
Key Features
-
Image-to-Video and Reference-to-Video One endpoint supports both workflows. Adding references activates guided generation automatically.
-
Low-Latency Performance Built for fast turnaround and rapid iteration.
-
Stable Visual Structure Preserves subject identity and composition across frames.
-
HD Output Options Supports 720p and 1080p clip generation.
-
Optional Audio Support Generate synchronized audio or include custom WAV or MP3 input.
-
Prompt Control Supports detailed positive prompts and optional negative prompts.

Tips for Better Results
- Describe how the subject moves and how the camera behaves.
- Keep prompts focused if you want stronger stability.
- Use references when visual consistency is important.
- Start with shorter clips to refine motion before extending duration.
Notes & Limitations
- Designed for short-form clip generation.
- Reference workflows require supported output dimensions.
- Output quality depends on prompt clarity and input complexity.
