Wan 2.2 AI Video Generator
Wan 2.2 is the low-cost starting point in this site's Wan workflow. The hosted 5B distilled text-to-video model produces up to five seconds at 720p and 24 FPS; the image-to-video model animates a public image URL at the same output tier. WanVideoFree is an independent tool, not the official Wan website.

The direct answer
What is Wan 2.2 best for? Use Wan 2.2 when you need an inexpensive five-second draft, want to test motion or composition before paying for a newer model, or want an official open-weight Wan release that can also be run outside this site.

The server locks the charged tier. Browser-supplied requests cannot silently increase resolution or provider cost.
A low-cost first-take workflow
- Describe one subject, one action, and one camera move.
- Generate the first draft with Wan 2.2.
- Check composition and motion before judging texture detail.
- Revise the prompt once; keep the structure and change only the failed instruction.
- Move to Wan 2.5 or 2.7 only when the draft proves the shot.
This sequence avoids spending a premium render on a prompt whose movement was never tested.
Prompt recipe
Use: subject + observable action + camera move + environment + light + exclusions.
A ceramic robot folds one blue sheet of paper into a crane, slow clockwise camera orbit, clean wooden desk, warm morning window light, physically plausible motion, no captions, no logo.
Do not spend most of the prompt redescribing a reference image. For image-to-video, explain what changes: posture, object motion, camera movement, light, and the desired ending.
Open-weight source and hosted access are different
Wan2.2 has an official repository and published model weights from the Wan-Video organization. That makes local deployment possible for people with the hardware and technical setup. Hosted generation still consumes GPU resources, so this site's online service uses credits. The open status of 2.2 should not be treated as proof that every later Wan version is open source.
Official sources:
- Wan2.2 official GitHub repository
- Wan 2.2 5B text-to-video API schema

Frequently asked questions
Is Wan 2.2 free?
The official model weights can be downloaded and run on your own compatible hardware. Hosted inference is not costless. On WanVideoFree, new-account starter credits can cover the 8-credit text-to-video draft when the model is available.
Does Wan 2.2 generate audio?
The specific low-cost 5B distilled endpoints offered here are positioned as visual draft models. Choose Wan 2.5 or 2.7 when native generated audio is part of the required result.
Why is the output limited to five seconds?
The selected hosted 5B endpoint is designed for short drafts up to five seconds. Keeping the contract fixed makes the displayed credits and provider spend agree.
Are failed generations refunded?
Eligible credits are returned once when submission fails, the provider reports failure, or the server settles a task as timed out. A completed but creatively disappointing result is not automatically a failed task.
