What is Wan 2.6 image?
Wan 2.6 image is Alibaba's Wan image model, announced on 16 December 2025 alongside Wan 2.6 video. It added style control and more realistic portraits over Wan 2.5, which launched commercially on 11 November 2025. On Kenerate, Wan 2.6 renders up to 1440 px and edits with up to 3 reference images, and its stills work as first frames for Wan video.
Link to this answerHow much does Wan cost on Kenerate?
It is credit-based, and the cost of each image is shown before you generate; edits use a little more than plain generations. Credits come in one-time packs that never expire, with no subscription required, and current packs are on /pricing. Wan is not on the free plan, but any credit pack unlocks every Wan version, from 2.5 to 2.7 Pro.
Link to this answerCan Wan edit images?
Yes. Wan 2.7 and 2.7 Pro take up to 9 reference images, Wan 2.6 up to 3 and Wan 2.5 up to 2, so you can combine several images in one edit. Upload the images and describe the change in plain words, including what should stay the same. Wan 2.5 also accepts negative prompts when you want to rule something out. Edits use slightly more credits than plain generations.
Link to this answerWhat size does Wan output?
It depends on the version. On Kenerate, Wan 2.6 and Wan 2.5 render up to 1440 px, Wan 2.7 up to 2048 px and Wan 2.7 Pro up to 4K, with edits up to 2K. 1440 px is enough for most screen use and for first frames you animate with a Wan video model. For wallpapers and prints, pick Wan 2.7 Pro or Seedream 5.0 Lite; for text-heavy images, Qwen Image 3.0.
Link to this answerIs Wan AI free?
Not on Kenerate's free plan. Any one-time credit pack unlocks Wan 2.7 Pro, 2.7, 2.6 and 2.5, paid per image with no subscription required, and credits never expire; edits use slightly more than plain generations. New accounts get starter credits to try the free-plan models, such as Qwen Image 3.0, before buying a pack.
Link to this answerIs Wan AI safe to use?
On Kenerate, Wan runs through its provider with the provider's own content rules, and Kenerate's filter blocks any prompt involving minors on every model. Sexual images of real people aren't allowed. Your images stay for 7 days unless you save them, the Private switch keeps them out of the public feed, and downloads carry no watermark.
Link to this answerDoes Wan AI have restrictions?
Yes. The Wan image models keep their provider's content rules, so some prompts can be refused, and Kenerate also blocks anything involving minors and images of real people without their consent. Sizes and references differ by version: Wan 2.6 and 2.5 stop at 1440 px, while 2.7 Pro reaches 4K.
