Wan 2.5 Preview Text to Image example
Example — generated from this input

A lone samurai standing on the edge of a cliff at twilight, overlooking a vast valley shrouded in mist. The sky burns with deep orange and purple hues from the setting sun, casting long, dramatic shadows. The samurai’s silhouette glows against the horizon, with their sword reflecting a glint of fading light. The overall style is hyper-realistic, cinematic, and moody, with dramatic contrast and atmospheric depth.

Pricing

Unit price $0.05 / image

Billed by the number of images actually generated.

~20 images per $1

Each request temporarily reserves $0.05; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.
