:Wan - image-to-video - first and last frames API reference

Last Updated:Apr 17, 2026

The Wan kf2v model generates a smoothly transitioning video from a first frame image, a last frame image, and a text prompt.

References: User guide

Availability

The model, endpoint URL, and API key must be in the same region. Cross-region calls fail.

Note

Sample codes in this topic apply to the Singapore region.

HTTP

Image-to-video tasks take 1 to 5 minutes, so the API uses asynchronous calls: Create a task → Poll for the result.

Step 1: Create a task

Singapore

POST https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/image2video/video-synthesis

Beijing

POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/image2video/video-synthesis

Note
  • After the task is created, use the returned task_id to query the result. The task_id is valid for 24 hours. Do not create duplicate tasks. Instead, use polling to retrieve the result.

  • For guidance for beginners, see Postman.

Request parameters

Image-to-video from first and last frames

Generate a video based on the first frame, last frame, and a prompt.

curl --location 'https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/image2video/video-synthesis' \
    -H 'X-DashScope-Async: enable' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
    "model": "wan2.2-kf2v-flash",
    "input": {
        "first_frame_url": "https://wanx.alicdn.com/material/20250318/first_frame.png",
        "last_frame_url": "https://wanx.alicdn.com/material/20250318/last_frame.png",
        "prompt": "Realistic style, a small black cat looks up at the sky curiously, the camera gradually rises from eye level, and finally captures its curious gaze from a top-down view."
    },
    "parameters": {
        "resolution": "480P",
        "prompt_extend": true
    }
}'

Use a negative prompt

Use the negative_prompt parameter to prevent the generated video from containing "people".

curl --location 'https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/image2video/video-synthesis' \
    -H 'X-DashScope-Async: enable' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
    "model": "wan2.1-kf2v-plus",
    "input": {
        "first_frame_url": "https://wanx.alicdn.com/material/20250318/first_frame.png",
        "last_frame_url": "https://wanx.alicdn.com/material/20250318/last_frame.png",
        "prompt": "Realistic style, a small black cat looks up at the sky curiously, the camera gradually rises from eye level, and finally captures its curious gaze from a top-down view.",
        "negative_prompt": "people"
    },
    "parameters": {
        "resolution": "720P",
        "prompt_extend": true
    }
}'
Request headers

Content-Type string (Required)

The content type of the request. Must be application/json.

Authorization string (Required)

Authenticates the request with a Model Studio API key. Example: Bearer sk-xxxx.

X-DashScope-Async string (Required)

Enables asynchronous processing. HTTP requests support only asynchronous calls. Must be enable.

Important

If this request header is missing, the error "current user api does not support synchronous calls" is returned.

Request body

model string (Required)

The model name. Example: wan2.2-kf2v-flash. For more information, see Model list and pricing.

input object (Required)

Basic input information, including the prompt.

Properties

prompt string (Optional)

The text prompt. Supports Chinese and English. Maximum 800 characters (each Chinese character or letter counts as one). Text exceeding the limit is truncated automatically.

For significant changes between first and last frames, describe the transition: camera movement (camera moves left) or subject movement (person runs forward).

Example: A small black cat looks up at the sky curiously. The camera gradually rises from eye level and finally captures its curious gaze from a top-down view.

For best practices, see Prompt guide for text-to-video and image-to-video.

negative_prompt string (Optional)

Describes content to exclude from the video, helping constrain output.

Supports Chinese and English. Maximum length: 500 characters. Text exceeding the limit is automatically truncated.

Example: low resolution, error, worst quality, low quality, deformed, extra fingers, bad proportions.

first_frame_url string (Required)

The URL of the first frame image. Output video aspect ratio matches this image.

The URL must be publicly accessible and support HTTP or HTTPS.

Image requirements:

  • Format: JPEG, JPG, PNG (no alpha channels), BMP, or WEBP.

  • Resolution: Width and height between 240 and 8,000 pixels.

  • File size: Max 10 MB.

last_frame_url string (Required)

The URL of the last frame image. Must be publicly accessible and support HTTP or HTTPS.

Image requirements:

  • Format: JPEG, JPG, PNG (no alpha channels), BMP, or WEBP.

  • Resolution: Width and height between 240 and 8,000 pixels. Resolution may differ from first frame (no alignment required).

  • File size: Max 10 MB.

parameters object (Optional)

Video processing parameters.

Properties

resolution string (Optional)

Important

The resolution directly affects cost (1080P > 720P > 480P for the same model). Confirm model pricing before calling.

Resolution tier for the generated video. Adjusts definition (total pixels) only, not aspect ratio. Video aspect ratio matches the first frame image (first_frame_url).

The default value and available values depend on the model parameter:

  • wan2.2-kf2v-flash: Options are 480P, 720P, and 1080P. Default is 720P.

  • wan2.1-kf2v-plus: Option is 720P. Default is 720P.

Example: 720P.

duration integer (Optional)

Important

Duration directly affects cost (billed per second). Confirm model pricing before calling.

Video duration in seconds. Fixed at 5 (model always generates 5-second videos).

prompt_extend bool (Optional)

Enable prompt rewriting. If enabled, an LLM rewrites the input prompt, improving results for short prompts but increasing processing time.

  • true (default)

  • false

Example: true.

watermark bool (Optional)

Adds an "AI-generated" watermark to the bottom-right corner.

  • false (default)

  • true

Example: false.

seed integer (Optional)

The random number seed must be an integer in the range [0, 2147483647].

If not specified, a random seed is generated. A fixed seed improves reproducibility.

Because model generation is probabilistic, the same seed does not guarantee identical results.

DashScope SDK

SDK parameter names match the HTTP API. Parameter structures follow language-specific conventions.

Image-to-video tasks take 1 to 5 minutes, so the SDK wraps async call logic and supports both sync and async calls.

The actual time depends on queue length and service performance. Please wait patiently for the result.

Python SDK

Important

Ensure DashScope Python SDK version is at least 1.23.8 before running this code. Older versions may trigger "url error, please check url!" errors. Update via the SDK installation guide.

Set base_http_api_url for your model's region:

Singapore

dashscope.base_http_api_url = 'https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1'

Beijing

dashscope.base_http_api_url = 'https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1'

Sample code

Limitations

  • Data retention: task_id and video_url are retained for 24 hours. After expiration, they cannot be queried or downloaded.

  • Audio support: Generates silent videos only. Audio output is not supported. To generate audio, use speech synthesis.

  • Content moderation: Content Moderation reviews all prompts, images, and videos. If content violates policies, the system returns "IPInfringementSuspect" or "DataInspectionFailed" errors. See Error messages for details.

Error codes

If a model call fails, see Error messages for troubleshooting.

FAQ

Q: How do I generate a video with a specific aspect ratio, such as 3:4?

A: Output video aspect ratio is determined by the first frame image (first_frame_url). However, exact ratios (e.g., strict 3:4) are not guaranteed and may vary slightly.

  • Why does drift occur:

    The model uses your input image aspect ratio as a baseline and calculates the closest valid resolution based on the resolution setting's pixel count. Video dimensions must be multiples of 16, so the model fine-tunes the final resolution. Output aspect ratio may not be exactly 3:4 but will be very close.

    • Example: input 750×1000 (ratio 3:4 = 0.75), resolution = "720P" (target ~920,000 pixels), output 816×1104 (ratio ≈ 0.739, ~900,000 pixels).

  • Best practices:

    • Input control: Use a first-frame image with an aspect ratio as close as possible to your target.

    • Post-processing: If you require exact ratios, crop or add black bars to the generated video using editing tools.

Q: How do I get the domain name whitelist for video storage?

A: Videos generated by models are stored in OSS. The API returns a temporary public URL. To configure a firewall whitelist for this download URL, note the following: The underlying storage may change dynamically. This topic does not provide a fixed OSS domain name whitelist to prevent access issues caused by outdated information. If you have security control requirements, contact your account manager to obtain the latest OSS domain name list.
