Model

Description

Output image specifications

wan2.5-i2i-preview

Wan 2.5 preview

Supports single-image editing and multi-image fusion.

Image format: PNG.

Image resolution:

  • Specify the resolution of the output image using the parameters.size parameter, in the format width*height (in pixels).

  • If you do not specify a resolution, the system outputs an image with 1280*1280 total pixels by default. The system preserves an aspect ratio similar to the input image:

    • Single-image input: The aspect ratio matches the input image.

    • Multi-image input: The aspect ratio matches the last input image.

Note

Check the model list and pricing for your region before calling.

Prerequisites

Before making a call, get an API key and export the API key as an environment variable. To make calls using the SDK, install the DashScope SDK.

Important

The Beijing and Singapore regions have separate API keys and request endpoints. Do not use them interchangeably. Cross-region calls result in authentication failures or service errors.

HTTP

Image editing takes time. Use asynchronous calls: submit a task to get a task ID, then poll until ready.

Tip: Poll every 5 seconds until the task status changes to SUCCEEDED or FAILED.

Step 1: Submit a task and retrieve the task ID

Singapore: POST https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/image2image/image-synthesis

Beijing: POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/image2image/image-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 a beginner's tutorial, see Use Postman or cURL.

DashScope SDK

SDK parameters mirror the HTTP API, with structures adapted to each language’s conventions.

The SDK handles polling internally, offering both synchronous and asynchronous call modes.

Processing time depends on queue depth and service load. The SDK waits for results automatically.

Python SDK

Important

Make sure that your DashScope Python SDK version is 1.25.2 or later.

Earlier versions may cause 'url error, please check url!' errors. See Install or upgrade the SDK.

Synchronous

Limitations

  • Data retention: Task IDs and image URLs expire after 24 hours.

  • Content moderation: All inputs (prompts, images) and outputs are automatically moderated. Non-compliant content triggers `IPInfringementSuspect` or `DataInspectionFailed` errors. See Error messages.

Error codes

If the model call fails and returns an error message, see Error messages for resolution.

FAQ

Q: I'm migrating from Wan2.1. What API changes should I know about?

A: Parameter designs differ between versions—adjustments are required.

Q: How do I view the number of model calls?

A: Usage metrics (call count, success rate) appear on the Monitoring (Singapore) or Monitoring (Beijing) page within one hour. For instructions, see How to view model call records?.
