Wan 3.0 runs from 2 to 30 seconds in one generation, at 8 credits per second for 480p. A full 30-second draft costs 240 credits — about the price of 4 seconds of Seedance 2.5 at 720p.

What Is Wan 3.0?
Wan 3.0 is the newest model in Alibaba's Wan video family, the line that includes the popular open-source Wan 2.1 and 2.2. Alibaba made it generally available in August 2026, together with Wan 3.0 Prime, a faster version of the same model.
It makes clips of up to 30 seconds at up to 1080p with audio generated alongside the picture, and accepts up to 20 reference files — images, videos and audio clips. Both versions are available from the generator above — start from a prompt, a photo or a set of references. Visiojoy is an independent platform, not affiliated with Alibaba.

Why Use Wan 3.0
Four reasons it fits long-form and reference-heavy video work.
Sound you can keep or switch off
Audio — dialogue, effects, ambience and music — is generated with the video and is on by default. Unlike some models, you can switch it off in the settings when you plan to add your own soundtrack.
The most references of any model here
Up to 10 images, 5 videos and 5 audio clips per generation — 20 files in total, more than Seedance 2.5 (15) or MiniMax H3 (15). Use them to lock a character, copy motion or set a voice.
Start frame, end frame and Auto framing
Animate a photo from its first frame and, in the AI Video workspace, add an end frame for a controlled finish. The default Auto aspect ratio picks the framing for you or follows your image.
Wan 3.0 vs Wan 3.0 Prime
Same model, two speeds. Prime is Alibaba's accelerated version: identical inputs and output options, shorter waits, and about 63% higher price per second.
A practical rule: explore and draft with Wan 3.0, and switch to Prime when a client or a post is waiting. Pick either one from the model menu in the generator, or open the workspace with Wan 3.0 Prime selected.
| Wan 3.0 | Wan 3.0 Prime | |
|---|---|---|
| Generation speed | Standard | Faster (Alibaba's accelerated version) |
| 480p price | 8 credits / s | 13 credits / s |
| 720p price | 16 credits / s | 26 credits / s |
| 1080p price | 32 credits / s | 51 credits / s |
| Length, resolution, audio, references | Same | Same |
| Pick it for | Drafts, long clips, tight budgets | Deadlines and quick turnaround |
Wan 3.0 Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video and References
Three ways to start a clip. The generator above switches mode based on what you upload; end frames and the full settings panel are in the AI Video workspace.
Text to video
You upload
Nothing — just a prompt
Describe the scene, motion and sound. Auto framing or 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16.
Image to video
You upload
1 start image, optional end image
The clip opens on your photo. A prompt is required — say what moves. Add the end frame in the AI Video workspace.
Reference to video
You upload
Up to 10 images, 5 videos, 5 audio clips
Combine looks, motion and sound. Reference video and audio can each total 15s, and reference video plus output can't exceed 30s.
How to Use Wan 3.0
1
Write the scene in order
Subject, action, camera and sound. For longer clips, list the moments in sequence. Put spoken lines in quotes.
2
Pick Wan 3.0 or Wan 3.0 Prime
Both are in the model menu of the generator. Use Wan 3.0 to save credits, Prime when you need the result sooner.
3
Set length and resolution, then generate
Choose 2–30 seconds and 480p, 720p, 1080p. The credit cost shows before you start; download the finished video from the AI Video workspace.
Wan 3.0 Prompt Library
Wan 3.0 prompts written for long clips, references and built-in audio. Click one to load it into the generator, then match the settings shown on the card.
How to write a good Wan 3.0 prompt
- Use the full 30 seconds. List the moments in order — first this, then this, then this. Wan 3.0 follows the sequence instead of stretching one action across the whole clip.
- Leave the ratio on Auto. Auto lets Wan 3.0 pick the frame from your prompt or follow your start image. Set a fixed ratio only when the platform needs one, such as 9:16 for Reels.
- Write the sound you want. Audio is on by default. Put dialogue in quotes and list the key effects and ambience; switch audio off in the settings if you will add your own music.
- Describe motion with a start image. A prompt is required with a start image. Say what moves and how the camera moves rather than describing what's already in the photo.
- Budget reference video time. Reference video plus output can total 30 seconds. With a 10-second reference clip, the output can run up to 20 seconds.
Example prompts by use case
Clips of 20 to 30 seconds with a clear sequence of moments. Draft at 480p, then render the version you like at 1080p.
Mountain hike
30s · 16:9 · 1080pA hiker climbs a rocky mountain trail at sunrise. First, close-up of boots on loose stones; then a wide shot of the trail winding up the ridge; then she reaches the summit and the camera circles her as clouds roll below. Sound: heavy breathing, wind, a distant eagle call.
Bakery morning
25s · 16:9 · 720pA small bakery opens before dawn: the baker switches on the lights, pulls golden loaves from the oven, arranges them in the window, and flips the sign to Open as the first customer walks in. Warm, cozy light. Sound: oven door, crackling crust, a door bell.
Ocean storm
20s · 16:9 · 1080pA fishing boat battles a storm at night, waves crashing over the bow, lightning revealing the crew pulling ropes, then the storm breaks and the first light of morning appears on calm water. Sound: roaring waves, thunder, shouting crew, then quiet seagulls.
Upload a product photo as the start frame to keep it exact, and add an end frame in the AI Video workspace for a clean final shot.
Headphones spot
15s · 16:9 · 1080pMatte white over-ear headphones float and rotate slowly in a dark studio, light trails sweep across the ear cups, then a young woman puts them on and closes her eyes as colorful sound waves ripple around her. Sound: a deep bass drop, then a smooth synth melody.
Coffee brand
10s · 9:16 · 720pSlow-motion espresso pours into a glass cup, crema swirling, milk folds in to form a latte art heart, the cup slides toward the camera on a wooden counter. Morning café light. Sound: espresso machine hiss, gentle pour, café ambience.
Car reveal
12s · 16:9 · 1080pA silver electric car drives out of a misty tunnel onto a coastal road, low tracking shot alongside the wheels, then a wide drone shot following it around a cliff curve at sunset. Sound: a quiet electric hum, waves below, a cinematic swell.
For Reference to Video mode: mix images, videos and audio clips, and tell Wan 3.0 what each reference is for.
Keep a character
10s · Auto · 720pUse the girl from the reference images as the main character: same face, braided hair and green scarf. She runs through a snowy pine forest, stops, and catches a snowflake on her glove, smiling. Sound: crunching snow, her soft laugh, wind in the trees.
Restyle a clip
10s · Auto · 720pKeep the motion and camera movement from the reference video, but turn the scene into a hand-painted watercolor animation with soft paper texture and warm pastel colors. Sound: gentle piano.
Product + voiceover
15s · 16:9 · 1080pShow the perfume bottle from the reference image on a mirrored surface surrounded by white roses, slow orbit, petals falling. Use the voice from the reference audio as a calm voiceover. Elegant, luxurious lighting.

Wan 3.0 FAQ
What is Wan 3.0?+
Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's latest Wan video generation model, made generally available on Alibaba Cloud in August 2026 and on Visiojoy since October 2026. It generates 2- to 30-second clips at 480p, 720p, 1080p with native audio, from text, a start image, or image, video and audio references.
What is the difference between Wan 3.0 and Wan 3.0 Prime?+
Prime is Alibaba's accelerated version of Wan 3.0: it returns results faster, with the same inputs, lengths, resolutions and audio. Alibaba hasn't published an exact speed figure. On Visiojoy, Prime costs about 63% more per second — 13 / 26 / 51 credits at 480p / 720p / 1080p versus 8 / 16 / 32 for Wan 3.0.
How long can Wan 3.0 videos be?+
Any length from 2 to 30 seconds, set before you generate; the default is 5 seconds. With reference videos, the reference length plus the output length must stay within 30 seconds.
What's new in Wan 3.0 compared with Wan 2.6?+
The headline change is length: Wan 3.0 makes clips of up to 30 seconds, double Wan 2.6's 15. It also comes with Wan 3.0 Prime, a faster version of the same model, and takes up to 20 image, video and audio references in one generation.
Is Wan 3.0 open source?+
No, as of September 2026. Unlike Wan 2.1 and Wan 2.2, Alibaba has released Wan 3.0 as an API model without public weights, so you can't download and run it locally. The newest open-weight Wan model is Wan 2.2. Online tools like Visiojoy are the easiest way to use Wan 3.0 without an Alibaba Cloud account.
Does Wan 3.0 generate audio?+
Yes. Wan 3.0 creates dialogue, sound effects, ambience and music together with the video, and audio is on by default. You can switch it off in the generation settings if you only need the picture.
What references can I upload to Wan 3.0?+
In Reference to Video mode: up to 10 images (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB each), 5 videos (MP4 or MOV, up to 100 MB each, 15 seconds in total) and 5 audio clips (MP3 or WAV, up to 15 MB each, 15 seconds in total). Adding references requires signing in.
How much does Wan 3.0 cost?+
Wan 3.0 costs 8 credits per second at 480p, 16 at 720p and 32 at 1080p; a 30-second 720p clip is 480 credits. Wan 3.0 Prime costs 13 / 26 / 51. With reference videos, the reference length is billed at the same rate as the output.
Is Wan 3.0 free?+
Not entirely. New accounts get 12 free credits, and the shortest Wan 3.0 clip (2 seconds at 480p) costs 16, so the free credits alone aren't quite enough. A typical 5-second 480p clip costs 40 credits. To generate, you need a credit pack (from $9.90 for 640 credits — about 40 seconds of 720p Wan 3.0) or a subscription (from $15/month).
Wan 3.0, Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 — which should I use?+
Use Wan 3.0 for long clips and reference-heavy work on a budget. Use Seedance 2.5 for polished 30-second scenes at a higher price, and MiniMax H3 when you want 2K resolution and stereo sound in clips up to 15 seconds.
Can I use Wan 3.0 through an API or MCP?+
Alibaba offers Wan 3.0 through its Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API. Without setting up a separate account, you can also generate Wan 3.0 videos from Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Visiojoy MCP server, using the same credits as on this website.
Is Visiojoy the official Wan website?+
No. Visiojoy is an independent AI video platform and is not affiliated with Alibaba or the Wan team. It offers Wan 3.0 and Wan 3.0 Prime alongside Seedance, MiniMax H3, Grok Imagine and other models in one account.
Can I use Wan 3.0 videos commercially?+
Yes, once you've made a purchase. Videos created after your first purchase (any subscription or credit pack) can be used commercially; videos created before your first purchase are licensed for personal, non-commercial use only. Also check the destination platform's policy before publishing.
