FAQ

WaveSpeed is free to start, so you can test AI video generation before scaling. Usage for higher-volume generation depends on the model and workflow you choose.

WaveSpeed hosts major AI video models including Wan, Seedance, Kling, Hailuo, Vidu, and more for text-to-video and image-to-video generation.

Speed depends on the model and video length, but WaveSpeed's infrastructure is optimized for minimal latency — with zero cold starts, ParaAttention acceleration, and FP8 quantization. Most generations complete in seconds to under a minute.

Most models support up to 1080P resolution. Video length varies by model — from 5-second clips to 2+ minute sequences. Check each model's specs on the model page for details.

Yes. WaveSpeed provides a unified REST API for all models. Generate videos programmatically with Python SDK or JavaScript SDK. Batch generation is also supported.

Commercial use depends on the model and your account terms. Check the selected model's usage policy before using AI-generated videos in ads, client work, or paid campaigns.
