Video Generation
Generate videos from text, images, or audio — all from one platform. WaveSpeed unifies every major AI video generation method with optimized speed, zero cold starts, and a single API.
Every Video Generation Method, One Platform
Other platforms lock you into one model or one input type. WaveSpeed gives you every generation method in a unified workflow — pick the right approach for the job, switch models in seconds.

How Video Generation Works on WaveSpeed
Whether you use the web playground or the API, the workflow is the same — fast, flexible, and fully managed.
Step 1: Choose Your Input
Start with what you have — a text prompt, a reference image, an audio clip, or existing footage. WaveSpeed supports all input types across its model catalog.
Step 2: Select a Model
Browse 700+ models or filter by method (text-to-video, image-to-video, etc.). Each model page shows capabilities, pricing, resolution, and sample outputs — so you know exactly what you're getting before you generate.
Step 3: Generate
Hit run. WaveSpeed's inference infrastructure handles the rest — optimized with ParaAttention and first-frame caching for maximum throughput and minimum latency. No cold starts, no queuing.
Step 4: Integrate or Download
Grab the output directly, or pipe it into your product via REST API. Batch processing, webhook callbacks, and SDK support (Python / JavaScript) are all built in for production workflows.
