# Wan 2.6 Image AI Image Generator

> A bilingual Wan image model with an optional single reference for style-guided generation.

Canonical URL: https://allimageai.com/models/wan-2-6-image/

Website: All Image AI

Language: English

Wan 2.6 Image generates from Chinese or English text and can take one optional source as style guidance. Its exact endpoint returns output up to 1280 pixels and may also return generated text metadata, so this page keeps the workflow deliberately focused on still images.

2. Optionally add one style source.

4. Generate several independent variants.

## Settings explained

### Reference Image

An optional single source guides style; the endpoint is not a multi-reference compositor.

### Negative Prompt

Supports up to 500 characters upstream; concise defect terms work best.

## Prompt examples

### Fantasy environment

> An ancient library floating among clouds, golden-hour light through massive windows, photorealistic, quiet atmosphere

### Style-guided scene

> Use the uploaded image only for colour and brush texture; create a coastal village at sunrise with a new composition

## Limitations

- 1280-pixel ceiling
- One reference image
- Upstream billing is metered by compute time rather than a guaranteed flat image price

## Pricing and credits

## Test results

Testing in progress. No verified benchmark scores have been published for this model.

## Commercial use and image handling

Commercial use is governed by Alibaba's model licence and the selected service terms.

Uploads are processed by the configured inference service. You can delete a generation from your history.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why is the route not auto-selected by price?

The current provider bill is based on compute seconds, so it is excluded from cheapest-route automation.

### Can it edit a source precisely?

The source is documented as optional style guidance; use Wan 2.7 or another edit model for precise changes.
