Wan 2.7 is Alibaba's open-weight text-to-image and image-to-video model, released on April 1, 2026. It supports high-resolution image generation, 1080p video up to 15 seconds, native audio co-generation, and instruction-based video editing — all under an Apache 2.0 license for commercial use.
Use Wan 2.7 privately on Venice
On Venice, Wan 2.7 runs with full prompt anonymity — your inputs are not stored or profiled. This enables private, permissionless creation using one of the few open-weight models capable of both high-quality image and video synthesis. You gain sovereign control over visual content without Big Tech surveillance.
What can Wan 2.7 do?
- •Open-weight under Apache 2.0 — you can self-host, fine-tune, or integrate without licensing risk.
- •Unified model for both image and video generation, reducing pipeline fragmentation.
- •Supports instruction-based video editing — modify existing clips with natural language commands.
- •Native audio co-generation with phoneme-level lip sync and voice cloning capabilities.
- •Flexible input modes — text, image, or reference video to drive generation.
- •Max clip length capped at 15 seconds — shorter than some cinematic use cases require.
- •1080p resolution limit; no native 4K output like in Kling 3.0 or Sora 2.
- •No tool use, web search, or reasoning capabilities — strictly multimodal generation.
- •Still requires prompt engineering for consistent character or object persistence.
