Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's next-generation AI video platform built for creators, marketers, and production teams. Type a prompt, upload reference assets, and get a 4K video with synchronized audio — all in a single pass.
Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's most advanced AI video generation model, released in 2026. It converts text prompts, reference images, and audio files into cinematic 4K video with synchronized stereo audio — all in one pass. Unlike other AI video tools, Wan 3.0 generates dialogue, ambient sound, and background music automatically alongside the video.
Before you generate, it's worth knowing how to write prompts that get the most out of the model — see the Wan 3.0 prompt guide for copy-paste templates across every generation mode.
Input a text prompt or attach up to 12 reference assets — images for character appearance, video clips for camera style, audio files for voice or music tone. Wan 3.0 blends them into a single coherent output.
Every clip Wan 3.0 produces includes multi-track stereo audio — dialogue, ambient sound, and music — rendered at the same time as the video. No separate audio session. No manual sync.
Generate up to 30 seconds per clip. Use Video Continuation to extend scenes and maintain character consistency across chained generations for multi-minute productions.
Text to Video, Image to Video, Reference to Video, and Video Edit cover every creation workflow — from first-draft concept to polishing an existing clip without regenerating from scratch.
Go from prompt to broadcast-ready 4K video with synchronized audio in a single pass — no software to install, no studio required.
Head to the Wan 3.0 AI Video Generator and select your generation mode: Text to Video (T2V) for prompt-only creation, Image to Video (I2V) to animate a photo, Reference (R2V) for multi-asset character generation, or Video Edit to restyle an existing clip.
Pick 720p or 1080p resolution, set clip length (2–15 seconds), and choose your aspect ratio — 16:9 for landscape, 9:16 for mobile/vertical, 1:1 for square. Upload reference images, video clips, or audio files if your mode requires them.
Hit Generate Video. Wan 3.0 produces your clip in 2–4 minutes with audio already mixed in. Preview it directly in the browser, then download a watermark-free MP4 with commercial license included.

Wan 3.0 responds best to specific, structured prompts. See the difference side-by-side — then apply the formula to your own generations.
Prompt Formula
[Visual Style] + [Subject Description] + [Action / Motion] + [Camera Movement] + [Lighting / Atmosphere]
Example
“Cinematic, photorealistic — a young woman in a red coat walks through a rain-soaked Tokyo street at night, slow dolly forward, neon reflections on wet pavement, shallow depth of field, 4K”
“A city at night.”
“A cinematic wide shot of Manhattan at 2 AM — yellow taxi headlights streak through rain, wet asphalt reflects neon signs, slow pan left, ambient street noise, atmospheric fog.”
Add camera direction, lighting conditions, and time of day to ground Wan 3.0's output.
“Make her move.”
“The woman in Image 1 slowly looks up from her book, tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiles softly at the camera — gentle natural light, subtle depth of field shift.”
Describe specific, natural micro-movements — vague motion prompts produce generic results.
“A scene with Image 1.”
“Image 1 (the character) walks through a cobblestone street in Paris at dusk — medium tracking shot, warm golden light, soft bokeh background, cinematic grain.”
Establish shot type and camera behavior before describing the character's action.
Start prompts with the shot type — wide shot, medium shot, close-up, aerial — before describing the subject. Wan 3.0 uses this as a framing anchor. 'Close-up of hands' is clearer than 'show hands.'
When using I2V or R2V, reference assets by number: 'Image 1 is the main character,' 'Video 1 sets the camera style.' Wan 3.0 maps assets in upload order, so position matters.
'She walks' is vague. 'She strides confidently across the frame left to right, pausing to glance back over her shoulder' gives Wan 3.0 specific motion to animate. The more specific the action, the more accurate the result.
Include lighting, color temperature, and mood in the first third of the prompt. 'Golden hour, warm amber tones, shallow depth of field' gives Wan 3.0 a consistent visual identity to apply across the full clip.
The fastest way to internalize these tips is hands-on practice. Open the Wan 3.0 generator and test each prompt pattern — Prompt Extend will enhance your input automatically.
From TikTok content to commercial ad spots — here are six ways creators and teams are using Wan 3.0 to ship faster.
Generate 9:16 vertical clips with natural motion and ambient audio already mixed in. No editing session required — download the watermark-free MP4 and post directly to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
Sample Prompt
“9:16 vertical, a barista making latte art in a cozy café, close-up shots, warm amber light, ambient coffee shop sounds, cinematic grain, 15 seconds”
Upload a product image and prompt Wan 3.0 to animate it — controlled lighting, on-brand colors, and audio already included. Skip the studio booking entirely.
Sample Prompt
“Image 1 is a luxury skincare serum bottle — slow 360° rotation, soft studio lighting, white background, water droplets falling, ambient tone”
A text prompt plus a brand reference image generates a 30-second spot with synchronized audio. Run multilingual versions from the same character profile — no re-shoot per market.
Sample Prompt
“Image 1 is the brand spokesperson — confident on-camera delivery, modern office setting, warm neutral tones, 16:9, professional voiceover audio from Audio 1”
Describe your storyboard and Wan 3.0 frames up to 6 shots — each with its own camera move and scene content. Chain clips together through Video Continuation for longer productions.
Sample Prompt
“Wide shot of an abandoned lighthouse at dawn — slow push in, fog rolling across rocks, distant seagulls, cinematic grain, no music, atmospheric”
Provide a script and character reference; Wan 3.0 generates a narrated video lesson with a consistent on-screen instructor in any supported language. Lessons chain together through Video Continuation.
Sample Prompt
“Image 1 (instructor character) explains a chemistry concept at a whiteboard, medium shot, clean academic setting, neutral lighting, Audio 1 provides the narration”
A spokesperson prompt plus brand color values generates a polished corporate video in one pass — commercial license and audio included. No crew booking, no post-production.
Sample Prompt
“Image 1 (executive) delivers a message to camera, medium shot, modern boardroom, daylight through windows, natural delivery, professional audio from Audio 1”
