Wan

Wan runs from its website at wan.video, where you can make and edit images and video with AI. It is Alibaba's AI creative platform, and the tools cover text to image, image to image, text to video and image to video, plus photo editing.

That makes Wan a single place to go from a written prompt to a still picture or a short clip, then rework the result.

The Alibaba backing is the main reason to pay attention, since the platform draws on that company's technology and resources.

It also lowers the barrier for people who have no drawing or animation background.

Expect a learning curve before you get the most from every feature.

Output quality changes with how you write your prompts, so early results can be uneven.

And you get less direct creative control than you would with traditional methods like painting, 3D or manual video editing.

Think of it as a fast way to draft ideas, not a replacement for a full production workflow.
