What is Wavespeed AI?
Wavespeed AI is an AI media generation platform that lets developers and creators produce images, videos, audio, 3D, and LLM outputs through a single workflow.
Media generation across common workflows
Wavespeed AI provides access to 1000+ models for multiple creative and production tasks, organized for common pipelines such as text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, and image-to-video. Beyond generation, the platform also includes options for video editing/extend-style tasks, and model categories spanning video edit, enhance, upscale, motion control, avatars (including lipsync/talking avatar), swapping/removal tools, and 3D creation.
One model library behind a single access method
Instead of switching between providers per model, Wavespeed AI is designed to integrate any supported model with a single API call using documentation and quickstart examples for Node, Python, and cURL. For faster iteration, CLI tooling and scripts are available (for example image/video/speech/chat) so you can run generations and retrieve outputs from your terminal.
Developer and creator entry points
If you want a code-first workflow, use the API plus quickstarts. If you prefer interactive creation, use the Image Generator and Video Generator interfaces directly, or download the WaveSpeed desktop app to create without setup.
Performance and availability signals
The platform highlights sub-second image generation, up to 4× faster video rendering, and 99.99% uptime for enterprise-grade infrastructure.
Pricing basics and trial credits
Wavespeed AI uses pay-per-use billing (no monthly commitments). Eligible new accounts can start with $1 in free credits and no credit card required. Pricing varies by model and parameters; the pricing page shows example starting prices for image, video, and LLM models, and notes that actual cost depends on resolution/duration and other settings.
Examples of listed starting prices include:
- Image: $0.045/image for Seedream 5.0 Pro; $0.027/image for Seedream 5.0 Flash
- Video: $0.18/second for Seedance 2.5; $0.05/second for Wan 3.0; $0.157/second for Kling 4.0
How to get started
- Use the API for single-call model access (Node/Python/cURL quickstarts)
- Try Image Generator/Video Generator for interactive runs
- Use the desktop app or CLI for creator and terminal workflows
