What is WaveSpeed?
WaveSpeed is an AI creative suite that gives individuals and development teams access to over 1,000 AI models for image generation, video creation, audio production, 3D modeling, and avatar animation through a web platform, desktop app, and unified API. The platform solves the fragmentation problem in generative media work. Instead of maintaining separate accounts and integration code for each model provider, every model runs through one endpoint and one billing account. WaveSpeed covers the full media stack across text-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, video editing, speech synthesis, music generation, and 3D asset creation.

Features & Benefits
- Text-to-Image Generation: generate still images from text prompts using models from OpenAI, Google, Ideogram, Recraft, Flux, Qwen, Stability AI, and others, with support for inpainting and outpainting.
- Text-to-Video Generation: produce video clips from text descriptions using models including Seedance, Kling, Hailuo, Wan, Pixverse, Vidu, Luma Ray, and Hunyuan, with output up to 4K.
- Image-to-Video Conversion: animate a still image into a video clip using motion control and reference-to-video models across multiple providers.
- Video Editing: modify existing video content using instruction-based AI edit models that apply prompt-guided changes to footage.
- Video Extension: lengthen existing video clips using first-and-last-frame control and extend models.
- Image Editing: apply generative fill, object replacement, background removal, inpainting, and instruction-based edits to still images.
- Image Upscaling: increase image resolution using dedicated upscale models from multiple providers.
- Video Upscaling and Enhancement: sharpen and upscale video output using crystal video upscaler and enhancement models.
- Object and Background Removal: extract or erase specific elements from images or video using remove-anything and background-removal models.
- Swap Anything: replace faces, objects, or outfits within images and video using swap models with natural blending.
- Object Detection and Segmentation: identify and isolate objects within images using detection and segmentation models.
- 3D Asset Creation: generate three-dimensional models from images or text using Hunyuan and related models.
- Avatar Lipsync: animate avatar faces to sync with audio, with support for multilingual dubbing that preserves the original speaker’s voice.
- Music Generation: create original music tracks and background audio from text prompts.
- Text-to-Speech: generate spoken audio from text using speech synthesis models.
- LoRA Training: train custom LoRA models on user-provided images to lock in a character or brand aesthetic for consistent output at scale.
- Content Detection: run content moderation checks on generated or uploaded media.
- Visual Workflow Editor: build node-based AI pipelines with 20-plus node types, batch runs, real-time cost tracking, and HTTP API exposure for use as a skill server.
- Web Playground: run any model interactively in a browser with no installation, no setup, and auto-generated code samples for API integration.
- Creative Studio: access 12 free browser-based creative tools including face enhancement, background removal, image erasing, and media conversion with no API key required.
- Desktop App: run the full model library from a native application on Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android with drag-and-drop input, camera capture, local history, and real-time preview.
- Unified API Access: call any model using a single API key with Node, Python, or cURL, with consistent request and response patterns across all providers.
- SOC 2 Type II Compliance: meet enterprise security requirements with end-to-end encryption and private VPC deployment options.

Real-World Applications
Short-form video production often requires animating product photos or turning storyboard frames into actual footage. A product team can feed still images into image-to-video models through the WaveSpeed web platform, apply instruction-based video edits, and export final clips without re-shooting anything.
Music and voiceover for video content can take as long to source as the video itself. A content producer can generate royalty-free background music from a text description, synthesize voiceover through speech models, and sync both to video output, all within one platform and one billing account.
Developers building generative media features into applications face the cost and complexity of integrating multiple provider SDKs. A software team can connect to the WaveSpeed API and switch between image, video, or audio models by changing a single parameter, with auto-generated Python, JavaScript, or cURL code samples cutting integration time significantly.
Avatar and lipsync workflows are common in e-learning, marketing localization, and synthetic presenter production. A localization team can take an existing presenter video, apply lipsync models to match new audio in a different language, and export the result without traditional re-recording.
Creative studios that produce branded content at volume need consistent visual output across many generated images. A studio can run LoRA training on a set of reference images to capture a character or brand aesthetic, then call the trained model through the API to produce on-brand assets at scale.
