Frequently Asked Questions About Wan 2.1
What Wan 2.1 models does VideoBGRemover support?
We support all Wan 2.1 model outputs:
Text-to-Video Models:
- T2V-1.3B (lightweight, runs on consumer GPUs)
- T2V-14B (full-size model)
Image-to-Video Models:
- I2V-14B-720P (higher resolution)
- I2V-14B-480P (faster generation)
VACE Model:
- Video creation and editing all-in-one
All outputs work seamlessly with our background removal.
Can I run Wan on my own GPU and then use VideoBGRemover?
Yes! This is a common workflow:
Local Generation + Cloud Processing:
- Run Wan 2.1 on your local GPU (RTX 4090 or similar)
- The 1.3B model needs only 8.19GB vRAM
- Export your generated video
- Upload to VideoBGRemover for background removal
- Download with transparent alpha
This gives you free local generation + professional background removal.
How does Wan compare to other AI video generators?
Wan 2.1 has unique advantages:
Strengths:
- Open-source (Apache 2.0 license)
- Runs on consumer hardware (RTX 4090)
- Excellent physics simulation
- Chinese and English prompt support
- Multiple model sizes for different needs
For Background Removal:
- Wan's realistic physics means natural motion
- Clean edges due to stable generation
- Works great with our AI processing
What video lengths does Wan support?
Wan 2.1 Output Lengths:
- Typical generation: 5 seconds at 480p or 720p
- RTX 4090 can generate 5s 480p video in under 4 minutes
VideoBGRemover:
- Supports up to 120 minutes total
- Process multiple Wan clips in sequence
- Batch processing available via SDK
For longer content, generate multiple clips in Wan and process them together.
Is Wan 2.1 really free to use?
Yes! Wan 2.1 is open-source under Apache 2.0 license:
Free Access:
- Available on Hugging Face
- Available on Alibaba's Model Scope
- Free for research and academic use
- Commercial use allowed under license
Costs to Consider:
- Your own GPU electricity/compute
- Cloud GPU rental if not running locally
- VideoBGRemover for background removal (from $0.50/min)
Does Wan support audio generation?
Wan 2.1 has a video-to-audio capability:
- Primary focus is visual generation (T2V, I2V)
- Video-to-audio model available separately
- No native lip-sync audio
For background removal, this means:
- Process visual track independently
- Add audio in post-production
- No audio sync concerns during compositing
Can I preview background removal before purchasing?
Yes! Upload your Wan-generated video and preview the full result with a watermark before deciding to purchase credits. No credit card required - see exactly how your Wan generation will look with the background removed.
