Alibaba's WAN 2.1 on Pixel Dojo
WAN 2.1 AI Video Generator
WAN 2.1 takes any WAN 2.1 LoRA by URL, so one prompt can come out as clean flat color 2D animation or as a photoreal shot.
WAN 2.1 is Alibaba's open video model and the base for thousands of community LoRAs: animation styles, characters, camera moves and effects. On Pixel Dojo you can run it in the browser with no GPU, paste a LoRA link, set its strength and generate. It does text to video and image to video, 1 to 5 second clips at 480p or 720p, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. We made every example on this page on Pixel Dojo, and each one comes with the exact prompt behind it.
12.5 credits ($0.78) per 5 s clip at 480p. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

WAN 2.1 examples: animation, macros, nature and more
Six clips we made with WAN 2.1. Tap Use this prompt on any tile to start from it, then swap in your own subject or your own LoRA.
LoRA animation at 720p, 5 seconds. A community flat color LoRA turns WAN 2.1 into a clean 2D animation studio: no line art, smooth fins and soft dusk colors.
flat color, no lineart, 2d animation. A giant orange and white koi fish swims slowly through the sky above a quiet canal town at dusk, its long fins rippling like silk, paper lanterns glowing along the rooftops, soft pink and violet clouds drifting below it. Wide shot, the camera is steady. The animation is smooth and fluid.
Emotional close-up at 720p, 5 seconds. Candlelight on her face, rain on the glass and a small smile as she reads.
Close-up, slow push in. A woman in her sixties with long silver braids sits by a candlelit window reading a handwritten letter, her eyes filling with tears as a small smile spreads across her face, candlelight flickering warm on her cheeks, rain trickling down the dark glass behind her. Soft warm light, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens, gentle film grain.
Magical effect at 480p, 5 seconds. Each dandelion seed lights up into a firefly and drifts into the night.
Close-up in a night meadow, slow push in. A single white dandelion clock sways in a gentle breeze, then its seeds lift off one by one and each seed lights up into a glowing golden firefly that drifts up into a starry violet sky, until only the bare stem remains. Magical, soft bokeh, cool blue moonlight with warm golden glows, 50mm lens.
Food macro at 480p, 1:1, 5 seconds. Thick honey folds into ribbons and glows amber in the backlight.
Macro product shot, slow push in. Thick golden honey spirals off a wooden honey dipper and folds into ribbons as it pours into a small glass jar, catching warm backlight that makes it glow amber, a honeycomb slab resting beside the jar on a rustic oak table. Shallow depth of field, 100mm macro lens, soft morning light, premium food commercial.
Beverage commercial at 480p, 1:1, 5 seconds. Cream blooms into the coffee in a slow macro push in.
Macro side shot, slow push in. Cold cream pours into a tall glass of iced coffee on a marble cafe counter and blooms into swirling white clouds that curl around the clear ice cubes, beads of condensation running down the glass. Warm morning window light, dark wood background, shallow depth of field, 100mm macro lens, premium beverage commercial.
Vertical aerial at 480p, 9:16, 5 seconds. Golden birches, turquoise water and a red canoe for a fall Reel.
Aerial drone shot gliding slowly forward above a winding turquoise river through a golden autumn birch forest, morning mist hanging over the water, a small red canoe drifting near the bank. Soft sunrise light, rich orange and yellow foliage, epic scale, crisp detail.
The same WAN 2.1 prompt with and without a LoRA
We sent one prompt for a koi swimming through the sky, starting with the tags "flat color, no lineart, 2d animation", twice at 480p for 12.5 credits each. The second run added a community flat color LoRA at strength 1. With the LoRA, the koi swims across the frame with rippling fins in a clean, consistent 2D style.
No LoRA, 480p. WAN 2.1 reads the style words and paints a soft illustrated koi.
flat color, no lineart, 2d animation. A giant orange and white koi fish swims slowly through the sky above a quiet canal town at dusk, its long fins rippling like silk, paper lanterns glowing along the rooftops, soft pink and violet clouds drifting below it. Wide shot, the camera is steady. The animation is smooth and fluid.
Flat color LoRA at strength 1, 480p. Bold flat shapes and a koi that swims through the whole frame.

- Paste the LoRA link into the LoRA URL field, then start the prompt with the LoRA's trigger words. This one uses "flat color, no lineart, 2d animation".
- Strength 1 is a good start. Go higher for a stronger style, lower to blend it with the base look.
- Ask for smooth motion in words: "The animation is smooth and fluid" and "the camera is steady" kept our koi clean.
- Explore at 480p for 12.5 credits a clip, then render the winner at 720p.
