Alibaba’s image and video model. Image output is enough. For a finished video, still compare it with Kling.

Where to open it. An Alibaba Cloud Tongyi domain. It opens in China. https://tongyi.aliyun.com/wan/

What it is good for. Alibaba’s image and video model. Image output is enough. For a finished video, still compare it with Kling.

What it is not. Not the video first pick. This column places it under images so it does not take Kling’s video slot. The marketing line on the page is not a quality test this list ran.

Jimeng’s site also offers video generation, but this list ranks it under images. Video shots are compared among Kling, Vidu, and Hailuo. Image and video are not one rank. Kling, Vidu, and Hailuo for video in mainland China (2026): close, no score

Note

Wanxiang’s page title is “A leading AI video and image generation model.” The old Wanxiang address redirects to tongyi.aliyun.com/wan. It does both images and video. This column places it only under images, so it does not also take the video first pick from Kling. For one image, Jimeng and Wanxiang can both do it. For a finished video, go to the video column and look at Kling. Do not read the marketing title as if the image quality has already been tested for you.
