When Will Wan 2.2 Animate Support 1080p? Latest Updates
Many creators are asking: "When will Wan 2.2 Animate support 1080p?" This is a common question from video professionals who need higher resolution for their projects. Let's explore the current status, technical possibilities, and practical solutions available right now.
I've been tracking Wan 2.2 developments since its release, and here's what we know about 1080p support.
Current Status: What Official Sources Say
Based on the official GitHub repository and community discussions:
The current Wan 2.2 Animate models officially support 480p and 720p resolutions. According to the official documentation, all Animate variants (T2V, I2V, and TI2V) are limited to these resolutions. While community experiments have tried to push beyond 720p, the results typically show quality degradation.
In our research of recent discussions on platforms like Reddit and ComfyUI groups, several users have attempted 1080p generation. Most report that while it's technically possible, it often produces artifacts, inconsistent motion, and other quality issues because the model was trained primarily on 720p data.
Why 1080p Support Is Limited
Here's the technical reason: Wan 2.2 was trained on 720p datasets. When you force higher resolutions, the model struggles to maintain the same quality level because it hasn't learned the patterns for 1080p video generation.
This is a common challenge in AI video generation - higher resolution requires both more training data and specialized model architectures. The Wan team would need to retrain the model on 1080p data to achieve reliable results.
Possible Solutions for Higher Resolution
Option 1: Wait for Official 1080p Support
The safest bet is to wait for an official announcement. Monitor the Wan-Video GitHub repository for updates, particularly in their "Latest News" section where they announce new features.
The Wan team has been regularly releasing improvements, so 1080p support might arrive in a future version. However, there's no official timeline yet.
Option 2: Experimental Community Workarounds
Some advanced users have attempted workarounds, but these come with significant limitations:
- Increased VRAM requirements: 1080p demands more memory
- Quality degradation: Results often show artifacts
- Inconsistent motion: Complex scenes may break
- Technical expertise required: Needs coding knowledge
Option 3: Use Post-Processing Upscaling
A more practical approach is generating at 720p and using AI upscaling tools like Topaz Video Enhance AI or Real-ESRGAN. While not true native 1080p generation, this can provide acceptable results for many projects.
This method works best for static scenes or simple motions but may struggle with complex character animations.

Common Questions About 1080p Support
Q: Will Wan 2.2 Animate ever support 1080p natively? A: Based on our analysis of official communications, it's likely that future versions will include higher resolution support. However, there's no confirmed timeline. The Wan team has been actively developing the platform, and resolution improvements typically come with major version updates.
Q: Can I create 1080p videos with Wan 2.2 right now? A: Technically possible through advanced workarounds, but not recommended for professional use. The quality degradation and technical challenges make it unsuitable for most production needs.
Q: How does 720p from Wan-Animate compare to other platforms? A: Our 720p output is optimized and delivers professional-quality results. We use the same underlying Wan 2.2 model but with optimized cloud infrastructure for consistent performance.
Looking Ahead: What's Next for Wan 2.2?
Based on recent update patterns, I expect the Wan team will eventually address higher resolutions. They've shown commitment to quality improvements with each release, expanding model capabilities and resolution options.
In the meantime, Wan-Animate provides a practical solution for creators who need reliable video generation without technical hurdles. Our platform is built specifically for creators who want to focus on content rather than technical setup.
The Bottom Line
Current Status: Wan 2.2 Animate officially supports up to 720p resolution 1080p Possibility: Likely in future updates, but no confirmed timeline Practical Solution: Use our SaaS platform for immediate, reliable results
