Wan 2.6 Image is documented as an image-generation and editing model that supports multi-image input, image editing, and interleaved text-image output. It can be used for image editing workflows that combine a source image with text instructions to produce a revised image.
It can also be used for mixed text-and-image generation tasks where both modalities are combined in one output. Another direct use case is creating image outputs from provided image references, including workflows with multiple reference images.
