What can PixVerse V6 do?

It has four modes: text to video; image to video with an optional last frame; reference to video, which PixVerse calls Fusion, with up to 7 named elements; and video extend. All four make clips of 1 to 15 seconds at 360p to 1080p.

How do I name my references in the prompt?

Give each element a name of 1 to 30 characters and write @name in the prompt where it should appear, followed by a space. In our test "@trailer," with a comma right after the name was rejected, and "@trailer and" worked. Each element is a subject (the default: a person, animal, object or product) or a background (a place).

What do I get back from video extend?

One file with your source clip followed by the new seconds: a 5-second source plus 5 new seconds came back as a 10.1 second file. The source seconds are not billed. The setting and the motion carried on in our test, but the car looked different in the new part, so check the details.

When should I use PixVerse V6 Max or PixVerse V6 Effects instead?

PixVerse V6 Max is the higher-quality tier of V6 for text to video and image to video: pick it when picture quality matters more than references, extend or a last frame, and expect a higher rate per second than V6. PixVerse V6 Effects turns one photo, or two for three of the templates, into a themed clip with one of 50 ready-made PixVerse templates, with no prompt to write.

Per second of output. Resolution and the audio switch change the price per second; aspect ratio, shot type and seed do not. Video extend is billed on the new seconds. Failed or declined requests are not charged.

Are prompts and images reviewed?

PixVerse reviews prompts and images before generating; requests it declines fail and are not charged. If a request is declined, change the wording or the image and send it again.

Introduction

PixVerse V6 Image to video animates a first frame into a clip of 1 to 15 seconds at 360p, 540p, 720p or 1080p. Add last_image_url and the clip moves from the first image to the last one. The prompt is required and describes what happens. The clip keeps the aspect ratio of your first image. Images are JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB each. PixVerse reviews prompts and images before generating; requests it declines fail and are not charged.

Choose a PixVerse V6 mode by starting material

What you have at the start	Mode
a written scene	PixVerse V6 Text to video
a first frame, and optionally a last frame	PixVerse V6 Image to video (you are here)
photos of people, objects or places to cast from	PixVerse V6 Reference to video
a clip you want to continue	PixVerse V6 Video extend
a prompt or one image, and you want higher picture quality	PixVerse V6 Max
one photo and a ready-made themed template, no prompt to write	PixVerse V6 Effects

Key features & highlights

First frame, optional last frame

image_url sets the opening and last_image_url the ending. In our test a woman in a rust coat at the open slit of a white observatory dome (first frame) and the same woman leaning back on the railing with her arms crossed (last frame) became one move: she turns, walks along the railing, leans back and crosses her arms, and the clip ends on the last frame.

The shape follows your image

There is no aspect-ratio field. A portrait image comes back as a portrait clip, a wide image as a wide clip.

A multi-shot switch

shot_type is single by default. Set multi to let the model cut the clip into several shots. It cannot be combined with a last frame.

Sound when you want it

generate_audio is off by default. On, the model generates ambience, effects, music and any dialogue you write in quotes. Sound on costs more per second.

Request parameters

Request parameters for PixVerse V6 · Image to Video
Parameter	Required	Description
`prompt`	Yes	Required, 3 to 5,000 characters. Describe what happens between and after the frames: the action and the camera. at least 3 characters · at most 5000 characters
`image_url`	Yes	Required. The first frame, JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB.
`last_image_url`	No	Optional last frame, same formats and size. With it the clip moves from the first image to the last one.
`resolution`	No	360p, 540p, 720p (default) or 1080p. Higher resolutions cost more per second. `360p` · `540p` · `720p` · `1080p` · Default: `720p`
`duration_seconds`	No	Whole seconds, 1 to 15 (default 5). The price is per second. `≥ 1` · `≤ 15` · Default: `5`
`generate_audio`	No	Off by default. On generates sound with the picture: ambience, effects, music and dialogue written in quotes. Default: `false`
`shot_type`	No	single (default) or multi. multi lets the model cut the clip into several shots and cannot be combined with a last frame. `single` · `multi` · Default: `single`
`seed`	No	Optional whole number from 0 to 2147483647. Useful to compare one change at a time; it does not guarantee identical frames. `≥ 0` · `≤ 2147483647`

Pricing

Billed per second of output. The resolution and the audio switch change the price per second; shot type and seed do not. Failed or declined requests are not charged.

Pricing
Resolution	Generate audio: No	Generate audio: Yes
`360p`	$0.0222 / second	$0.0311 / second
`540p`	$0.0311 / second	$0.04 / second
`720p`	$0.04 / second	$0.0533 / second
`1080p`	$0.08 / second	$0.1022 / second

Use cases

Bring a still to life

A portrait, a street scene or a frame saved from an earlier clip. Describe what happens next and the person, wardrobe and setting come from the image.

Move between two poses

Give a last frame that differs from the first and let the model fill in the move, as in our observatory example.

Keep a character across shots

Save a frame from one clip and use it as the first frame of the next to carry a person and a set from shot to shot.

Explore key use-case tutorials

Prompt guide & pro tips

Describe the motion, not the picture

The image already shows what everything looks like. Spend the prompt on the action, the camera move and, if audio is on, the sound.

Keep both frames consistent

Use the same person and set in the first and the last frame. Frames that disagree leave the model no natural move between them.

Give each beat room

In our gas-station test the prompt listed a lamp, a map, a walk and a passing truck; the man folded the map, tucked it away and walked to the car, and the truck with its headlights on appeared in the last second of the 5-second clip. Ask for fewer beats, or add seconds, if a late beat matters.

Compare with a seed

seed keeps runs comparable while you change one thing at a time. It does not guarantee identical frames.

Results

What you can make with PixVerse V6

From text
A close-up that rises to an aerial
One paragraph opened on a close shot of the laughing driver with her scarf flying, then the camera rose to a wide aerial of the teal convertible on the cliff road above the ocean. The prompt asked for the drone to pull back and rise; the cut from close-up to aerial came from the model.
Text to video, 5 seconds at 540p, 16:9, no audio.
From frames
Pin the start and the end
A first frame of a woman in a rust coat at the open slit of an observatory dome and a last frame of her leaning on the railing became one move: she turns, walks along the railing, leans back and crosses her arms, ending on the last frame.
Image to video with a first and a last frame, 5 seconds at 540p.
From references
Cast a scene by name
A photo named maya and a photo named trailer, called as @maya and @trailer in the prompt, gave a dusk shot of her walking toward the camera with an enamel mug. Her face, hair and jacket match the reference, and so does the trailer. One frame shows a second figure briefly in the doorway.
Reference to video from two elements, @maya and @trailer, 5 seconds at 540p.
From a clip
Carry a scene on
The 5-second cliff-road clip plus 5 new seconds came back as one 10.1 second file. The coastal road, the sea and the light carried over; the car looked different in the new part, with another colour and shape.
Video extend: the cliff-road clip plus 5 new seconds, one 10.1 second file at 540p.

Content test

Is PixVerse V6 uncensored? What we tested

We ran each level on our live setup and checked every clip frame by frame. A pass means the content was actually on screen, not just that the request went through.

Content levels tested on PixVerse V6, by mode
Level	Text to video
MildThe lightest prompts in the test	Not tested yet
ModerateWhere filtered models start to refuse	RefusedTested Oct 25, 2026
StrongThe middle of the scale	Not tested yet
Very strongWhere most models start to hold back	Not tested yet
MaximumThe top of the scale	Not tested yet

Renders: on screen as written. Softened: generated, but milder than what was written. Refused: rejected. Not tested yet: we have not run that level on that mode.

How each mode behaves

All modes: Clips run 1 to 15 seconds at 360p to 1080p. PixVerse reviews prompts and images before generating; requests it declines fail and are not charged.
Image to video: The clip follows the aspect ratio of your first image; there is no aspect_ratio field. shot_type multi cannot be combined with a last frame. Images are JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB.
Reference to video: Send 1 to 7 elements and put a space after each @name: in our test "@trailer," with a comma right after the name was rejected because the name did not match. There is no multi-shot switch on this endpoint, and small artifacts can appear, such as a second figure in one frame of our sample.
Video extension: The new part continues the setting and the motion, but details can drift: in our test the car changed colour and shape. We tested extend with a PixVerse V6 clip.

Use cases

What to build with the PixVerse V6 API

Opening and establishing shots
Write the place, the light, one camera move and the look. Camera moves you write in the prompt are followed, and sound can come with the picture.
Stills that move between two poses
Give a first frame and a last frame and let the model fill in the move between them.
Consistent people, products and places
Send up to 7 named elements, subjects or backgrounds, and cast them into a new scene with @name in the prompt.
Vertical and ultrawide frames
Text and reference to video take 9:16, 3:4, 2:3, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and 21:9. The price per second is the same for every aspect ratio.
Longer scenes in steps
Extend a clip by 1 to 15 seconds at a time, billed on the new seconds. Check props and vehicles after each join, because details can drift.

Prompts

PixVerse V6 prompt examples you can copy

Paste one into the playground as it is, then change one thing at a time.

Text to video
Place, action, camera, look
Result from this prompt
Golden hour on a cliffside coastal highway. A vintage teal convertible rounds a bend, a woman in a white silk headscarf and round sunglasses at the wheel, laughing as the scarf ripples behind her. The drone pulls back and rises to reveal the Pacific and the road winding into the haze. Warm 35mm film look.
Why it works. The prompt gives the place and light, the action, one camera move and the film look in the order they happen, so the model has a clear sequence to follow.
Try this prompt
Image to video
Describe the next beats, not the picture
Result from this prompt
The sodium lamp above the pumps flickers fully on. He folds the road map, slides it into his jacket and walks to the driver door as a truck passes, its headlights sweeping across him. Handheld, slow push-in.
Why it works. The first frame already shows the man, the car and the station, so the prompt spends its words on what he does next and how the camera moves.
This mode starts from your own image: add it in the playground before you run.
Try this prompt
Image to video
Pin the ending with a last frame
Result from this prompt
She takes one last look through the open slit of the dome, then turns around, leans back against the steel railing and crosses her arms with a small satisfied smile. Static wide shot.
Why it works. With a last frame set, the prompt just has to describe how she gets from one pose to the other, plus the camera.
This mode starts from your own image: add it in the playground before you run.
Try this prompt
Reference to video
Call each element with @name and a space
Result from this prompt
At blue hour in the high desert, @maya steps out of the door of @trailer and stretches, then walks toward the camera holding a steaming enamel mug as a string of warm bulbs flickers on along the awning. Slow dolly back.
Why it works. Each @name matches an element you sent and has a space after it; the rest of the prompt describes the action and the camera.
Try this prompt
Video extension
Say what happens next
Result from this prompt
The convertible keeps following the cliff road and disappears into a short stone tunnel; the camera holds on the sea as two gulls cross the frame.
Why it works. The clip already shows the road and the sea, so the prompt describes the next beat and where the camera goes.
