Wan 2.1 VACE, the CraftyPeak way
- One credit wallet for every model: Switch between video and image models without another subscription. Pay per second or per image, only for what you render.
- Templates you can remix: Start from a public template with its prompt and references ready, then make it yours.
- Characters that stay consistent: Build a character once in Character studio and reuse the same face and look across images and videos.
- Brand Studio for product ads: Turn a product and a brief into UGC-style ads and product shots in one workspace.
- Reels Studio and video editor: Plan reels, then trim, arrange and finish your clips in the CraftyPeak multi-track editor.
- PeakShelf library: Every generation lands in your PeakShelf library, ready to download, remix or reuse as a reference.
CraftyPeak passes provider savings straight to you, so every model is priced to undercut big platforms like Higgsfield and Runway.
