* ABOUT HAILUO V2

Working with Hailuo V2

Hailuo V2 is the compact generation: a Standard image-to-video variant and a Standard text-to-video variant, both producing smooth, realistic clips for content and storytelling without tier choices to make.

When to choose Hailuo V2

Use Hailuo V2 when you want a predictable single-tier call. Hailuo 2.3 is the family with Fast, Standard and Pro options and better detail; H3 is the one with 2K and native audio.

Choosing between the variants

Image to Video animates a photo you already have; Text to Video builds the clip from a description. Both are the Standard tier, so quality is consistent between them.
