API README

Hailuo 02 Standard Image To Video

Hailuo 02 Standard Image To Video is built for cinematic image animation, with this exact route focused on source-frame identity preservation. Hailuo 02 Standard is MiniMax's image-to-video AI model. Bring static images to life with fluid animation, consistent character motion, and professional-grade video output. It is designed for production workflows that need a clearly scoped media operation instead of a generic assistant response, preserving the supplied direction while returning an artifact ready for review, iteration, or downstream assembly.

The request surface keeps creative direction and delivery choices explicit through prompt, duration, resolution, prompt_optimizer, first_frame_image, image_url. Teams can lock source material, describe the intended result, choose supported output controls, and rerun the same request structure across variations. This makes experiments easier to compare and larger pipelines easier to operate without hiding important decisions inside an opaque preset.

Highlights

Source-Frame Identity Preservation. The minimax/hailuo/02/standard/image-to-video route is dedicated to source-frame identity preservation, keeping inputs and outputs matched to this operation.
Natural Subject And Camera Motion. Within minimax/hailuo/02/standard/image-to-video, documented prompt and media controls direct natural subject and camera motion while keeping the brief close to the result.
Coherent Short-Form Video. The minimax/hailuo/02/standard/image-to-video result provides coherent short-form video in a machine-consumable form for review and downstream production.
Route-specific control. For minimax/hailuo/02/standard/image-to-video, documented controls include prompt, duration, resolution, prompt_optimizer, first_frame_image, image_url, defining the supported variation space for this exact route.

Pricing

Configuration	Price
6 seconds	`$0.2700`
10 seconds	`$0.4500`
Base-price example	`$0.2700`
Rate	`$0.045 per second`

When to Use

Scenario	Why it fits
Choose this route	When the deliverable is specifically source-frame identity preservation, not a neighboring generation or editing task.
Production iteration	When creative teams need repeatable natural subject and camera motion with an explicit request payload.
Automated pipelines	When coherent short-form video must flow into review, storage, compositing, or publishing.
Controlled variations	When a stable brief should be rerun while changing only documented inputs.
Prototype to scale	When the same `minimax/hailuo/02/standard/image-to-video` contract should serve a single experiment and a larger batch later.

Prompt Guide

Lead with the subject or source, then state the transformation, important spatial or temporal details, style, and finish. Supply only documented fields, keep media URLs reachable, and vary one control at a time when comparing outputs.

{
  "prompt": "A directed creative request with subject, setting, style, motion, and finish.",
  "image": "https://example.com/reference.jpg"
}
