Correction, 2026-09-30: the first version missed Creatify Boreal, which also delivers 2K when you choose it and is the second-cheapest 1080p on the canvas. Added below.
On 8frame, the highest resolution any video model delivers is 2K, from Hailuo H3 and, when you choose it, Creatify Boreal. Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast deliver 1080p, Veo 3.1 Lite 720p. Wan 3.0 and Happy Horse let you choose, and both default to 1080p, their most expensive setting. Seedance tops out at 720p. Nothing on the canvas outputs 4K, and there is no video upscaler, so the resolution you generate at is the resolution you deliver. These are the settings 8frame sends to each provider, read from our own configuration.
TL;DR
- 2K: Hailuo H3 (fixed) and Creatify Boreal (720p, 1080p or 2K, default 720p).
- 1080p: Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast (fixed), Wan 2.5, and, when you choose it, Wan 3.0, Happy Horse, Pruna p-video, Creatify Boreal and Hailuo H3 Max Turbo.
- 720p: Veo 3.1 Lite (fixed), Wan 2.2, Runway Gen-4 Turbo, and the top setting of Seedance 2.5 and 2.0.
- Two defaults cost more than people expect: Wan 3.0 and Happy Horse default to 1080p.
- No 4K on 8frame, and no video upscaler. Pick resolution before you generate.
Every model, one table
| Model | Resolution on 8frame | Can you choose? |
|---|---|---|
| Hailuo H3 | 2K | No |
| Creatify Boreal | 720p, 1080p or 2K (default 720p) | Yes |
| Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast | 1080p | No |
| Veo 3.1 Lite | 720p | No |

| Wan 2.5 | 1080p | No |
| Wan 2.2 | 720p | No |
| Pruna p-video, p-video Draft | 720p or 1080p | Yes |
| Happy Horse | 720p or 1080p (default 1080p) | Yes |
| Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0 | 480p or 720p (default 720p) | Yes |
| Grok Imagine | 480p or 720p | Yes |

| Kling, Gemini Omni Flash | set by the model | No setting on 8frame |
Hailuo H3's Max modes add their own choices: Turbo and Camera Controls offer 480p, 768p and 1080p, and Lip Sync goes up to 2K.
For the models without a setting, we measured the files they return to 8frame (2026-09-30): Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro and Kling 2.6 Pro come back at 1080p, Kling v3 Standard and Kling O3 at 720p, and Gemini Omni Flash at 720p. File sizes per model are in AI video file size by model.
What each resolution costs
Where a model is priced by resolution, the price roughly doubles per step. Credits on 8frame, a credit being about $0.01 at pack rate:
| Model | Clip | 480p | 720p | 1080p | 2K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hailuo H3 Max Turbo | 5 s | 17 | 27 (768p) | 54 | |
| Pruna p-video | 5 s | 14 | 27 | ||
| Wan 3.0 | 5 s | 24 | 48 | 95 | |
| Wan 3.0 Prime | 5 s | 46 | 95 | 189 | |
| Seedance 2.5 | 5 s | 70 | 157 | ||
| Happy Horse | 5 s | 95 | 189 | ||
| Veo 3.1 Lite | 8 s with audio | 54 | |||
| Veo 3.1 | 8 s with audio | 448 | |||
| Hailuo H3 | 5 s | 88 | |||
| Creatify Boreal, with sound | 5 s | 7 | 21 | 81 |
Three things stand out. Two models reach the highest resolution on the canvas, 2K: Hailuo H3 at 88 credits for 5 seconds, less than Wan 3.0 at 1080p, and Creatify Boreal at 81. The cheapest 1080p is Pruna p-video Draft at 7 for 5 seconds, then Creatify Boreal at 21 with sound; among established models, Kling 2.6 Pro silent (47) and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro (48) come back at 1080p, then Hailuo H3 Max Turbo at 54 (corrected 2026-09-30; this line first named H3 Max Turbo as the cheapest). And Seedance's 720p costs more than twice its 480p, so draft Seedance at 480p and only finish at 720p. (Pruna p-video, Creatify Boreal and H3 Max Turbo are new to 8frame: we quote their prices, not their quality.)
The defaults that cost you
Wan 3.0 and Happy Horse default to 1080p. Submit a Wan 3.0 clip without touching the setting and it costs 95 credits for 5 seconds instead of 24 at 480p. For drafts, set 480p (Wan) or 720p (Happy Horse) before you generate.
Seedance defaults to 720p, its top setting. Same advice: draft at 480p.
Which resolution to generate at
- Drafts and blocking: the lowest setting the model offers. You are checking motion and composition, not detail.
- Social and web delivery: 720p to 1080p. Platforms recompress uploads anyway; see do you need 4K.
- Anything that will be cropped, reframed or shown large: the highest resolution you can get, which on 8frame means Hailuo H3 or Creatify Boreal at 2K, or a 1080p model.
Resolution is only one of the limits worth knowing per model; clip length is in clip length limits by model and upload rules in upload limits by model.
FAQ
Which AI video model has the highest resolution? On 8frame, 2K: Hailuo H3 at 88 credits per 5-second clip, and Creatify Boreal at 81 when you choose 2K. Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast deliver 1080p.
What resolution is Veo 3.1 on 8frame? 1080p for Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast, 720p for Veo 3.1 Lite. 8frame does not offer Veo's 4K tier.
Does Seedance output 1080p? Not on 8frame: Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 offer 480p or 720p.
Can 8frame generate 4K video? No. The highest output is 2K, from Hailuo H3 and Creatify Boreal, and there is no video upscaler on the canvas.
Why did my Wan 3.0 clip cost 95 credits? Wan 3.0 defaults to 1080p. Set 480p for 24 credits or 720p for 48.
