Wan 2.2 (image to video) vs Kling 2.5 — Image to Video

Both animate a still image, and the split is speed against control. Kling 2.5 is faster and handles broad cinematic motion well. Wan 2.2 is slower — around two minutes for five seconds — but is an open model that stays closer to the frame you supply, which matters when the source image is the point.

Use Wan when the still is something you made deliberately and the video must not reinterpret it. Use Kling when you want motion that feels directed and you are willing to let the model take more liberties with the scene. Wan is also restricted to 5 or 8 second clips, while Kling takes 5 or 10.
