How to run Wan 2.2 Animate without a GPU
How can I run Wan 2.2 Animate without a GPU or a local install?
Wan 2.2 Animate has open weights, so you can run it yourself, but you need the hardware: the official single-GPU commands for the 14B Wan 2.2 models call for an 80GB GPU. Without a GPU, the simplest route is a hosted version. In OTOY Studio, Wan 2.2 Animate runs in the browser from 17 credits (€0.17) per run, with nothing to install, on the same canvas as 100+ other image, video and 3D models.
Alibaba's character animation model: it animates a character image with the motion from a driving video (Move), or replaces the person in a video with your character (Replace). The related Wan 2.2 VACE Fun model follows a pose sequence.
Running it yourself
| Open weights | Wan2.2-Animate-14B (Wan-AI) and Wan2.2-VACE-Fun-A14B (Alibaba PAI) are both on Hugging Face. |
| License | Apache 2.0. Commercial use is allowed, and the Wan team claims no rights over generated content. |
| Hardware | The Wan 2.2 README does not give a single-GPU figure for Animate. Its single-GPU commands for the other 14B models need a GPU with at least 80GB of VRAM, with offloading flags to try when memory runs out. VACE Fun was tested on cards from a 12GB RTX 3060 to an 80GB A100, using CPU offload on the smaller cards, and needs about 60GB of free disk. |
| Operating system | NVIDIA GPU with CUDA. |
| ComfyUI | Yes. ComfyUI has a native Wan 2.2 Animate workflow. |

Run it yourself if: You have an 80GB-class GPU, run long batches, or want to add LoRAs and custom control nodes.
