| Item | Value | Source/Date |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Step | What happens | Editorial team, Aug 16, 2026 |
| Account and credit | Sign-up, then a $1 trial credit for eligible accounts without a card; top-ups by card or PayPal. | Editorial team, Aug 16, 2026 |
| Model choice | Catalog of image and video models; the clothes-changer costs $0.12 per run (about 83 runs per $10). | Editorial team, Aug 16, 2026 |
| Parameters | Each model exposes its own fields; defaults produced inconsistent garment boundaries, so two or three passes were needed. | Editorial team, Aug 16, 2026 |
| Run and retrieve | Web console for manual runs; API with webhooks for automated retrieval. Uptime stable. | Editorial team, Aug 16, 2026 |
| Scope | United States, en-US | Aug 16, 2026 |
| Role of this site | Publisher/review, does not operate the service | Editorial policy |

## What does a Wavespeed session look like?

There is no upload-and-wait screen. The console lists image, video and language models side by side; you open a model page, fill in its parameters, run it, and collect the output from the run history or through a webhook. A result that needs three passes costs $0.36, not $0.12, which is why the Wavespeed review scored output quality 8.3/10.

## Which models sit behind the clothes-changer?

A dedicated app hides one model behind presets. Wavespeed exposes the catalog: image models, image-to-image editors and video generators, each with its own price and parameters. The clothes-changer is one entry among them, which is why the platform sits in our apps that remove clothing from photos overview yet behaves differently. All of these tools rely on inpainting — the

model repaints a masked region to match the rest of the image; our inpainting explainer covers the mechanics. The Wan and FLUX pages describe the kind of open video and image models such platforms typically expose. Which checkpoints Wavespeed runs at any moment is listed only in its live catalog.

## What are the practical limits?

Learning curve. Built for developers; documentation in English assumes you know what a seed, a step count or a guidance value does. Tuning passes. Two or three parameter passes per usable result in the Aug 16 session, each billed as a run. Credits. Never expire, but non-refundable; tiers Bronze, Silver, Gold and Ultra unlock by cumulative top-up. Support. Documentation and a
