AI Creation Glossary: Every Term You'll See on WowMade
A plain-English dictionary of the concepts behind creating with AI — from credits and prompts to text-to-video, Seedream 5.0, and AI music. Every entry links to the page where you can actually use it.
A
- #AI Music Generator
Generating a full, original music track — with vocals — from a text description of genre, mood, and subject.
Describe the song and WowMade composes an original track, lyrics and vocals included, for 3 credits. Each track gets AI-generated album art automatically and lands in My Creations ready to download.
- #Aspect Ratio
The width-to-height shape of your output — 16:9 for widescreen, 9:16 for vertical social formats, 1:1 for square, and more.
Pick the ratio to match where the result will live: 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts; 16:9 for YouTube and web; 1:1 for feeds. Both image and video generators support multiple ratios at no extra credit cost.
C
- #Character (Reusable)
A saved character with multiple reference views that keeps the same face, hair, and look across every image you generate.
Build a character once and WowMade stores identity views (face, front, and more) that are attached as references whenever you feature them — so the same character stays consistent across scenes. Mention them by name right inside your prompt on create image.
- #Commercial Use
Your right to use what you create — in ads, client work, social media, and monetized content — included with every plan and pack.
Commercial use is included across all plans and packs — no separate license tier. You're responsible for the inputs you provide (upload only content you have rights to); the details live in the Terms of Use.
- #Credit Pack
A one-time credit top-up for active subscribers — no renewal, and the credits never expire while your account is open.
When a busy week burns through your monthly credits, packs top you up without changing your plan. They're one-time purchases — nothing recurs — and stack on top of your existing balance.
- #Credits
The single currency for everything you create on WowMade — images, videos, and music each cost a set number of credits.
Every generation has a clear price: an AI image costs 1–3 credits, a 5-second AI video 10–20 credits depending on model and resolution, and a full music track 3 credits. Credits come with a monthly plan or a one-time credit pack, and they never expire while your account remains open. Full rates are disclosed on pricing.
G
- #Generation Queue
The live status tray showing everything currently rendering — up to 8 videos and 8 images can generate in parallel.
Kick off several generations and keep working: the queue pill in the header tracks progress, and finished results land in My Creations even if you close the tab. Failed generations are automatically refunded to your credit balance.
I
- #Image-to-Image (Reference Images)
Generating a new picture guided by images you upload — for edits, style transfers, and consistent characters across posts.
Upload one or more reference images you have the rights to use, add a prompt describing the change, and the model composes a new image that follows your references — edit a product shot, restyle a scene, or keep a character consistent.
- #Image-to-Video
Animating a still image into a moving clip — the model reads your picture and brings it to life following your prompt.
Start from a photo or a generated image you have the rights to use, describe the motion, and the model animates it — a portrait that turns to camera, a landscape where clouds drift, a product that rotates. Works with Seedance 2.0 and WAN 2.7 on create video.
M
- #Monthly Plan
A subscription that refills your credit balance every month — renews automatically at the displayed price until you cancel.
Plans start at $25/month for 75 credits and scale up for regular creators. Subscriptions renew automatically each month and can be cancelled online anytime; every charge is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee under the conditions in the Refund Policy. Full billing terms live on pricing details.
P
- #Prompt
The text description you give the AI — what to create, in what style, with what mood — that drives every generation.
A prompt can be one line (“a snow leopard at dawn”) or a detailed art direction with camera, lighting, and style notes. The same prompt drives images, videos, and music. On create image you can also describe an existing picture to turn it into a reusable prompt.
R
- #Resolution
The pixel detail of your output — 1K or 2K for images, 480p to 1080p for video — higher settings cost more credits.
Seedream 5.0 Pro images render at 1K (2 credits) or 2K (3 credits); video models range from 480p to 1080p with credit costs shown before you generate. Need more pixels after the fact? The upscaler boosts finished videos.
S
- #Seedance 2.0
WowMade's flagship AI video model family — Seedance 2.0 for maximum quality and Seedance 2.0 Mini for fast, affordable clips.
Seedance 2.0 renders cinematic text-to-video and image-to-video clips up to 1080p; the Mini tier trades some fidelity for speed and a lower credit cost. Both are included in every plan — models are never paywalled behind higher tiers.
- #Seedream 5.0
WowMade's flagship AI image model — Seedream 5.0 Pro for top quality at 1K and 2K, and Seedream 5.0 Lite for fast, cheap generations.
Seedream 5.0 Pro handles text-to-image and reference-guided edits with up to 14 reference images; Lite generates at 1 credit per image. Pro is also the model covered by the unlimited Seedream window on every plan.
- #Singing Video (Lip Sync)
Animating a photo you own into a video that sings or speaks — the AI matches mouth movement to the audio.
Combine a picture you have the rights to use with a voice or a generated music track, and the model animates the face in sync with the audio. Great for mascots, brand characters, and your own portraits — see the singing video generator.
T
- #Text-to-Image
Generating a finished picture from a written description — pick a model, aspect ratio, and resolution, and get images in seconds.
Write a prompt, choose a model like Seedream 5.0 or WAN 2.7, set the aspect ratio, and generate. Images cost 1–3 credits each and land in My Creations.
- #Text-to-Video
Generating a short cinematic video clip straight from a written description — no camera, no footage, no editing timeline.
Describe the shot and Seedance 2.0 or WAN 2.7 renders a 4–15 second clip in your chosen aspect ratio and resolution. A 5-second video costs 10–20 credits depending on model and quality.
U
- #Unlimited Seedream Window
A 3-day period at the start of each paid billing month when Seedream 5.0 Pro images cost 0 credits, with a fair-use limit of 90 images per day.
Every monthly plan includes it: for the first 72 hours of each paid billing month, Seedream 5.0 Pro generations are free, up to 90 images per day of the window. Beyond the daily limit — and for every other model — generations simply use credits at the normal rates. The window opens automatically each time your subscription renews; full terms are on pricing details.
V
- #Video Upscaler
An AI tool that increases the resolution and sharpness of an existing video — turn a fast draft render into a crisp final.
Generate quickly at a lower resolution, pick the best take, then upscale just that one — a cheaper workflow than rendering everything at maximum quality. Works on your generations and on videos you upload and have the rights to enhance. See the video upscaler.
W
- #WAN 2.7
An alternative AI model family that generates both images and video — a different visual character than Seedance and Seedream.
WAN 2.7 covers images and video with its own aesthetic — worth trying when you want a different look from the same prompt. Included in every plan alongside Seedance, Seedream, and Qwen Image.
