All Kling AI Models, Documented Version by Version
Every model in the Kling API line on one page — Kling Video 3.0, 3.0 Omni, O1, 2.6, 2.5 Turbo, 2.1 and 2.0. Durations, resolutions, aspect ratios, native audio and motion control, with a page of detail behind each card.
Where the numbers come from
Every duration, resolution and ratio below is drawn from publicly documented limits, not from marketing pages or our own testing. Providers change ceilings quietly, so confirm before you build against one.
Newest first, not best first
The cards run in release order. A newer release is not automatically the right pick — a fast 2.x version beats a flagship when you are still deciding what the shot even is.
What we are not
This is an independent reference. We do not resell access, we run no weights from this model family, and nothing on the page is a price list or an availability guarantee.
Pick a Kling Model
Newest first. Each card carries the headline specs; the model page behind it carries the prompt templates, limits and generation examples.
Kling Video 3.0
The smart-storyboard release — one prompt comes back as a directed multi-shot cut.
- Smart storyboard plans the shots
- 15s in a single generation
- Legible native text in frame
Kling Video 3.0 Omni
Consistency-first flagship: subjects, garments and voices survive a change of shot.
- Omnipotent Reference 3.0
- Video character subjects from a clip
- Custom per-shot storyboards
Kling O1
The first unified multimodal model in the line — strongest at composing several references.
- Video reference input
- Multi-reference composition
- Pro mode for detail retention
Kling 2.6
The version that made native audio ordinary — voice, effects and ambience in one pass.
- Voice, SFX and ambience together
- Motion and camera-path control
- Audio-driven lip sync
Kling 2.5 Turbo
The throughput option — built for iterating on a shot list, not polishing one hero clip.
- Fastest turnaround in the line
- High throughput for batches
- Text and image to video
Kling 2.1
The dependable middle of the line — better prompt reading than 2.0, no audio surprises.
- Enhanced semantic understanding
- Standard and professional modes
- Predictable motion behaviour
Kling 2.0
The baseline the rest of the Kling API line is measured against — still fine for simple shots.
- Text and image to video
- Lowest-complexity generations
- Widest historical availability

Which Kling Model Should You Use?
Five situations that come up constantly, and the version of the model line that answers each one.
Several beats inside one clip — a setup, a turn and a payoff — without hand-specifying every camera position yourself.
A recurring presenter, a product held by the same hands, or a character who must be recognisable across a sequence of generations.
Dialogue, a voiceover, sound effects or ambience that lines up with the picture, without a separate audio pass afterwards.
Twenty variations of a concept where turnaround matters more than the last ten percent of fidelity.
A garment, a location plate and a product shot that all have to end up in one coherent frame.

Our own image model renders the still — a genuine render, not a stock lookup, in your chosen ratio.
Walk the animation step
See the storyboard, render and encode stages a video generation job moves through, as a guided preview.
Seven Models, One Workflow
Whichever Kling version you land on, the Kling API workflow is the same: prompt, key frame, motion. Start it here and finish it in a full video render.
