About this tool
Kling AI is the text-to-video and image-to-video platform from Chinese tech company Kuaishou, the operator of the short-video network Kuaishou. The Kling models, currently at version 2.x, can generate clips up to two minutes long at 1080p with strong physical realism, complex motion and accurate lip sync from uploaded audio. Standout tools include Image-to-Video with start and end frame control, Multi-Elements for compositing several reference images, Motion Brush to direct movement, Virtual Try-On for fashion and a Kolors image model that complements the video stack. Kling is offered on a web app with credit-based pricing and competes with Runway, Pika, Sora and Veo. It is widely used by social creators, marketers and AI artists, particularly outside the United States, and supports both English and Chinese prompts.
