Kling AI Models
Compare all the Kling AI models in one lineup and pick the right AI model for each video job before you spend a single credit.
How the Kling AI Models Lineup Is Organized
This hub gathers every Kling AI model on the site into one lineup, so you can compare the Kling AI models side by side before you spend a single credit. Rather than one engine, the Kling AI models are split into families — the Kling 4.0 series, the full Kling 3.0 series, a set of specialized editing and avatar AI models, and the established Kling 2.6 series. Each family groups AI models that share a generation, a resolution ceiling, and a price band, which makes choosing between the Kling AI models far easier than reading spec sheets one at a time.
All of these Kling AI models work the same way at the core: you describe a shot with a text prompt, a reference image, or both, and the AI model renders motion, timing, and — on most tiers — synchronized audio. What separates the AI models is resolution, generation speed, maximum clip length, and how much control you get over motion and edits. The newest Kling AI models, such as Kling 4.0, are designed for 4K and native audio; the more established AI models trade some of that for lower cost and faster turnaround. Read the families below to see which of the Kling AI models fits your project.

How to Choose Among the Kling AI Models
Choosing among the Kling AI models comes down to four questions. First, what resolution do you need? If the deliverable is a 4K master, the Kling 4.0 and Kling 3.0 AI models are designed to render native 4K without upscaling, and Kling O3 4K is built to hit the same 4K at higher volume. Second, how fast do you need it? Turbo-class AI models like Kling 3.0 Turbo are designed for quick drafts at lower cost, while the flagship AI models prioritize fidelity. Third, do you need to edit or transform existing footage rather than generate from scratch? Several Kling AI models — the Omni, Motion Control, and Edit families — are designed for that. Fourth, what is your budget per clip? The older Kling AI models generally cost fewer credits than the newest AI models.
A good rule of thumb: start with the AI model one tier below what you think you need, generate a short draft, and only move up to the premium Kling AI models once the composition is locked. Because most of these AI models preview cost before generating, you can test a prompt on a cheaper AI model and re-run the final on a flagship model. That keeps the Kling AI models workflow affordable while still delivering a polished master.
Which Kling AI Model for Which Job
Different jobs favor different Kling AI models. Use this quick map to jump straight to the AI model designed for your task, then open its page for the full spec.
- Cinematic 4K with audio
- Reach for the Kling 4.0 AI models — the flagship tier is designed for cinematic 4K with native audio and multi-shot sequencing across its Lite, Fast, Standard, Pro, and 4K options.
- Native 4K on a budget
- Kling 3.0 and Kling 3.0 4K are the workhorse AI models for native 3840×2160 output at 60fps with synced audio, rendered directly rather than upscaled.
- Fast, low-cost drafts
- Kling 3.0 Turbo is the speed-optimized AI model, designed for faster generation at lower cost with multi-shot sequencing and native audio at 720p and 1080p.
- Multimodal editing and character consistency
- Kling 3.0 Omni is the unified AI model that accepts text, image, and video input for reference-based generation, video editing, and consistent characters.
- Transfer motion onto a still image
- The Motion Control AI models — Kling 3.0 Motion Control and Kling 2.6 Motion Control — are designed to transfer movement from reference videos onto static images while preserving identity.
- High-volume 4K on a deadline
- Kling O3 4K renders native 4K at the same rate as Kling 3.0 but faster, so it is the AI model built for high-volume and deadline work.
- Edit a video with plain language
- Kling O1 Edit lets you describe changes in natural language while preserving camera paths, motion, and timing — the specialized editing AI model in the lineup.
- Talking portraits and avatars
- Kling Avatar V2 turns portraits into talking videos with audio-synced lip-sync at 1080p and 48fps, supporting photos, cartoons, and illustrations.
- Cinematic motion at 1080p
- Kling 2.6 delivers cinematic motion with native audio and lip-sync for text-to-video and image-to-video up to 10 seconds — a dependable everyday AI model.
Video and Image Jobs Across the Kling AI Models
Most of the Kling AI models on this page are video generators, but the lineup spans a few distinct output types. The text-to-video and image-to-video AI models — Kling 4.0, Kling 3.0, and Kling 2.6 — turn a prompt or a still into moving footage. The editing AI models, Kling O1 Edit and Kling 3.0 Omni, revise footage you already have. The avatar AI models animate a face, and the motion-control AI models retarget movement. Knowing which output family a Kling AI model belongs to is the fastest way to shortlist the right AI models for a brief.
Resolution scales with the tier across the Kling AI models: the 4.0 and 3.0 AI models are designed for native 4K, while the 2.6 AI models and the avatar tier target 1080p. Clip length also varies — Kling 3.0 supports up to 15 seconds and Kling 2.6 up to 10 — so factor duration into which of the Kling AI models you pick. Because pricing rises with resolution and length, matching the job to the leanest capable AI model keeps the Kling AI models economical over a full project.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Kling AI Models
How many Kling AI models are there?
This hub lists the current Kling AI models across four families — the Kling 4.0 series, the Kling 3.0 series (including 4K, Turbo, Omni, Motion Control, and O3 4K), the specialized Edit and Avatar AI models, and the Kling 2.6 series. New AI models are added to the lineup as they ship.
Which Kling AI model is best for beginners?
If you are new to the Kling AI models, start with Kling 2.6 or a Turbo tier — these AI models generate quickly and cost fewer credits, so you can learn prompting before moving up to the flagship AI models.
Do all the Kling AI models support audio?
Most of the current Kling AI models generate native audio, and several add lip-sync. Turbo and older tiers may cap resolution, so check each model's page — the Kling AI models differ tier by tier on audio, resolution, and clip length.
Can the Kling AI models edit existing video?
Yes. Several Kling AI models are designed for editing rather than pure generation: Kling O1 Edit revises footage from a natural-language description, and Kling 3.0 Omni handles reference-based editing and character consistency. For motion retargeting, the Motion Control AI models transfer movement onto a still image.
How do I choose between the Kling AI models without wasting credits?
Preview cost before generating, draft on a cheaper tier, and only re-run the final on a premium tier. Because the Kling AI models share a prompt format, a shot you compose on one AI model transfers cleanly to another, so you can test broadly across the AI models and finish on a flagship.
