Who it's for

Individual creators and marketing/creative teams who need AI-generated video, image, avatar, or voice content, plus developers and enterprises who integrate generation capabilities via a separate API.

What you get

Text-to-video, image-to-video, AI avatar generation (reference image plus audio produces a lip-synced video), a dedicated video Lip Sync/dubbing tool, text-to-speech synthesis, and native 4K output on paid plans, accessible from the web/desktop/mobile app or the pay-per-use Kling developer API.

How it works

Users submit prompts, images, or audio through the app or call the Kling API to create an asynchronous generation task, then poll the task by ID (status: submitted/processing/succeed/failed) until the resulting video, image, or audio file is ready to download.
