Kling AI Video Generator and Image Models: Every Version
Kling AI is Kuaishou's family of video and image models, covering multi-shot clips, video built from reference images and stills that can become a first frame.
On Zero Kit the Kling family has a page each for Kling 4.0, for Kling 3.0, which also covers Kling 3.0 Turbo, for Kling 3.0 Omni, for Kling O1 and for Kling Image.
The video versions cover Kling AI text to video and image to video: they turn a prompt or an uploaded image into a clip of up to 30 seconds, depending on the version.
The image versions work from a prompt, reference photos or both.
Kling 4.0 makes longer clips than the 3.0 versions, with sound in every clip. It is also the version that follows a row of keyframes and several reference videos in one generation.
Kling 3.0 is the video model for clips from text or a first frame. Kling says it improves subject consistency and supports multi-shot storytelling: one prompt describes several shots in order, each with its own length, and the lengths add up to the length of the clip.
On Zero Kit it can start from a first frame, or from a first and a last frame. Together with 3.0 Omni it has the highest video resolution in the family.
Kling 3.0 Turbo shares its page. Kling describes Turbo as consistent quality at better value.
Turbo clips come with audio on Zero Kit, while Kling 3.0 clips are silent here even though Kling lists native audio for the model.
Kling 3.0 Omni is the all-in-one version. Kling describes it as taking multimodal input in a single request.
On Zero Kit that means several reference images for a character, a scene and a style in one clip, one reference video, or a first frame with an optional last frame.
It supports multi-shot prompts as well, and like Kling 3.0 its clips are silent on Zero Kit.
Kling O1 is what Kling calls its unified video model, built for consistency across multimodal instructions. It takes several reference images, one reference video, or a first frame with an optional last frame, offers two fixed clip lengths and produces no sound.
For pictures, Kling Image puts its versions on one page:
- Kling Image 3.0 works from a prompt or a single photo.
- Kling Image 3.0 Omni takes many references and renders at the highest resolution in the image line.
- Kling Image O1 is tuned for consistent subjects, precise edits and style transfer.
A still made there can become the first frame of a Kling video.
Every version runs from the same editor on Zero Kit and is included in Plus and above. Video costs credits per second of the clip, and images cost credits per image.
The table below compares resolution, clip length, references, starting price and plan from the live model list. Each version has its own page with sample prompts and a full price table.

Which Kling version should you use?
For long scenes, keyframes and reference videos: Kling 4.0
Choose Kling 4.0 when one clip has to hold a whole scene: it runs up to 30 seconds and every clip comes with sound.
It is also the version for a row of keyframes in story order, or for several reference videos that set the motion and camera work.
For top resolution or several shots in one prompt: Kling 3.0 or Kling 3.0 Turbo
Both live on the Kling 3.0 page.
Pick Kling 3.0 when the clip needs the top resolution, a last frame you supply or several shots in one prompt. Its clips are silent on Zero Kit.
Pick Turbo when a short clip needs sound and starts from a prompt or a single first frame.
Silent Kling 3.0 clips can cost less per second than Turbo, so compare the two rates on its page.
For references at top resolution, and still images: Kling 3.0 Omni, Kling O1 and Kling Image
Choose Kling 3.0 Omni to combine reference images of a character, a place and a style in one clip, at up to the top resolution and with multi-shot prompts.
Kling O1 takes references too and puts consistency first. It offers two fixed clip lengths and no sound.
Go to Kling Image for pictures:
- Kling Image 3.0 for a prompt or a single-photo restyle.
- Kling Image O1 to blend several references, or to change one detail while keeping the rest.
- Kling Image 3.0 Omni when the image needs the highest resolution.

Kling FAQ
Partly. Kling's own app has a free Basic plan: you sign in and claim free credits each month, while watermark removal, 4K and commercial use come with its paid subscriptions.
On Zero Kit, Kling 4.0 can be used on the free plan, and the other versions need Plus or above. New accounts get 10 free credits.
On Zero Kit, Kling starts from 6 credits per image or per second of video, paid from your Zero Kit plan with no separate Kling subscription. On its own site, Kling sells monthly and yearly subscriptions, each with a set number of credits.
Kling video is charged per second of the clip and Kling Image per picture, at the rate of the version and resolution you pick.
The table on this page shows the starting price of each version, and each version's page lists every resolution from the live price list.
You upload an image as the first frame and describe the motion. Every Kling video version on Zero Kit can start this way, and Kling 4.0, 3.0, 3.0 Omni and O1 also accept a last frame.
Kling 4.0 can also follow a row of keyframes in story order. With an image as the first frame, the clip keeps that image's aspect ratio. To compare other models on the same photo, try image to video AI.
Use Kling's own app at kling.ai, or a platform that runs Kling for you; neither needs code. On Zero Kit:
- Create an account and open the editor; Kling is included in Plus and above.
- Pick a Kling version with the model button.
- Write a prompt or upload an image, then generate in your browser.
No Chinese phone number is needed.
Two close alternatives are Seedance 2.0 from ByteDance and Google's Veo 3.1. Kling's own strengths are long takes with sound, keyframe control, top-resolution output, multi-shot prompts and a wide range of versions.
Seedance 2.0 is built for motion that is hard to fake and plans the shot from camera directions written in plain language. Veo 3.1 generates dialogue and sound effects with the picture.
Kling is made by Kling AI, part of the Kuaishou group, and its official site is kling.ai.
Security researchers have reported fake Kling sites and ads, so sign up only on the official site or on a platform that says who runs it.
Zero Kit is operated by Zero Agentic LLC and does not use your prompts, uploads or results to train AI models.
Yes, on a paid plan. Images and videos made on a paid plan can be used commercially, including product pages, ads and social posts, subject to our Terms. Output from the free plan is for personal, non-commercial use only.
No. We do not use your prompts, uploads or results to train AI models. To run a generation, the prompt and any reference files are sent to the provider of the model you picked, which processes that request under its own terms.
