Kling AI Family
Kling AI is a family of video generation models built by Kuaishou. Use this hub to compare Kling 3.0, Kling O1, Kling O3, and Motion Control, then jump to the right pricing guide, API tutorial, or model page on EvoLink.
Standard generation
Kling 3.0 covers text-to-video and image-to-video in a straightforward setup for teams that need reliable clip generation without advanced editing.
Unified creation and editing
Kling O1 brings generation and editing into one engine with consistent characters and scenes across outputs.
Advanced multimodal control
Kling O3 (V3 Omni) adds reference-to-video and video editing on top of standard modes for richer production workflows.
Motion transfer
Kling 3.0 Motion Control transfers motion from a reference video to a character image for animation-style outputs.
