Core capabilities of the Kling O3 API

Next-generation video AI with four specialized modes

Text

Text-to-video generation

Generate videos purely from text descriptions. Kling O3 interprets natural language prompts to produce dynamic video content without requiring any visual input.

Image-to-video transformation

Transform static images into dynamic videos. Provide reference images and let Kling O3 animate them with natural motion and scene dynamics.

Reference

Reference video guidance

Use existing videos as references to guide new generation. This mode helps maintain visual consistency and style across multiple outputs.

Edit

AI video editing

Edit and transform existing footage with AI-powered tools. Apply style changes, scene adjustments, and creative transformations without manual editing.

Billing

Per-second billing

Pay only for what you generate with per-second billing. Videos range from 3 to 15 seconds, giving teams precise cost control for every project.

V3 Omni architecture
