Kling 3.0 API FAQ

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

The Kling 3.0 API provides access to Kling's 3.0 video model through EvoLink. It supports two modes: text-to-video and image-to-video. Each mode generates 3-15 second videos with per-second billing. Use your EvoLink dashboard for current pricing and availability.

Kling 3.0 offers two modes: text-to-video for generating from prompts, and image-to-video for animating images. Each mode is optimized for different production workflows.

Kling 3.0 generates videos between 3 and 15 seconds. Billing is per-second within this range. Videos shorter than 3 seconds are billed at the 3-second minimum. This range is suitable for social media clips, ads, and short-form content.

Kling 3.0 uses per-second billing at 5.4 credits per second base rate. The price varies by quality and sound: 720p+off = 1.0x, 720p+on = 1.5x, 1080p+off = 1.333x, 1080p+on = 2.0x. Check your EvoLink dashboard for your group's specific pricing.

Kling O3 (V3 Omni) supports four modes including reference-to-video and video editing, while Kling 3.0 focuses on text-to-video and image-to-video. 3.0 has slightly different pricing factors compared to O3.

Start with a clear subject and describe the action, mood, and setting in simple terms. For image-to-video, provide high-quality reference images. Consistency improves when your prompt structure stays stable across runs.

Limits, pricing, and available modes are determined by your provider and region. Use your EvoLink dashboard and API responses as the source of truth. Check the API documentation for the most current constraints and parameters.
