Kling AI Model Catalog

Overview

Kling AI offers multiple model versions across video generation, image generation, lip sync, virtual try-on, and effects. Each version trades off quality, speed, and cost. This skill is the reference for choosing the right model.

Video Generation Models

Model ID	Supports	Max Duration	Resolution	Speed	Quality
kling-v1	T2V, I2V	10s	720p	Fast	Good
kling-v1-5	I2V only	10s	1080p	Fast	Better
kling-v1-6	T2V, I2V	10s	1080p	Medium	Better+
kling-v2-master	T2V, I2V	10s	1080p	Medium	High
kling-v2-1	I2V only	10s	1080p	Medium	High
kling-v2-1-master	T2V, I2V	10s	1080p	Medium	High
kling-v2-5-turbo	T2V, I2V	10s	1080p 30fps	Fast	High
kling-v2-6	T2V, I2V	10s	1080p 30-48fps	Medium	Highest

T2V = text-to-video, I2V = image-to-video

Kling v2.5 Turbo (Recommended for Speed)

• 40% faster than v2.0
• Up to 1080p at 30 FPS
• Best cost/quality ratio for production pipelines

Kling v2.6 (Recommended for Quality)

• Native audio generation (voice, SFX, ambient in one pass)
• 1080p at 30-48 FPS
• Set motion_has_audio: true for synchronized audio

Image Generation Models (Kolors)

Model ID	Purpose	Resolution
kolors-v1-5	Face/subject reference	Up to 2048x2048
kolors-v2-0	Image restyle	Up to 2048x2048
kolors-v2-1	Text-to-image	Up to 2048x2048

Specialty Models

Mode	Credits (5s)	Credits (10s)	Use Case
standard	10	20	Drafts, previews, iteration
professional	35	70	Final output, client delivery

Model Selection Decision Tree

Need fastest generation?
  → kling-v2-5-turbo + standard mode

Need highest quality?
  → kling-v2-6 + professional mode

Need audio in the video?
  → kling-v2-6 with motion_has_audio: true

Image-to-video only?
  → kling-v2-1 (optimized for I2V)

Budget-conscious production?
  → kling-v2-5-turbo + standard mode (10 credits/5s)

Legacy compatibility?
  → kling-v1-6 (stable, well-documented)
