v1-standard/image-to-video

This documentation is valid for the following list of our models:

kling-video/v1/standard/image-to-video

Try in Playground

A model transforms static images into dynamic video clips.

Setup your API Key

If you don’t have an API key for the AI/ML API yet, feel free to use our Quickstart guide.

API Schemas

Generating a video using this model involves sequentially calling two endpoints:

The first one is for creating and sending a video generation task to the server (returns a generation ID).
The second one is for requesting the generated video from the server using the generation ID received from the first endpoint.

Create a video generation task and send it to the server

The ratio and aspect_ratio parameters are deprecated. The aspect ratio of the generated video is solely determined by the aspect ratio of the input reference image.

Retrieve the generated video from the server

After sending a request for video generation, this task is added to the queue. Based on the service's load, the generation can be completed in seconds or take a bit more.

Full Example: Generating and Retrieving the Video From the Server

We have a classic reproduction of the famous da Vinci painting. Let's ask the model to generate a video where the Mona Lisa puts on glasses.

Generation may take around 5 minutes for a 5-second video.
