v1.6-standard/image-to-video

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

  • kling-video/v1.6/standard/image-to-video

Model Overview

An advanced AI video generation model developed by Kuaishou Technology, designed to create high-quality videos from text prompts and images. This version introduces significant improvements in prompt adherence, visual quality, and dynamic action rendering, enabling users to generate more consistent and visually appealing results compared to its predecessor, Kling 1.5.

How to Make a Call

Step-by-Step Instructions

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.

Below, you can find both corresponding API schemas.

API Schemas

Create a video generation task and send it to the server

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