About Kling AI
Kling AI has 22 million users and 168 million videos generated. The thing that matters: 3-minute clips. Most AI video tools cap out at 10-35 seconds. Kling goes to 3 minutes. The latest models (O1 and Video 2.6) generate audio alongside video. Motion brush gives you control over what moves and how. Camera presets handle pans, zooms, and orbits. Characters stay consistent across shots with up to 7 reference images. Lip-sync works for talking-head content. The free tier gives you daily credits at 720p (watermarked) — enough to test properly before paying. Standard plan is $6.99/mo.
