What it's good for

Try it with one of these

Press “Try this” and chatmodel opens with Kling 2.6 selected and the message already written. Change any word you like.

Fireworks over a harbour

“Fireworks burst over a harbour at night, reflecting in the dark water. Boats rock gently and a crowd on the pier looks up. Wide shot, still camera. Sound of fireworks and cheering.”

A train pulls in

“An old green train pulls slowly into a small country station on a misty morning. Steam drifts along the platform and a man lifts his hat. Camera on the platform. Sound of brakes and a whistle.”

Lunch on a sunny terrace

“A sunny terrace with a table set for lunch. A waiter places a bowl of pasta, a glass of wine catches the light and a sparrow hops onto the next chair. Slow sideways camera. Sound of cups and chatter.”

In plain words

Kling 2.6 makes a clip from a written description: 5 or 10 seconds, with sound, up to 1080p.

Think of it as the middle of the Kling range. It’s a newer version than Kling 2.5 Turbo, and Kling V3.0 sits above it with more lengths and sharper clips.

How to get the most out of it

  1. Write three things: the place, what moves, what you hear.
  2. Use the 10 seconds for one action that takes time, like a train arriving, not three separate events.
  3. Name the light. “Misty morning”, “golden evening”, “harbour at night” set the mood.
  4. Say where the camera is, for example “on the platform” or “at table height”.

How it compares with its siblings

Kling 2.5 Turbo is lighter and quicker, with the same lengths. Kling V3.0 is a more capable text model, from 3 to 15 seconds and up to 4K. For photos there is Kling V3.0 I2V. To copy movement from a video, see Kling 2.6 Motion, from the same generation.

When to pick another model

To start from your own photo, try Kling V3.0 I2V or Wan V2.6 I2V. For clips longer than 10 seconds from text, see Wan V2.6 or Seedance 2.0.
