Kling V2.6 — Kling's latest text-to-video and image-to-video at 1080p with audio.

Kuaishou (Kling AI) · From 40 credits / 5s on Dahab Studio.

Kling V2.6 is Kuaishou's latest non-omni Kling model — a focused text-to-video and image-to-video generator at 1080p (pro mode) with optional voice control. We route this directly to Kling's Singapore API at api-singapore.klingai.com, bypassing Replicate's wrapper for lower latency and better pricing.

Specs

  • Max duration: 10s
  • Resolution: 1080p (pro mode)
  • Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1
  • Native audio: Yes
  • Multi-reference: No
  • Pricing: 40 cr / 5s, 79 cr / 10s

Use cases

  • Image-to-video animation: Upload a still product or portrait, get a 5- or 10-second animated clip at 1080p with optional voice over.
  • Voice-driven character animation: In pro mode, reference a voice from Kling's voice library to drive the mouth shape of a person in the video.
  • Start + end frame control: Provide both a first frame and a last frame; Kling generates the in-between motion that connects them.
  • Cinematic 9:16 reels: Vertical 1080p video with audio for direct upload to Reels, Shorts, and TikTok.

Kling V2.6 vs alternatives

  • vs Kling V3 Omni: V2.6 is simpler to use when you only need text-to-video or image-to-video. Omni is the right pick when you need multi-reference (4 images + 1 video).
  • vs Pika: Direct API instead of Pika-hosted-only. Lower latency and predictable EGP pricing.
  • vs Runway Gen-3: Lower cost per second. Runway wins on motion smoothness in some abstract prompts.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Kling V2.6 and V3 Omni?
V2.6 is a single-image text-to-video / image-to-video model. V3 Omni is a multi-reference model accepting up to 4 images plus 1 reference video. Use V2.6 for simple animation; use Omni when consistency across multiple references matters.
Does Kling V2.6 support Arabic prompts?
Yes. The model handles Arabic prompts natively for visual generation. For Arabic spoken dialogue, use Dahab's Talking Head tool which combines Kling video with ElevenLabs Egyptian TTS.
Can I control camera movement?
Yes. Kling V2.6 supports motion control parameters (zoom, pan, tilt) when combined with a start image.
Does the model add audio?
In pro mode (1080p), yes — native audio is available with optional voice control. Standard mode (720p) is video-only.
How long can the video be?
5 or 10 seconds. For longer clips use Kling V3 Omni (up to 15s).
