kling-v2-6 is Kuaishou Kling's V2.6 video model, suitable for turning text concepts or static images into short videos. Its value lies in the pro mode, which provides both first and last frame control and synchronized audio, making it suitable for product showcases, atmospheric clips, and story shots; it can also be used in talking photo workflows to create lip-sync videos by combining portrait photos with existing audio.
Submit requests to the public API at api.acedata.cloud using the documented parameters, then use the results in your application.
Input parameters and result formats vary by service. Use the public API for this model and follow its guide for generation, task retrieval and editing operations.
Clarify capacity, inputs and outputs, and invocation methods before selecting a model.
The above are this platform's V2.6 invocation specifications. Photo lip-sync is a separate workflow and is not the same as synchronized audio during video generation.
Learn what kling-v2-6 can bring to your work.
V2.6's pro mode supports enabling accompanying audio while generating videos, making it suitable for short-form creations that need both visuals and sound. Prompts can be organized around the subject, action, and scene, then audio can be enabled through generate_audio; when only visual assets are needed, keep it off for easier dubbing and editing later.
Image-to-video can begin from a specified first frame, and pro mode can also add a final frame to set clear opening and ending visuals for a clip. It is suitable for projects with existing product images, character images, or storyboards, allowing creation to develop around a selected composition; first and last frames constrain the visual boundaries rather than providing frame-by-frame editing of every intermediate frame.
The talking photo workflow accepts a portrait image and existing audio, first animates the photo, then lip-syncs it to the audio, delivering the final video in a single submission. Use the prompt to describe actions and expressions during the animation stage, and explicitly select kling-v2-6; this workflow is suited to tasks with existing recordings rather than synthesizing speech directly from text.
Start with specific tasks to find where the model can be effective.
Enter a product hero image and a description of the display action to create short videos suitable for landscape, portrait, or square publishing. If the ending visual has already been designed, use pro to add a final frame so the product showcase lands on the intended composition; the delivered video link can enter the editing workflow, where brand text, subtitles, and a complete marketing arrangement can be added.
Start with descriptions of the scene, character actions, and events, use text-to-video to create short shots, and enable synchronized accompanying audio in pro mode. This is suitable for first validating a story segment or sound-enabled atmosphere concept before deciding whether to move into formal editing; organizing the task as a clear single clip is easier to review than cramming an entire long-form script into one generation.
Prepare a clear front-facing photo of one person along with a recording that matches the target video length, then submit them through the talking photo entry point. The output includes the final lip-synced video, and you can also obtain the video link for the photo animation stage, making it easier to separately review character motion and lip-sync quality. It is suitable for character introductions, brief explanations, and talking-head samples.
Choose based on task complexity, input materials, and expected results.
If you need first and last frames, the pro modes of both can be considered; if you want to obtain audio at the same time as generation, V2.6 pro better meets the task requirements, as V2.5 Turbo does not provide this feature. For clips that do not require sound or a last frame, start with V2.6 std; choose pro when sound or a specific ending shot is needed, rather than judging solely by the version name.
V2.6 is suitable for fixed short durations, text- or first-frame-driven generation, and audio creation in pro mode. If the task requires integer durations of 3–15 seconds, native 4K mode, or dedicated camera movement controls, consider the corresponding V3 capabilities; if you need to combine multiple reference images, reference videos, or directly edit existing videos, choose O1 or V3 Omni rather than applying these capabilities to V2.6.

Answers to common questions about using kling-v2-6.
If you are only creating clips without synchronized audio and do not need to specify an end frame, you can choose std. If you need synchronized audio or start-and-end frame control, use pro. Both modes support 5-second or 10-second videos; these pro features must be enabled explicitly and are not all automatically turned on simply by selecting the mode.
In the /kling/videos request, explicitly set model to kling-v2-6, mode to pro, and generate_audio to true. This switch is disabled by default. Synchronized audio and submitting pre-recorded audio for photo lip-sync are two different methods; choose based on whether you already have a recording.
You cannot use an end frame alone as input for this image-to-video workflow. Use action=image2video, provide start_image_url, and add end_image_url as needed in pro mode. If you only have one image, use it as the start frame and describe the desired action in the prompt.
Submit image_url and audio_url to /kling/talking-photo, explicitly specify model=kling-v2-6, and choose 5 seconds or 10 seconds. The prompt can describe the movements and expressions during the photo animation stage. The final video_url is the lip-synced video, while source_video_url is the intermediate photo animation video.
You can set async=true, save the returned task_id, and then retrieve the status and results through task queries; you can also configure callback_url to receive completion notifications. After obtaining video_url, download it or proceed to the editing workflow. Both generation endpoints should explicitly specify kling-v2-6 to avoid using other default models.
