New · Kling AI · Kling 4.0 Flash

Kling 4.0 Flash makes more takes for less.

The quick tier of Kling 4.0: one take of up to 20 seconds at 720p, with sound, from a prompt, a first frame or reference images and videos. Kling built it for frequent creation, with faster generation at 60% of the Kling 4.0 rate.

What it does

Kling 4.0, built for volume.

The same three ways in as Kling 4.0, shorter and at one resolution: describe the scene, start from a first frame, or hand it the faces, products, places and moves to keep. Kling sets it apart for rapid iteration and short-form video.

3–20 s

One take, in whole seconds. The length is what you pay for.

720p

The one resolution, in 8-bit SDR. Sound is generated with the picture.

15 inputs

Up to ten images, five reference videos and seven elements in one Omni job.

21:9

Ultrawide, beside 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1, from the same model.

Text to video

Write the whole scene.

Characters, setting, camera and the order of events in one prompt. Choose 21:9, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.

First frame

Start from a still.

One image opens the video and the prompt says what happens next. The image sets the shape.

Omni

References, edits, elements.

Reference images for characters and products, reference videos for motion and camera, one video to edit, and elements: up to fifteen inputs to keep a scene consistent.

Demos

Examples. Turn the sound on.

Kling's own Kling 4.0 Flash examples, with the reference images they were made from.

From reference images

The people and the place come from the images; the shots, the motion and the sound come from the model.

Reference image: a manReference image: a womanReference image: green cliffs above a gorge3 reference images
Two characters, one place 15s

The meeting

Two portraits and a landscape become one scene: the pair meet on the cliff top, and the cut moves from the wide shot to each face and back, with both people kept as they were in the images.

Reference image: a high kick in a dojo1 reference image
Action 5s

The dojo

One still of a high kick turns into a fast exchange of strikes, in the same room and the same light.

Flash or Kling 4.0

Draft on Flash, finish on Kling 4.0.

Where it fits

When you need many takes, not one long one.

Twenty seconds covers most social spots, ad variants and story beats.

Drafts

Try ten versions.

Iterate on the idea at the Flash rate, then render the keeper on Kling 4.0 at 1080p.

Social

Short-form at volume.

9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 clips up to 20 seconds, with sound, from the same prompt and the same key.

Ads

Variants of one spot.

Reference images keep the product and the people steady while the scene around them changes.

Stills

Animate what you have.

A product shot, a key visual or a frame from a storyboard, used as the first frame.

Price

Billed per second you ask for.

You set the length, so the price is known before the job starts. Aspect ratio and the way in (text, a first frame or images) do not change it. Input videos on Omni change how many seconds are counted.

720pNo input videoWith input video
Per billed second$0.0942$0.0628
10 seconds out$0.94$1.26
20 seconds out$1.88$2.51

With input videos on Omni, a reference or a video to edit: when they are no longer than the output, twice the output length is billed; when they are longer, the input plus the output. The rows above assume input no longer than the output.

Kling's own list price: 0.6 units a second, 0.4 with input video, at $0.157 a unit, read from Kling's API pricing on 4 November 2026. If Kling changes it, the price here follows.
