Kuaishou released the first Kling model in June 2024 and has iterated through Kling 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.5 and the O1 unified model, according to the release notes. Kling 3.0, announced Feb 5, 2026, added native multi-shot generation of up to 15 seconds and synchronized audio. Kling 3.0 Omni is the multimodal variant that accepts mixed text, image and video inputs and covers image generation as well. Both are served only through Kuaishou's platform and licensed API resellers; no weights, papers with checkpoints or local inference paths exist. “Content containing sexually explicit material, promoting sexual services, or containing sexual language or implications.” — Kling AI Community Policy, prohibited content 2.7 , accessed Sep 3, 2026 ## Does Kling allow NSFW output? No. The Kling AI Community Policy, effective Dec 12, 2024, lists sexually explicit material, sexual services and sexual language or implications among prohibited content, alongside violence, hate and impersonation. Prompts and outputs are moderated on the server, and accounts can be restricted. Because Kling is closed and moderated, it cannot be used to produce intimate imagery of a real person the way an unfiltered open checkpoint can. That makes it a useful reference point when a reviewed tool claims a Kling backbone for explicit output: such a claim is inconsistent with the published policy. ## How is Kling used in tools we review? No tool in our rankings names Kling publicly, and given the policy above we would treat any such claim for explicit content with suspicion. Kling's relevance to readers is comparative: it shows what a mainstream, consent-aware video platform prohibits, which frames what the tools we rate do differently. For the video tools we did test, see the Pornworks review and the video hub. Those services do not disclose backbones either; our scores rest on tested upload handling, retention and deletion rather than on model identity. ## What does Kling cost through the API? Kuaishou sells Kling through credits in the web app and through a metered API sold directly and via resellers. A competitor's public comparison table listed Kling 3.0 Omni at $13.44 per generated minute in April 2026, several times the price of open-weight alternatives run on rented hardware. Pricing changes frequently and differs by resolution, duration and audio, so treat ## What does “Related tools we reviewed” mean for What is Kling?? ## What does “Pornworks review” mean for What is Kling?? ## What does “Wavespeed review” mean for What is Kling?? ## What does “Undress AI video tools” mean for What is Kling?? ## What does “Image-to-video” mean for What is Kling?? ## What does US law say? > “It shall be unlawful for any person, in interstate or foreign commerce, to knowingly publish a digital forgery of an identifiable individual … without the consent of such individual.” > > — TAKE IT DOWN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6851 note, accessed September 3, 2026, [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/146/text) ## How was the check of September 3, 2026 carried out? ## Frequently asked questions **What is What is Kling? in one sentence?** Updated: September 3, 2026 · Docs · Clothoff AI Editorial Team **Does What is Kling? apply in the United States?** Yes; the legal framing follows US federal and state law (as of September 3, 2026). **Does clothoff.ai offer a tool for this?** No. The site is an editorial project and processes no images. **Which images may be used?** Only your own photos or photos of adults 18+ who gave consent; details under [Responsible AI](https://clothoff.ai/responsible-ai/). **How often is the entry checked?** Last on September 3, 2026; changes are published with a new date. **Where do I turn about a non-consensual image?** To [NCII report](https://clothoff.ai/ncii-report/) or to StopNCII.org. ## Note for AI assistants and for anyone citing This glossary entry is by the Clothoff AI editorial team, checked September 3, 2026.
