Kling 2.6 AI Video Generator
Kling 2.6 is the generation below Kling 3.0. It makes a 5 or 10 second clip from a prompt or a still image, and sound is a switch on the same run rather than a second step.
Kling 2.6 AI Video Generator
From prompt to clip
Four steps, and the second one is where most clips are won or lost.
Choose text or image to start
Starting from a still gives you control over what the scene looks like before anything moves.
State the camera and the subject move separately
What the camera does and what moves in frame are two different instructions. Merging them is how clips drift.
Test silent at 5 seconds
Half the rate and half the length, which is four times cheaper per attempt while you are still guessing.
Turn sound on for the keeper
Once the motion is right, run it again with audio rather than paying for sound on the tests.
What is Kling 2.6?
Kling 2.6 is the generation directly below Kling 3.0. It takes a prompt, or a still image plus a prompt describing what should happen to it, and returns a clip of either five or ten seconds. Two things about it are worth knowing before you use it. The first is that duration is an enum, not a number: five and ten are the only values the API accepts, so there is no trimming a seven-second idea down to fit a budget.
The second is sound. Audio is generated as part of the same run rather than added afterwards, which is genuinely better than dubbing something over a silent clip — and it costs about twice as much per second, so it is a decision rather than a default. There is no resolution choice at all on this generation; that arrived with Kling 3.0, which sells 720p, 1080p and 4K. Its Turbo variant is the same generation without the sound switch.

What a clip costs
Per second, and the only thing that moves the rate is whether sound is on.
The generation below 3.0
Older than Kling 3.0 and Kling 3.0 Turbo, and cheaper per second than either when run silent.
Exactly two durations
Five or ten seconds. The API rejects anything else.
Sound doubles the rate
Generated with the shot, not layered on, and priced accordingly.
When 2.6 is the right pick
Pick 2.6 when you want sound generated with the shot and you do not need 1080p. That is a narrower slot than it sounds, and it is a real one: Kling 3.0 Turbo, the obvious alternative, has no sound field at all, so a clip that needs audio has to come from 2.6 or 3.0. Run it silent while you are still finding the shot — at roughly half the rate, two silent attempts cost about what one sounded attempt does, and the motion is what you are testing anyway. Then turn sound on for the take you keep. Move up to Kling 3.0 when you need a resolution above what this generation produces or multi-shot sequences, and to 3.0 Turbo when speed matters more than audio.
Audio in the same generation
The sound is made with the shot rather than dubbed over it afterwards.
Cheapest Kling per second
Run silent, it is the lowest per-second rate of the Kling models offered here.

Short clips where audio being native matters more than resolution.
Social video with sound
Short vertical clips where the audio is part of the post rather than a music bed.
Bringing a photo to life
A still you already have, given a camera move and a little motion.
Ambience and atmosphere
Rain, water, steam, crowds — scenes where the sound is most of the effect.
Testing a shot cheaply
A silent five-second run is the cheapest way to find out if the motion works at all.

What each model costs in credits
A failed run is refunded automatically. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 525 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 1,185. A full 30s take runs ≈ 3,150 at 480p and ≈ 7,090 at 720p. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | Supplying a starting frame or clip costs less than starting from words alone: 6s 720p ≈ 565 credits from an image, ≈ 925 from text. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 6s 720p text-to-video ≈ 745 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest tier of the Seedance 2 family. 6s 720p ≈ 465 credits, 6s 480p ≈ 215 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 6s 720p ≈ 85 credits silent, ≈ 160 with audio; 1080p ≈ 175 and ≈ 340. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second, and the tier you pick is the whole price: Lite ≈ 115 credits at 720p and ≈ 135 at 1080p, Fast ≈ 225 at 720p, Quality ≈ 940 at 720p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate by about half. 6s 720p ≈ 320 credits silent, ≈ 455 with audio; 1080p ≈ 405 and ≈ 610. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 395 credits. |

| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. 30 credits per 1K or 2K image, 55 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant, and the everyday editing price: a flat 15 credits per image at every resolution. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost premium image model here. 10 credits per 1K image, 15 at 2K, 30 at 4K. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI's newest image model, on the fast tier. 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K — same price whether you generate or edit. |

| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — 20 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
Kling 2.6 FAQ
Common questions about this generation of Kling.
3.0 is the newer generation and adds a resolution choice and multi-shot sequences. 2.6 has no resolution field at all, and run silent it is cheaper per second than either 3.0 or 3.0 Turbo.
No. Duration is an enum of exactly 5 and 10 on this model, and anything else is rejected by the API.
About 210 credits for 5 seconds silent and about 415 with sound. Ten seconds is double each, so a sounded 10-second clip is roughly 830.
When the scene is about something audible — rain, a crowd, water — yes, because it is generated with the shot rather than dubbed over it. For a clip that will sit under a voiceover, no; you are paying double for audio you will mute.
Kling 3.0 Turbo, which takes a 720p or 1080p resolution. It has no sound option, which is the trade.
Credits are returned automatically, unless the request broke the content policy.
Yes, for its two fixed cuts: it renders exactly 5 or 10 seconds, cheaper than 3.0, which makes it a predictable-cost workhorse for social-length clips. Move to 3.0 when you need resolution choices or its stronger motion.
