Kling Video v3 Standard Image
Generated on PixelDojo with Kling Video v3 Standard (Image). Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Kling Video v3 Standard's image-to-video mode costs 6 credits per second, the same rate as its text-to-video sibling. We animated a product still on August 26, 2026 with a 3 second clip for 18 credits, and it finished in about 197 seconds. The output came back at 960 by 960 pixels, a square shape matching our source photo rather than the 16:9 we requested. This page covers the price, the measured turnaround, and a resolution difference worth knowing before you pick this tier over Pro.

What changes when you animate an image instead of text
Same 6 credits per second as text-to-video
Image-to-video on the Standard tier is priced identically to text-to-video. A 3 second clip is 18 credits either way.
Output follows the source image's shape, not your aspect_ratio
We requested 16:9, but the finished clip matched our square 2048 by 2048 source photo instead, landing at 960 by 960 pixels. Crop or generate your starting image in the shape you want the video to be.
A resolution gap against the Pro image tier
Running the identical starting image and prompt on Kling Video v3 Pro's image variant returned a 1440 by 1440 clip, 50 percent larger per side than Standard's 960 by 960, for 6 more credits.
Native audio generation, on by default
generate_audio defaults to true, so the clip includes synchronized sound without an extra request.
A start_image_url is required
This variant needs a source image URL. The prompt becomes optional motion guidance rather than a full scene description.
One image-to-video request, one starting photo, August 26, 2026. 18 credits, about 197 seconds, 960x960 output at 24fps.

How It Works
How we ran it, so you can repeat it:
Start from an image already in the shape you want
The output inherits the source photo's aspect ratio. Ours was square, so the clip came back square even though we asked for 16:9.
Write the prompt as a motion instruction
With a starting image already set, the prompt only needs to describe the camera move and any change in the scene, not the whole composition.
Run it in the app or over the API
Generate from the Kling Video page, or POST to /api/v1/models/kling-video-v3-standard-image/run. Ours took about 197 seconds and charged 18 credits.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Kling Video v3 Standard Image
What does Kling Video v3 Standard cost for image-to-video?
6 credits per second, from a 3 second minimum at 18 credits up to a 15 second maximum at 90 credits. Sending a starting image does not change the rate.
How fast is it?
About 197 seconds for our 3 second product clip on August 26, 2026. Turnaround moves with queue load, so treat that as a typical figure.
What resolution does it output?
Our test came back at 960 by 960 pixels at 24 frames per second, matching the square shape of our source photo rather than the 16:9 aspect_ratio we requested. Set the shape you want by cropping the starting image, not the aspect_ratio field.
How does Standard image-to-video compare with Pro image-to-video?
Running the same source image and prompt on Kling Video v3 Pro's image variant produced a 1440 by 1440 clip, 50 percent larger per side than Standard's 960 by 960, for 24 credits instead of 18 at the same 3 second length.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/kling-video-v3-standard-image/run with your API key, start_image_url, an optional prompt for motion guidance, and a duration between 3 and 15.
Can this model generate video from text alone?
Not this apiId. The text-to-video version is a separate entry, kling-video-v3-standard-text, at the same 6 credits per second.
