Kling 3.0 Turbo integration

Kling 3.0 Turbo is the fast generation model from the Kling 3.0 family, delivering smooth motion and high visual fidelity with shorter processing times for rapid iteration.
Kling 3.0 Turbo is an AI video generation API optimized for speed. It produces high-fidelity videos from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from a single image (image-to-video), with durations from 3 to 15 seconds. As part of the Kling 3.0 family, Turbo prioritizes faster generation, making it well suited for high-volume workflows and quick creative iteration. Resolution is selected at generation time: each mode has a dedicated 720p generate endpoint and a dedicated 1080p generate endpoint. Task status and listing are handled by a single generic endpoint per mode, regardless of the resolution used to create the task.

​
Key capabilities

  • Dual input modes: Generate video from a text prompt (t2v) or animate a first-frame image (i2v)
  • Resolution by generate endpoint: Dedicated 720p (standard high definition) and 1080p (full high definition) generate endpoints per mode
  • Unified task tracking: One generic list endpoint and one generic status endpoint per mode, for tasks of any resolution
  • Fast generation: Turbo-optimized pipeline for shorter processing times than standard Kling 3.0 models
  • Flexible durations: Any whole number from 3 to 15 seconds, default 5
  • Aspect ratios (t2v): 16:9 landscape, 9:16 portrait, and 1:1 square
  • Prompt control: Up to 3072 characters in text-to-video, up to 2500 characters of motion guidance in image-to-video
  • Async processing: Webhook notifications or polling for task completion
  • 24-hour delivery: Generated MP4 video is returned via a URL valid for 24 hours

​
Use cases

  • Social media content: Produce vertical 9:16 clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
  • Marketing videos: Animate product images or generate brand content from prompts at scale
  • Rapid prototyping: Iterate quickly on creative concepts thanks to fast Turbo generation
  • Concept visualization: Turn static designs into motion for pitches and previews
  • Ad variations: Generate multiple resolutions, aspect ratios, and durations from a single concept

API Operations

​
Text-to-Video (t2v)

Generate a video from a text description using the 720p or 1080p endpoint, then track it with the generic list and status endpoints. Generation returns a task ID for async polling or webhook notification.

POST /v1/ai/text-to-video/kling-v3-turbo-720p

Generate a 720p video from a text prompt

POST /v1/ai/text-to-video/kling-v3-turbo-1080p

Generate a 1080p video from a text prompt

GET /v1/ai/text-to-video/kling-v3-turbo

List all Kling 3.0 Turbo T2V tasks (any resolution)

GET /v1/ai/text-to-video/kling-v3-turbo/{task-id}

Get T2V task status and result by ID

​
Image-to-Video (i2v)

Animate a first-frame image using the 720p or 1080p endpoint, then track it with the generic list and status endpoints. Generation returns a task ID for async polling or webhook notification.

POST /v1/ai/image-to-video/kling-v3-turbo-720p

Generate a 720p video from a first-frame image

POST /v1/ai/image-to-video/kling-v3-turbo-1080p

Generate a 1080p video from a first-frame image

GET /v1/ai/image-to-video/kling-v3-turbo

List all Kling 3.0 Turbo I2V tasks (any resolution)

GET /v1/ai/image-to-video/kling-v3-turbo/{task-id}

Get I2V task status and result by ID

Parameters

Resolution is determined by the generate endpoint you call (-720p or -1080p) and is not a body parameter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kling 3.0 Turbo is the fast-generation model in the Kling 3.0 family. You submit a text prompt (text-to-video) or a first-frame image (image-to-video) to a resolution-specific generate endpoint and receive a task ID immediately. Poll the generic GET status endpoint or supply a webhook_url to be notified when the task completes, then download the MP4 video from the returned URL (valid for 24 hours).
Resolution is selected by the generate endpoint, not by a body parameter. Call the -720p endpoint for standard high definition or the -1080p endpoint for full high definition. Task listing and status use a single generic endpoint per mode, regardless of the resolution.
No. Status and listing are generic per mode: GET /v1/ai/text-to-video/kling-v3-turbo (and /{task-id}) covers all text-to-video tasks, and GET /v1/ai/image-to-video/kling-v3-turbo (and /{task-id}) covers all image-to-video tasks, whether they were generated at 720p or 1080p.
Text-to-video generates a video purely from a text prompt and lets you choose the aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1). Image-to-video animates a first-frame image you provide; the aspect ratio is inherited from that image and the prompt is optional, used only to guide motion and style.
Kling 3.0 Turbo supports any whole-number duration from 3 to 15 seconds (default 5). Shorter durations generate faster.
Text-to-video supports 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (portrait), and 1:1 (square). Image-to-video does not accept an aspect ratio parameter; the output ratio is inherited from the source image.
Image-to-video accepts JPG, JPEG, and PNG, provided as a publicly accessible URL or a Base64-encoded string (without the data URI prefix). Requirements: minimum 300x300 pixels, maximum 50MB, and an aspect ratio between 1:2.5 and 2.5:1. Only the first frame is supported.
Generation time depends on resolution and duration, but Turbo is optimized for faster processing than standard Kling 3.0 models. Poll the GET task endpoint or provide a webhook_url to be notified on completion. The result MP4 is delivered via a URL that remains valid for 24 hours.
Rate limits depend on your subscription tier. See the Rate Limits page for current limits by plan.
Pricing varies by resolution and duration. See the Pricing page for current rates and credit costs.

Best practices

  • Resolution choice: Use the -720p generate endpoint for faster generation and the -1080p generate endpoint when you need maximum detail
  • Prompt writing: Be specific about the scene, subjects, motion, camera movement, lighting, and visual style for better results
  • Negative descriptions inline: Steer the model away from artifacts by adding phrases like “no text, no blur” directly in the prompt
  • Image selection (i2v): Use clear, high-resolution images within the 300x300px to 50MB range and the 1:2.5 to 2.5:1 aspect ratio bounds
  • Duration selection: Start at 3-5 seconds for fast iterations, then increase up to 15 seconds for final outputs
  • Production integration: Use webhooks instead of polling for scalable applications
  • Result retrieval: Download the output promptly, as the delivery URL is valid for 24 hours
  • Kling 3: Standard Kling 3.0 model for higher-fidelity output
  • Kling 2.6: Previous-generation Kling with motion control
  • WAN 2.7: Alternative t2v and i2v model with multi-shot sequences
  • Runway Gen-4 Turbo: Fast i2v alternative with cinematic quality
