Kling 2.6 is a video model from Kuaishou. Kling's value model: smooth motion at a low price. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.

Can Kling 2.6 start from a photo?

Yes. Kling 2.6 starts from words or a first frame. The photo becomes the first frame, cropped to the video's shape.

How long can the videos be?

5 or 10 seconds. You choose the length before you press go, and the price follows it.

How is it different from Kling 3.0, Kling 3.0 Motion Control and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro?

Kling 2.6: Kling's value model: smooth motion at a low price. Kling 3.0: Cinematic motion and strong physics, from text or a first frame. Kling 3.0 Motion Control: Moves the character in your image the way the person in a reference video moves, and keeps the face through turns, hands and hats. Billed by the length of the reference video. Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro: Kling's fast model with fluid motion, from text or a first frame. They all run in the same studio, so you can try one prompt on each.

How much does a run cost?

A 5-second clip costs $0.285 at the default settings. By length, a run costs $0.285 to $0.57. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.

Is Kling 2.6 free to try?

No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.285 (a 5-second clip), so $5 covers 17 of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.

Can I use what I make commercially?

Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.

Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as kling/kling-2.6, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.

Do I need a Kuaishou account?

No. Leap sends your request to Kuaishou's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Kling 2.6 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.

Tokyo backstreet coupe
Cinematic automotive shot: the camera starts high and slowly cranes down and dollies in behind the vintage green coupe on the wet Tokyo backstreet, its red tail lights glowing, light rain falling, lantern reflections shimmering in puddles and sliding across the glossy paint. Smooth, moody.
Snow leopard
Wildlife documentary: the snow leopard walks slowly along the rocky ridge toward camera, its thick tail swaying, snowflakes falling, the telephoto camera tracks with it. Natural animal motion, realistic.
Matcha pour
Slow-motion macro food commercial: the vivid green matcha stream keeps pouring into the iced milk, swirling green clouds marble through the white milk, droplets splash and hang in the air, ice cubes shift slightly. Steady camera, crisp backlight.
