How to Use Kling 4.0

01 / Current site workflow

Generate with Kling 3.0 on This Site

On Kling 4.0, the available generator currently uses Kling 3.0. These steps describe its actual text and single-image controls. If you are researching how to use Kling 4.0 itself, read the official features and site availability overview and the official Kling 4.0 announcement for its new creation interface and model specifications.

1. 01

   Choose your mode and model

   Open the Kling 3.0 generator. Choose Text to Video to create a scene from words, or Image to Video to animate a still. Select Standard or Pro and review the credit estimate.

2. 02

   Add your prompt or source image

   For text, describe the subject, setting, action, and camera movement. For image mode, upload one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 10 MB. An image prompt is optional, but a clear motion instruction helps express what you want to change.

3. 03

   Choose duration and framing

   Select 5 or 10 seconds. Text mode offers 16:9 for wide scenes, 9:16 for vertical social clips, and 1:1 for square compositions. Image mode uses the source image’s framing, so crop your image before uploading it.

4. 04

   Generate, preview, and save

   Select Generate and sign in if prompted. Once your account balance loads, select Generate again to submit. Follow your task in Output Preview, play the completed video, and use Open / download video to open the file and save it from your browser.

02 / Inputs

Text or Image: Which Should You Use?

Use text for a new scene you can describe clearly. Use an image when you already have the appearance, composition, or product you want to animate. Keep the source image simple and make the main subject easy to recognize.

For image mode, prepare the crop for your final platform. A wide still works for a landscape or a presentation; a vertical still leaves more room for a standing subject on a phone screen.

03 / Better prompts

Write a Clear Video Prompt

Give the shot one main event. Name the subject, describe a concrete action, and choose one camera movement. Add the visual details that should remain stable. Avoid packing unrelated locations or several scene changes into a short clip.

For image-to-video, focus on movement

Try: “The person slowly turns toward the window. A light breeze moves their coat. The camera makes a gentle push-in. Preserve the face, clothing, and room layout.” Your source image already establishes the appearance, so focus the words on what happens next.

Improve one element at a time

Review the entire video for subject details, natural motion, framing, and a clear ending. If you want a different result, change one instruction—such as the action, lighting, or camera distance—before generating another version.

04 / Results and credits

Preview Your Video and Manage Credits

Output Preview shows the selected task while it is creating your video. The progress indicator is an estimate. When the task finishes, the player displays the returned clip. Use Recent videos to switch between tasks created during your session.

If a task fails, try again or contact support@kling40ai.com with its task ID. Keep that ID when asking about a missing result or account charge.

Check your displayed balance before generating. New accounts receive a 40-credit signup offer; your balance shows whether it has been applied. If you need more credits, choose a credit pack and follow the email purchase instructions.
