Kling 2.1

Kling 2.1 is Kuaishou's fast text‑to‑video system. It can create clips up to around two minutes long and offers several quality tiers from quick previews to 1080p "Master" renders. Motion looks smooth and camera moves are handled well, making it useful for short promos or pre‑visualising scenes. Kling outputs only visuals, so audio must be added separately and high‑quality renders take longer to complete.

Best Use Cases

Limitations

• No audio generation

• Official access is limited to certain platforms
