Kling V3.0: Text & Image to Video Online
Bottom line
Kling 3.0 flagship: text or image start, 3–15s, std/pro/4K tiers from 5.6 to 26.8 credits/second. Start from a prompt or a still image in the Text to Video tool; VdoBloom shows the exact credit cost before each Kling V3.0 run, with no separate Kling account.
Kling 3.0 (listed on VdoBloom as kling-3.0/video) is Kuaishou's flagship generation model, and the only Kling video model here that works from either a text prompt or an uploaded first-frame image. Duration runs 3 to 15 seconds, aspect ratio is 1:1, 9:16, or 16:9 — though the ratio is ignored and follows your image instead once you upload one — and quality has three tiers: std, pro, and 4K.
Pricing is per second and scales with tier: std runs 5.6 credits/s, pro runs 7.2 credits/s, and 4K runs a flat 26.8 credits/s. A 5-second std clip costs about 28 credits; the same 5 seconds at 4K costs about 134 credits. VdoBloom shows the exact number for your chosen duration and tier before you generate.
Kling 3.0's 4K tier is new to this generation of Kling models on VdoBloom — none of V2.5 Turbo, Kling 2.6, or V3 Turbo offer it. If you don't need 4K or the text-or-image flexibility, Kling V3 Turbo covers the same 3–15 second range at a lower per-second rate for its 720p/1080p tiers.
What it costs on VdoBloom
Kling 3.0 is billed per second at a rate set by quality tier: std 5.6 credits/s, pro 7.2 credits/s, 4K 26.8 credits/s. Worked examples: 5s std ≈ 28 credits, 5s pro ≈ 36 credits, 5s 4K ≈ 134 credits, 15s std ≈ 84 credits. The exact cost for your chosen duration and tier is shown before you generate, and refunded automatically if the generation fails.
Kling 3.0 vs Veo 3.1
Kling 3.0 gives you duration control (3–15 seconds) and a 4K tier that Veo 3.1 doesn't offer — Veo 3.1 has no duration selector on VdoBloom and bills a flat 40 credits (Fast) or 160 credits (High Quality) per generation regardless of length. Veo 3.1, in exchange, supports multi-image reference and frame-transition modes through Veo3Controls that Kling 3.0 doesn't have, and both models carry VdoBloom's STRICT content-filter rating.
Kling 3.0 suits jobs where you need a specific clip length or 4K output and are working from text or a single starting image. Veo 3.1 suits jobs that use its reference-image or first/last-frame workflow, where duration control matters less than those input modes.
What creators use Kling V3.0 for
- Starting a clip from a written prompt when no reference image exists yet.
- Animating a first-frame photo while keeping the option to switch to text-only on the next generation.
- Producing a 4K hero shot for a project where the extra per-second cost is justified by the output quality.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Kling 3.0 cost on VdoBloom?
Per second, by tier: std runs 5.6 credits/s, pro runs 7.2 credits/s, 4K runs 26.8 credits/s. A 5-second std clip is about 28 credits; a 5-second pro clip is about 36 credits; a 5-second 4K clip is about 134 credits.
Is Kling 3.0 free?
New accounts start with 10 free credits — enough to preview the tool but well short of even a 3-second std clip (~17 credits), so a top-up is needed to complete a generation.
Does Kling 3.0 have audio?
Not on this variant — kling-3.0/video generates video only, with no audio toggle exposed on VdoBloom. For native audio in every clip, use Kling 3.0 Omni Text-to-Video or Image-to-Video instead.
Does Kling 3.0 have motion control?
Motion control is a separate model on VdoBloom — Kling 3.0 Motion Control, found under the Animate Replace tool. It takes a reference image plus a driving video and transfers that video's motion onto your character; it's a different workflow from this text/image-to-video model.
What's the max resolution for Kling 3.0?
4K, as the top of three tiers (std, pro, 4K). 4K is billed at a flat 26.8 credits per second, well above std's 5.6 and pro's 7.2.
What's the character limit for Kling 3.0 prompts?
2,500 characters, VdoBloom's limit across the whole Kling family.
Is Kling 3.0 censored?
VdoBloom rates Kling's content filter STRICT: the provider rejects sexual, violent, or otherwise policy-violating prompts and uploads before generating — VdoBloom never promises unrestricted output.
Is Kling 3.0 open source?
No, Kling is proprietary to Kuaishou and only available through its API, including on VdoBloom.
Kling 3.0 vs Kling 3.0 Omni — what's the difference?
Kling 3.0 Omni adds native audio to every clip and uses a flat per-duration-and-resolution price table instead of a std/pro/4K per-second rate. Plain Kling 3.0 has no audio but a cheaper std tier (5.6 credits/s) for silent output; Omni's 720p tier is comparable in price once audio is factored in.
Why does Kling 3.0 lip sync or lose consistency across shots?
Kling's video models generate mouth movement and character detail from the prompt each time, with no persistent identity or voice reference carried between separate generations — this is a general limitation of prompt-driven video models, not something specific to VdoBloom. Keeping the character description identical across prompts, generating one continuous shot rather than several stitched attempts, and reviewing the cost preview before each run are the practical ways to limit wasted credits; VdoBloom refunds technical failures automatically but not creative mismatches.
