Key Features

Enhanced Prompt Adherence

Whether it’s a complex description or a basic concept, Kling 2.1 has an improved grasp on detail, context, and direction, which enables it to understand and follow text prompts with greater precision than previous models. This ensures better creative control over visual aspects like camera motion, expressions, settings, and actions.

Better Motion Dynamics

With Kling 2.1, it is now possible to generate dramatic visuals, fast-paced scenes, and intense action sequences with fewer slow or static frames, compared to previous Kling models. This means better frame consistency, little to no telltale artefacts, and smoother character motions that look far more lifelike.

Improved Character Realism

The Kling 2.1 model introduces a new level of visual realism that enables it to render characters that look, act, and express themselves far more genuinely than before. This makes it possible to create captivating scenes with believable character performances that offer up greater emotional impact in any setting.

The character rises from the ground and walks forward with a cold and serious demeanor. Blue flames spiral around their body, flowing dynamically, while their hair moves naturally. The background lighting gradually intensifies in brightness, with the character's front lighting remaining consistent. The blue flames radiate outward in a random pattern, spreading in all directions. The camera follows the character closely, maintaining a close-up shot.
