Kling O3 Standard is the image-to-video endpoint of Kuaishou's Kling O3 generation, released in February 2026. Kuaishou Technology, the Chinese company behind the Kwai and Kuaishou short-video apps, develops the broader Kling family, which the catalog describes as cinematic in quality and strong for human motion and editorial scenes. This Standard tier accepts a starting image and a text prompt to generate video, as documented in Kuaishou's image-to-video API reference.

Within the catalog lineup, the O3 branch runs alongside the V3 line, such as Kling V3 Standard, which itself follows the earlier Kling 2.6 Pro. By catalog naming, the Standard designation marks the lower tier, below the Kling O3 Pro and the Kling O3 4K siblings, whose names indicate the Pro tier and 4K resolution respectively.

The family also spans related task types, including text-to-video and reference-to-video endpoints, so the O3 Standard image-to-video variant covers the specific case of animating an existing still image rather than generating from text or reference inputs alone.

Because Kuaishou has not published a primary English model card with benchmark figures for this specific endpoint, this description stays limited to documented features rather than performance scores.
