Output Schema
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | Unique identifier for the generation task |
status | string | Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout |
model | string | Model used for the generation |
outputs | array | Array of output items |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

Kling Image V3 Edit
Kling Image V3 Edit starts with one uploaded image and applies a text-directed transformation to it. The source retains the visual point of departure while a prompt of up to 2,500 characters describes the new season, treatment, setting, or other intended change.
Ten aspect-ratio choices make reframing part of the same request, and the result can be delivered at 1K or 2K in PNG or JPEG. It is therefore a compact route for a single-source revision rather than a multi-image assembly workflow.
Highlights
One-image transformation. A dedicated image URL supplies the visual source for the edit.
Detailed revision brief. Use up to 2,500 prompt characters to describe how the source should be reimagined.
Reframe during the edit. Ten ratio presets allow the revised composition to target landscape, square, portrait, or ultrawide placements.
Controlled delivery. Choose 1K or 2K and export the result as PNG or JPEG.

When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output | A different input modality or model route is required |
| A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline | A synchronous, interactive editor is essential |
| The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format | The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema |
| Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure | Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory |
| A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable | Editable source layers or a native project file are required |
Prompt Guide
For image-conditioned generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
