Audio-Driven Animation Without the Complexity
Kling AI Avatar v2 Pro uses audio-synchronized motion generation to animate any portrait or character image. Unlike traditional animation workflows that require rigging, keyframing, and manual lip sync adjustment, this model maps audio waveforms directly to facial movements and expressions.
What this means for you:
- Simple dual-input API: Upload one portrait photo (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF) plus one audio file (MP3, OGG, WAV, M4A, AAC) to generate synchronized avatar videos
- Natural lip synchronization: Audio-driven facial animation matches speech patterns without manual keyframe adjustment
- Multi-character support: Works across realistic humans, animals, cartoon styles, and stylized characters from the same endpoint
- Production-ready output: Generate avatar videos suitable for commercial use at broadcast quality standards
- Optional prompt refinement: Include text prompts to guide subtle aspects of the animation beyond audio synchronization
Pricing scales linearly with output duration, making cost predictable for batch production workflows.
