Kling AI Avatar v2 Standard
Overview
Kling AI Avatar v2 Standard is an audio-driven image-to-video model developed by Kuaishou Technology. It animates a single static portrait—including humans, animals, or stylized characters—by synchronizing facial movements and lip-sync to an uploaded audio track. As the more cost-effective tier compared to Kling AI Avatar v2 Pro, it is built for bulk generation, rapid prototyping, and educational videos where consistent character identity and reliable audio alignment are needed at scale.

Kling AI Avatar v2 Standard: Real Estate AgentWhat is Kling AI Avatar v2 Standard best used for?
Kuaishou's Kling AI Avatar v2 Standard is an image-to-video model built specifically for audio-driven talking-head generation. By processing a single portrait image alongside an audio track, it creates synchronized lip-sync animations. It is used by creators and marketers to produce explainer videos, social media clips, and product announcements without a camera. The model supports realistic human portraits, animals, cartoons, and stylized characters, maintaining consistent facial movements throughout the generated speech.
When was Kling AI Avatar v2 Standard released, and what is its lineage?
Developed by Kuaishou, Kling AI Avatar v2 Standard was released in December 2025 as a major upgrade to Kling's original Custom AI Avatar feature. This v2 release introduced improved hand stability, support for longer generation times up to five minutes, and more accurate lip-syncing. The Standard tier is optimized for speed and lower-cost everyday use. For projects requiring broadcast-level 1080p fidelity and highly expressive motion, Kuaishou also offers Kling AI Avatar v2 Pro.
How can I optimize my inputs for the best lip-sync and motion results?
Provide a high-resolution, front-facing portrait where the subject is well-lit and clearly visible. Because the model maps waveforms directly to facial movements, you must use clean audio with minimal background noise and clear enunciation. You can also use an optional text prompt to steer the avatar's attitude and setting, such as "warm smile, steady eye contact, professional." To minimize unwanted or excessive hand gestures, avoid high-energy prompt words like "enthusiastic," "animated," or "dynamic."

Prompt tips
- Structure your performance: Use the optional text prompt to guide the delivery with a formula like
[Role] + [Emotion] + [Gestures] + [Pace](e.g., "confident news anchor, subtle hand gestures, steady pace").,- Optimize the source image: Crop your input to a tight head-and-shoulders shot with a neutral expression and closed mouth for the cleanest starting point.,- Provide studio-clean audio: Ensure your uploaded audio track has prominent, clear vocals and zero background noise to maximize lip-sync precision.,- Iterate in short bursts: While the model supports long videos, generating 10–20 second segments makes it easier to iterate on specific emotional deliveries and reduces generation wait times.
