A young man with swept-back golden hair and angular jawline striding through a moody metropolitan street, wearing an intricately patterned gray suede jacket over a tonal gray top and dark trousers, painted in a contemporary hyperrealistic oil painting style with visible brushstrokes on the clothing texture and background architecture while maintaining photographic precision on the face and hair, the embossed floral pattern on the jacket rendered with thick impasto technique adding three-dimensional texture, background dissolving into impressionistic smears of urban gray and muted green suggesting storefronts and vehicles, warm undertone in the skin against the cool gray palette of the wardrobe, dramatic gallery-worthy portrait composition, inspired by the figurative realism of Jeremy Mann and Casey Baugh, museum-quality fine art
A powerful sumo-built samurai warrior running through a bamboo forest carrying a war drum under his right arm, rendered in authentic Edo-period ukiyo-e woodblock print style with bold black outlines and flat color fills, wearing an indigo blue yoroi armor with silver lacing and a kabuto helmet with golden crescent moon crest, his face showing fierce determination with an exaggerated kabuki theater expression, the background composed of stylized bamboo stalks in graduated green ink washes with decorative cloud patterns in gold leaf, cherry blossom petals scattered throughout the composition, traditional Japanese calligraphy text block in the upper right corner, washi paper texture visible throughout, Hokusai and Kuniyoshi inspired, authentic Edo period color palette of indigo prussian blue vermillion and saffron yellow, horizontal scroll composition

What is the Kling Image v3 Edit API?
Kling Image v3 Edit is a Kuaishou model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Kling V3 Edit is an AI model for editing and transforming images via text prompts, enabling precise modifications with natural-language instructions. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the Kling Image v3 Edit API?
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/kwaivgi/kwaivgi-kling-image-v3-edit.
How much does Kling Image v3 Edit cost per run?
Kling Image v3 Edit starts at $0.028 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
What inputs does Kling Image v3 Edit accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `num_images`, `output_format`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/kwaivgi/kwaivgi-kling-image-v3-edit.
How do I get started with the Kling Image v3 Edit API?
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Can I use Kling Image v3 Edit outputs commercially?
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Kuaishou). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
