Kinovi

Video and image generation with an API

Visit official site

What Kinovi is

Kinovi generates video and images with reference control, so characters, styles or assets can constrain the output rather than leaving everything to a prompt. A public REST API lets developers wire the same capability into their own product.

It suits teams building generation into a process rather than using a single web page.

What you can do with it

  • Generate video and images from references
  • Constrain character, style and visual direction
  • Call generation through the REST API
  • Build automated generation flows
  • Test output with free starting credits

Who it is for

  • Creators and short filmmakers
  • Marketing teams testing creative
  • Developers integrating generation
  • Teams wanting reference-controlled output

What to watch out for

  • Character authorization, image consistency, prompt controllability and cost all need checking
  • Commercial licence terms should be read before client work
  • API usage can accumulate cost quickly
  • Output still needs manual review before release
