PixVerse — 1080p at social volume.
PixVerse is the engine King AI reaches for when the job is volume: 1080p with audio at 1.15 credits a second, in clips of 5, 10 or 15 seconds: a five-second clip is 5.75 credits. It also runs 84 of the app’s 202 one-tap effects — more than any other video engine except Vidu.
Specs
What PixVerse V6 actually does.
Every figure below is read from the app's own model catalog at build time, so it is the number you will be charged — not a rounded marketing estimate.

Strengths
What PixVerse V6 does best.
1080p at 1.15 credits a second, and 84 of the app’s 202 one-tap effects.
Cheap 1080p, by the second
PixVerse V6 fills a second of 1080p for 1.15 credits against Kling V3 Pro’s 1.68 and Veo 3.1’s 4. On a feed that needs five posts a day, that difference is the workflow.
Priced by the second
5, 10 or 15 seconds at 1080p: 5.75, 11.5 or 17.25 credits.
Second only to Vidu in effects
84 of King AI’s 202 one-tap effects run on PixVerse — hug, muscle surge, baby face, figurine, zombie and the rest. Only Vidu runs more, with 85.
Two tiers and a transition mode
V6 at 1.15 credits and C1 at 1.2 take the same prompt at the same 1080p, and both offer a start-and-end-frame transition that generates the move between two stills.
Limits
Where PixVerse is the wrong pick.
No model wins every shot. These are the cases where something else in the app is the better spend.
1080p is the ceiling. There is no PixVerse 2K or 4K tier here, so a 4K delivery has to come from a 4K tier of Veo, Kling, Seedance or Vidu, or an upscale pass afterwards.
It is not the cheapest second in the app. Grok Imagine 1.5 Lite bills 0.3 credits at 720p, MiniMax H3 Max Turbo bills 0.4 at 768p and 0.8 at 1080p, and Kling O3 Standard also undercuts PixVerse V6. PixVerse wins on price and resolution together, not on price alone.
15 seconds is the cap, and the extend mode only offers 5s·8s at a time. For a genuinely long single take, WAN 3.0 reaches 30 seconds and LTX 2.5 Fast reaches 20.
The effect templates are a fixed menu, not a prompt. They take your photo and produce their own motion; when you need a specific action described in words, use the text-to-video or image-to-video tiers instead.
Head to head
PixVerse V6 against the alternatives.
The same six columns for the models you would realistically pick instead, on the same job. A Kling Standard tier's resolution is not stated: the catalog says 1080p, and the clips we measured were smaller.
| Model | Max resolution | Clip length | Audio | Credits per second | Shortest clip |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PixVerse V6 | 1080p | 5s·10s·15s | Yes | 1.15 (~$0.46) | 5s · 5.75 credits (~$2.30) |
| PixVerse C1 | 1080p | 5s·10s·15s | Yes | 1.2 (~$0.48) | 5s · 6 credits (~$2.40) |
| Kling V3 Standard | Not stated | 5s·10s·15s | Yes | 1.26 (~$0.50) | 5s · 6.3 credits (~$2.52) |
| MiniMax H3 2K | 2K | 5s·10s·15s | Yes | 1.3 (~$0.52) | 5s · 6.5 credits (~$2.60) |
| LTX 2.5 Fast | 1080p | 10s·20s | Yes | 1.3 (~$0.52) | 10s · 13 credits (~$5.20) |

How it works
Getting the most out of PixVerse V6.
Choose the length
PixVerse offers 5, 10 or 15 seconds: 5.75, 11.5 or 17.25 credits. Start at 5 seconds while you find the shot.
Try V6 before C1
V6 at 1.15 credits a second is cheaper than C1 at 1.2 and outputs the same 1080p. Run the prompt on V6, and move to C1 only when the result is close but not controlled enough.
Use the effects for the tricks
Anything with a named look — a figurine, a baby face, a zombie turn — already exists as a preset built on this engine. Prompting it from scratch costs more and lands less often.
Reach for the transition mode
When you already have the opening and closing frame, the start-and-end-frame tier generates the move between them, which is far more reliable than describing that move in words.
Prompts
Three prompts that play to PixVerse V6's strengths.
Written for this engine, not swapped between pages. Each one opens the studio with PixVerse V6 selected and the prompt already in the box — the cost shown is what one clip at the shortest length it offers will take off your balance.

PixVerse V6, answered.
What is the difference between PixVerse V6 and PixVerse C1?
Price and behaviour, not pixels. Both output 1080p with audio and both offer 5, 10 or 15 seconds. PixVerse V6 costs 1.15 credits a second; PixVerse C1 costs 1.2 and adds a reference-to-video mode that V6 does not have. Start on V6.
How much does a PixVerse video cost in King AI?
King AI bills per second. PixVerse V6 costs 1.15 credits a second, so a clip of 5 seconds is 5.75 credits and one of 15 seconds is 17.25. PixVerse C1 costs 1.2 credits a second. In most countries, your first video is on us: new verified accounts get one five-second video on our lowest-cost video model, once. A five-second PixVerse V6 run costs more than the first video on us, so it needs credits from a plan or credit pack.
Which effects run on PixVerse?
84 of the 202 one-tap effect templates in King AI are PixVerse templates — the hug, muscle surge, baby-face, zombie and 3D-figurine presets among them. They take a photo and generate their own motion, with the credit cost shown before you press Generate.
Does PixVerse generate sound?
Yes. Both video tiers and the transition and reference modes generate audio with the picture. The extend mode does too, which matters because it inherits the clip it is lengthening rather than dropping to silence.
Is PixVerse good enough for client work?
For 1080p social and ad cutdowns, yes — that is what the rate is for. For a hero shot that has to hold on a large screen, or for dialogue, spend the difference on Veo 3.1 at 4 credits a second or Kling V3 Pro at 1.68. Both are in the same picker, on the same balance.
