Kling o3 and nano-banana-pro are both available on aicut for AI image workflows, but they solve different problems. Choosing the right one depends on what you're starting with and what output you need.

What Kling o3 Does

Kling o3 is Kuaishou's model for image editing with a specific strength in image-to-video animation. Give it a static image and it can animate elements — flowing water, moving clouds, character expression changes — producing a video clip from a still.

It also handles targeted image edits: change the background, adjust lighting, swap an element while preserving the rest of the image.

Best use cases:

You have an AI-generated image and want a short animated clip from it
You want to add subtle motion to a portrait, landscape, or product shot
You need to make a specific edit to an existing image without full regeneration

What Nano Banana Pro Does

Nano-banana-pro is fal.ai's high-quality image generation model. It generates photorealistic images from text prompts with strong detail fidelity — particularly good at hyper-detailed photographs, product imagery, and high-resolution portrait generation.

The edit variant (nano-banana-pro-edit) handles inpainting and targeted image editing for still outputs.

Best use cases:

Generating new high-quality still images from text prompts
Product photography with photorealistic rendering
Detailed portrait generation
Editing an existing image where the output remains a still

Head-to-Head: When to Use Each

Scenario: You have an AI landscape image and want a 10-second loop for Instagram Reels → Use Kling o3. It animates the landscape — clouds move, water ripples, grass sways — producing a video loop from your still image.

Scenario: You need a high-quality product shot for a background in a video → Use Nano Banana Pro. Generate the photorealistic product image first, then animate it with Kling o3 if you want to add motion.

Scenario: You generated an image with the wrong background → Either model works. Nano-banana-pro-edit handles inpainting reliably. Kling o3 handles background replacement well. Test both.

Scenario: You want to add subtle expression animation to a portrait → Use Kling o3. Animation is its primary capability; nano-banana-pro-edit produces still outputs only.

The Combined Workflow

Many creators use both models in sequence:

Generate the base image in nano-banana-pro — maximum quality still image
Animate it with Kling o3 — add motion to produce the video clip
Post the clip to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts

This two-step approach gives you the best still image quality (nano-banana-pro's strength) combined with the best animation quality (Kling o3's strength).

Accessing Both on aicut

aicut provides access to both models. Nano-banana-pro is available in the AI image creation flow. Kling o3 is available in the image editing and image-to-video workflow when an image input is provided.

For the combined workflow, generate your image in aicut's image creator, then bring it into the video creation flow to animate with Kling o3 — all without leaving the platform.

Key Takeaways

Kling o3 is the right tool when you want to animate an existing image or make targeted edits where the output is a video clip.
Nano Banana Pro is the right tool when you need a high-quality still image generated from scratch.
The best workflow often combines both: nano-banana-pro for image generation, Kling o3 for animation.
Both models are available on aicut.

Try nano-banana-pro for image generation at aicut — then animate your results with Kling o3.
