> Cinematic AI videos and images with consistent AI characters — motion, style, and output under your control.

For the short summary see: https://modelclone.app/llms.txt

## Product overview

ModelClone (https://modelclone.app) is an AI image and video generation platform. Users create photorealistic AI models (consistent AI characters / virtual influencers), generate images and videos with the same face and style across every shot, and automate content pipelines via REST API, MCP server, or CLI.

ModelClone is positioned as an alternative to HeyGen, Runway, and Kling for creators who need a **consistent AI persona** across images and video — not one-off generations.

## Core capabilities

- **AI model creation** — train a consistent character from reference photos (~15 minutes) or use the appearance wizard
- **AI image generation** — text-to-image, presets, identity-locked output, 4K-capable pipelines
- **AI video generation** — text-to-video, image-to-video, motion transfer, video extension
- **Motion control** — transfer movement from reference video; expression and pose control
- **Creator Studio** — batch content, photo packs, niche presets (30+ templates)
- **Flows Studio** — visual workflow automation for batch pipelines
- **Face swap** — drop a trained identity into existing clips
- **Upscaling & reframing** — image/video upscale; aspect-ratio reframing
- **Public gallery** — share SFW generations at https://modelclone.app/post/{id}
- **Integrations** — Telegram Mini App, Fanvue OAuth, webhooks for async jobs

## Pricing

- Plans start at **$29 USD/month** (Starter). Pro ($79/mo) and Business ($199/mo) add more credits, models, and API access.
