# Pika 2.2 > Pika 2.2 is the video model Pika Labs released in early 2025, which raised Pika's clips to 10 seconds and 1080p and introduced Pikaframes keyframe transitions in Pika's own app. On Kenerate AI it runs as text to video and image to video: 5 or 10 seconds at 720p, 16:9 or 9:16, silent, for 12 credits a second — 60 credits for 5 seconds, 120 for 10.

Open the video studio — Go to /app/video and pick Pika 2.2 (the button on this page selects it). Video needs any one-time credit pack. 2. Choose text or image — Text to video from a prompt, or image to video from a start image. A prompt is required for image to video too. 3. Describe the motion — Write one clear action and the camera — "the corgi turns the wheel, slow push-in". Short, playful prompts suit Pika best. 4. Pick length and ratio — Choose 5 or 10 seconds and 16:9 or 9:16. The credit cost (60 or 120) shows before you generate. ## In depth ### Pika 2.2 on Kenerate vs Pika's own app Pika's app wraps 2.2 in its own tools — Pikaframes, Pikascenes, 1080p — and bills in Pika credits [2]. On Kenerate the model runs through its text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints, so you get the core model only: - On Kenerate — text or image to video, 5 or 10 s, 720p, 16:9 or 9:16, silent, 60 or 120 credits per clip, no Pika account. - In Pika's app — the same model plus Pikaframes (first and last frame, 1–10 s), Pikascenes and a 1080p option, on Pika's plans [1][2][3]. ### Prompting Pika 2.2 Pika suits short, playful, stylised shots. Give one subject one clear action and one camera move — "the paper boat drifts down the river, camera follows" — rather than a scene with several events. For image to video, describe only what moves and keep the style words that match your picture; the prompt is required. ### When to pick another model Pika 2.2 is silent, 720p and fixed at 5 or 10 seconds on Kenerate. For sound or 1080p, PixVerse V6 runs 1–15 s from 13.5 credits a second at 720p (27 at 1080p). For a start and end frame, Vidu Q3 Pro takes both.

A: Pika 2.2 is a video model from Pika Labs, released in early 2025. In Pika's own app it raised clip length to 10 seconds and resolution to 1080p, and introduced Pikaframes, a keyframe feature that generates the motion between a first and a last frame. Q: Pika 2.2 vs 2.1 — what's the difference? A: In Pika's app, 2.2 added 10-second clips and Pikaframes on top of 2.1's 1080p output. On Kenerate the two run the same way — text or image to video, 5 or 10 seconds, 720p, 16:9 or 9:16, silent — at the same 12 credits a second, so pick by look: run one prompt on both. Q: Does Pika 2.2 support Pikaframes on Kenerate? A: No. Pikaframes needs an end frame, and Pika 2.2 on Kenerate takes a start image only. For start-and-end-frame video, use a model that accepts an end frame, such as Vidu Q3 Pro. Q: How much does Pika 2.2 cost on Kenerate? A: 12 credits a second: 60 credits for a 5-second clip and 120 for 10 seconds, for text or image to video. Credits come in one-time packs from $15 for 1,300, with no subscription. Q: Is Pika 2.2 free? A: Not on Kenerate's free plan — video needs any one-time credit pack. Pika's own app has its own plans; check pika.art for its current prices. Q: How long can Pika 2.2 videos be? A: 5 or 10 seconds per clip on Kenerate. In Pika's app, Pikaframes generations can be 1–10 seconds and other 2.2 generations are 5 or 10, per Pika's FAQ. Q: What resolution is Pika 2.2? A: On Kenerate, 720p — 1280×720 for 16:9 or 720×1280 for 9:16. Pika's own app offers 2.2 at 720p or 1080p. Q: Does Pika 2.2 have sound? A: No. Pika 2.2 clips are silent. If you want sound in the same pass, PixVerse V6 or Vidu Q3 generate audio with the video. Q: Is Pika 2.2 the latest Pika model? A: No. Pika has since released Pika 2.5 and relaunched its app; 2.2 remains available through APIs, and on Kenerate alongside Pika 2.1. ## Related pages - Pika alternative: https://kenerateai.com/pika-art-alternative - PixVerse V6: https://kenerateai.com/models/pixverse/pixverse-v6 - Vidu Q3: https://kenerateai.com/models/vidu/vidu-q3 - Kling 2.6: https://kenerateai.com/models/kwaivgi/kling-v2-6 - Pika Swaps alternative: https://kenerateai.com/pika-swaps-alternative - All AI video models: https://kenerateai.com/ai-video-models ## Sources - Pika releases video model 2.2 with improved resolution and longer clips — The Decoder, 1 Mar 2025: https://the-decoder.com/pika-releases-video-model-2-2-with-improved-resolution-and-longer-clips/ - Frequently asked questions — Pika: https://pika.art/faq - Pika Labs launches video model 2.2 with longer 1080p videos and Pikaframes — AlternativeTo: https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/3/pika-labs-launches-video-model-2-2-with-longer-1080p-videos-and-new-pikaframes-tool
