Kivio review
A browser-based studio for reusable AI influencer characters, images and short videos.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kivio is a browser-based studio for creators, agencies and brands making image and short-video content for AI influencer characters. It lets users upload reference images and save character profiles to help carry a consistent face across scenes and generations. The web app also supports image editing, skin-texture refinement and export upscaling, without requiring local generation software. Its focus is practical for people who need recurring character content rather than a broad creative suite.
Character reuse is the product’s defining strength. Profiles and reference images help keep faces consistent, while one reference image can seed cohesive photo sets. Kivio can also generate short videos with movement and expressions, extending a character beyond still imagery. Editing skin texture and upscaling exports add finishing controls. Those tools suit a lightweight creator workflow, though the feature set remains focused; buyers seeking a wider production or editing environment may prefer a broader tool.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, all three monthly plans include image generation, video generation, image editing, upscale exports and commercial use: Basic is $29 per month, Pro $59, and Ultra $99. Paid plans include monthly credits and character-profile limits, but the listed highlights do not distinguish what changes between tiers, so compare the plan limits before choosing. There is no free plan. Kivio is a fit for solo creators and small or mid-market teams prioritizing accessible character creation; it is less suitable for buyers who need a free entry point or extensive feature depth. Email is the stated support channel, and the service offers a 30-day refund period.
