About Kinema
We build the camera that takes any picture.
Kinema started in 2023 with one question: what if the picture in your head did not need a studio, a crew or a week? We trained our first model on a laptop and showed it to twelve designers. Eleven asked when they could have it.
Today teams in 190 countries use Kinema to make product shots, campaigns and film frames in seconds. We are 64 people in San Francisco and Lisbon, and we still answer every support email ourselves.

Three rules we do not break.
Fast is a feature
If a picture takes longer than a sentence, we are not done. Speed is what lets you try the tenth idea.

Every picture carries its prompt, model and seed, so anyone on your team can make it again.
