Kled is a new platform that became popular in 2026, but many people are unsure whether it actually works and, more importantly, how much money you can really make from it. That is exactly why I decided to test it for a month, with the goal of giving others a clear idea of whether it is actually possible to earn money with it or not.
What is Kled AI?
Kled AI is an iPhone app (not available on Android) that lets users earn money by uploading images that are used to train artificial intelligence models. In other words, you are essentially selling your data so that Kled AI can later sell it to third parties. This is not necessarily a bad thing if you agree to the terms, but keep in mind that by using it you allow your data to be used for training and improving AI models.
The main issue with Kled is that the payment per image is extremely low. It pays around $1 for every 100 images uploaded, but many images get rejected, either because they are too similar or due to other reasons determined by the algorithm and AI system that evaluates them.
Why does the AI need so many images?
Basically, it needs a huge number of examples to learn how to recognize objects, people, places, text, and patterns. The more high quality images it has for training, the better its results become. Buying licenses for each image would be very expensive, so this is a way to reduce costs by relying on user generated data.
My experience: I did not make money with Kled AI
As you can see, I only earned $2 after uploading around 700 images, which is very little. So at least from photos alone, you should not expect to make much money. On top of that, you need to reach a $25 minimum threshold in order to withdraw your earnings through PayPal.
Keep in mind that more than 80 percent of users probably never reach the minimum payout. This means they end up effectively giving away their data for free. So to be honest, you should not use this app expecting to get rich, unless you already have thousands of photos stored in your cloud and do not mind selling your data. In that case, it might be somewhat worth it.
There are other tasks that likely pay more, such as uploading videos of specific activities like driving or taking out the trash at home. Those kinds of tasks are probably used to train robots and tend to pay more than simply uploading images.
Once again, this is more like a hobby if you already have a large photo library on your phone. If you have thousands of images, you might earn something, but even then you would likely need to upload around 3,000 to 4,000 images, since many get rejected, just to reach the $25 minimum payout.
