Transforms your static images into captivating video clips, reliving your cherished moments with added dynamism through Gemini.
Google's latest innovation, the photo-to-video generation feature, is now available globally for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. This exciting development, which was initially unveiled with the launch of Veo 3 in May 2025, has since been expanded to over 150 countries as part of Google Gemini and Google AI Pro services.
The feature, showcased at I/O 2025 for its impressive audio capabilities and lifelike video strength, allows users to transform their photos into eight-second video clips. To use the service, users simply upload a photo and provide a detailed text description of how they want the video to be generated. The process takes a minute or two for the video to be created.
Subscribers are also given the option to include audio instructions for the video, adding an extra layer of personalisation to their creations. Once the video is generated, users can download and share it with others.
It's worth noting that this feature is specifically associated with Gemini and Google AI Pro services, with no previous releases on other devices confirmed. The Honor 400 series, which previously benefited from a similar feature with Veo 2 earlier this year, requires a Google subscription for continued use.
Google has taken significant steps to ensure an appropriate experience with its AI tools. The company has emphasised the importance of user privacy and safety, ensuring that all generated videos adhere to their guidelines.
In addition, YouTube has expressed interest in bringing Veo 3 into the Shorts platform, further expanding the reach and potential of this innovative feature. As Google continues to push the boundaries of AI technology, it's clear that the future of photo and video creation is set to be transformed.
The photo-to-video generation feature, available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, utilizes artificial-intelligence to transform users' photos into lifelike video clips. By providing a detailed text description and optional audio instructions, users can personalize their creations and generate a video that adheres to Google's guidelines on user privacy and safety.
