Google just launched a new Gemini AI feature that lets you transform photos into video clips. The new photo-to-video capability is powered by Google’s Veo 3 video model, and it can transform reference images into eight-second videos complete with AI-generated audio, including background noises, environmental sounds, and speech.
The Gemini video update is now available to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers “in select regions,” according to Google. It’s rolling out on the web starting today and throughout the week on mobile devices.
Gemini users can access the feature by clicking the “tools” option in the prompt bar, selecting “video,” and uploading their photo alongside a text description of how they want it to move. Audio descriptions can also be included for dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise, which Google says will be “perfectly synced with the visuals.” The finished videos are delivered as MP4 files at 720p resolution and a 16:9 landscape format.
