Introducing Google Veo 3 Image-to-Video on WaveSpeedAI: Transform Still Images into Cinematic Videos with Native Audio

We’re thrilled to announce that Google Veo 3 Image-to-Video is now available on WaveSpeedAI. This flagship model from Google DeepMind represents a quantum leap in AI video generation—transforming your still images into stunning 1080p videos complete with synchronized audio, including dialogue, sound effects, and ambient soundscapes.

As Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, declared at Google I/O 2025: “For the first time, we’re emerging from the silent era of video generation.” With over 40 million videos generated since its release, Veo 3 has proven itself as the industry’s most advanced image-to-video solution.

What is Google Veo 3 Image-to-Video?

Google Veo 3 I2V is the standard image-to-video variant of Google DeepMind’s third-generation Veo model. Unlike its predecessor Veo 2, which was limited to silent clips, Veo 3 introduces a groundbreaking capability: native audio-video generation. The model understands raw pixels from generated videos and automatically synchronizes sound with the visual content.

This isn’t just video generation—it’s complete audiovisual content creation from a single image. The model preserves your input image’s composition, style, and subject identity while bringing it to life with natural motion, realistic lighting, and perfectly matched audio.

Key Features

Native Audio Generation: Veo 3 generates synchronized dialogue, ambient sounds, sound effects, and background music natively—no post-production audio work required
1080p Cinematic Quality: Produces high-fidelity video at up to 1080p resolution with 24fps, featuring polished lighting, smooth motion, and natural details like reflections and motion blur
Lip-Sync Accuracy: Characters can speak with realistic mouth movements perfectly matched to generated dialogue, ideal for storytelling and marketing content
Physics Simulation Excellence: Motion and environmental interactions feel remarkably realistic, with accurate perspective and fluid camera transitions
Style Preservation: Maintains the original image’s color tone, visual integrity, and subject identity throughout the motion sequence
Flexible Output: Supports both landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) aspect ratios, with MP4 output including stereo audio

How Veo 3 Compares to the Competition

In benchmark comparisons against other leading AI video generators, Veo 3 consistently stands out:

Feature	Google Veo 3	OpenAI Sora	Runway Gen-3
Native Audio	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No (lip-sync tools only)
Max Resolution	1080p (4K for some users)	1080p	1280×768 (upscalable)
Video Duration	8 seconds	Up to 20 seconds	5-10 seconds
Physics Realism	Excellent	Good	Good

The native audio capability gives Veo 3 a decisive advantage. While Sora and Runway require manual audio addition in post-production—introducing friction and sync issues—Veo 3 delivers complete audiovisual content in a single generation. This removes an entire production layer and makes professional-quality video creation accessible to everyone.
