Features
Google Veo 3 — Image-to-Video (I2V) Model
Veo 3 I2V is the standard image-to-video version of Google DeepMind’s Veo 3 generative model. It brings still images to life, creating cinematic 1080p videos with smooth, realistic motion, consistent lighting, and synchronized native audio.
🎬 Why it stands out
-
From Image to Motion Transform a single image into a natural, dynamic video sequence while preserving its original composition and style.
-
Cinematic Realism Produces high-fidelity motion with natural lighting, accurate perspective, and fluid camera transitions.
-
Native Audio Generation Automatically generates synchronized sound—including ambient noise, effects, and light music—perfectly aligned with the visuals.
-
Dialogue & Lip-Sync Enables speaking characters or realistic expressions, ideal for storytelling, marketing, and short-form content.
-
Consistent Subject & Style Retains the identity, color tone, and visual integrity of your input image throughout the motion sequence.

🚀 How to Use
-
Upload an Image Choose a clear, high-quality still image—this defines the subject, framing, and overall style.
-
Write a Prompt Describe the desired motion, mood, and camera movement.
Example: “Slow cinematic zoom out as wind moves through the trees and sunlight flickers across the leaves.”
-
Adjust Settings Select the video duration (up to 8 seconds) and output resolution (up to 1080p).
-
Generate the Video Submit your prompt and image—Veo 3 I2V automatically creates motion, lighting, and audio.
-
Preview & Download Review the result, refine the prompt if needed, and download the final MP4.
💡 Pro Tips
- Use bright, high-contrast images for clearer motion and lighting.
- Keep prompts focused on a single subject or action for best stability.
- Add camera directions like “tracking shot,” “slow pan,” or “handheld style” to control movement.
- Specify lighting and mood (e.g., bright daylight, soft sunset glow).
- Avoid conflicting motion requests to maintain smooth results.
📝 Notes
- Actual processing time depends on queue load and resolution.
- Optimized for cinematic shorts, ads, and social media clips.
- Ensure your uploaded image is clear, accessible, and legally usable.
- Please ensure your prompts comply with Google’s Safety Guidelines — if an error occurs, revise your prompt and try again.
