Google's Gemini now transforms static photos into 8-second videos with AI-generated audio. Limited to Pro/Ultra subscribers with daily caps.

One aspect of AI that is rapidly developing is video generation, and Google has developed its Veo 3 model to focus on that. The tech giant has just added a new trick to Gemini and Veo, and that's the power to generate videos, eight seconds long, from a still image. It's not a new concept, but this is arguably the best execution of it yet.

Starting today, Google is bringing image-to-video generation to the Gemini app. The feature comes courtesy of the company's Veo 3 model, which Google began rolling out more broadly to AI Pro users last week after it was initially only available to AI Ultra subscribers.
