Veo Video
Turn a prompt or photo into an 8-second AI video with sound, powered by Veo 3.1.
What is Veo Video?
Veo Video is an independent, browser-based AI video generator built around Google DeepMind's Veo 3.1 model family. It turns text prompts, still photos, reference images, or existing clips into short videos with synchronized sound, including dialogue, sound effects, and ambient audio. The service offers three Veo tiers — Veo 3.1 Lite, Veo 3.1 Fast, and the full Veo 3.1 — that produce the same 8-second clip at different quality and credit costs, plus MiniMax H3 Max models for longer takes up to 15 seconds. A built-in Agent mode lets you refine an idea conversationally before generating. The workflow is designed to fit into creative production. Creators can start with Veo 3.1 Lite to draft cheaply, then run a successful prompt on a more detailed model for the final output. Start and end frame controls allow precise transformations such as a product reveal, while aspect ratio and resolution options cover 9:16 vertical social clips and 16:9 widescreen up to 4K. Because audio is generated at the same time as the picture, clips arrive with voices, footsteps, rain, or whatever sound the prompt asks for. Veo Video targets short-form creators, marketers, filmmakers, and educators. The platform provides 30 free credits to new accounts, and blocked generations are refunded, making it low-risk to experiment. It is not affiliated with Google; Veo, Gemini, and Nano Banana are trademarks of Google LLC. For users who need more than 8 seconds, MiniMax H3 Max provides longer single takes with synced audio.

How to use Veo Video?
Pick a model and a starting point
Select Veo 3.1 Lite by default or switch models. Choose text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, or video-to-video, and upload a start frame and optional end frame.
Write the shot, including the sound
Describe the subject, action, and camera move, then describe the audio you want. Put spoken lines in quotes; English prompts give the most predictable results.
Set the format
Choose 16:9 for YouTube and the web or 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok, then select 720p, 1080p, or 4K.
Generate, review, and refine
Watch the clip with sound on, adjust only the parts of the prompt that were off, and run it again as a new take.

- Supports vertical 9:16 and widescreen 16:9 formats up to 4K.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Veo Video free to try?
New accounts get 30 free credits, enough for one Veo 3.1 Lite clip at 720p or one MiniMax H3 Max Turbo draft at 480P. After that you can buy a plan or a credit pack.
Is this Veo 3 or Veo 3.1?
It is Veo 3.1. Google has replaced the original Veo 3 with the Veo 3.1 family, and all three Veo tiers on Veo Video run on Veo 3.1.
How long are Veo videos?
Every Veo 3.1 generation is an 8-second clip. For a single take of up to 15 seconds, use MiniMax H3 Max or MiniMax H3 Max Turbo.
Do Veo 3.1 videos include sound?
Yes. Veo 3.1 generates dialogue, sound effects, and ambient sound together with the video. Describe the sound you want in the prompt and put spoken lines in quotes.
What happens if my prompt is blocked?
Safety filters block some requests, such as real public figures, minors, or sexual content. If a generation is blocked, the credits go back to your balance and you can adjust the prompt and try again.
Can I animate a photo of a person?
Yes, for photos of adults. Google's rules allow image-to-video only with adult subjects, so photos of children are blocked.
Can I make images as well?
Yes. You can open the studio to create images with Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2.5 Flare, or P-Image, which is useful for making the first frame of a video.
Is Veo Video made by Google?
No. Veo Video is an independent platform that gives you access to Google's Veo 3.1 models along with other AI models. Veo is a trademark of Google LLC.
