Google Veo 3 Now Lets You Turn Photos Into Videos with Gemini AI
Google’s Veo 3 AI model, unveiled at I/O 2025, is now available in over 150 countries, including India. As part of the Gemini AI Pro and Ultra plans, Veo 3 introduces a powerful new feature — the ability to generate 8-second videos from your photos.
According to Google, users can “create short videos in minutes in Gemini Apps” by simply describing their vision. These AI-generated videos can include synced audio and are ideal for fun, sharing, or visualizing creative ideas.
How to Create AI Videos from Photos with Gemini:
To use this feature, you’ll need:
- A personal Google account
- An active subscription to Gemini AI Pro or Ultra
- You must be 18 years or older
Videos are typically 8 seconds long and take 1–2 minutes to process. Only upload images you have the rights to use.
Availability and Limitations:
- The feature is currently not available in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the UK.
- Even with a Pro or Ultra plan, access may be limited as Google gradually rolls out support.
In India, Veo 3 is bundled with the Gemini AI Pro plan, priced at ₹1,950/month. It competes directly with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus, available at ₹1,900/month. Users can access Gemini via mobile apps or the web.
While this feature is limited to paid plans for now, Google may extend access to all personal accounts in the future.
