The new model, available on the mobile app\u2019s Create tab, will allow users in the U.S. to turn their still images into video clips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Photos already offers video generation through its recently added \u201cPhoto to video\u201d feature, but the company says the addition of Veo 3 enhances that functionality with higher-quality video. The launch also represents how the company is working to bring its latest AI tech to consumers through its products \u2014 Google Photos, for instance, had <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/07\/23\/google-photos-adds-ai-features-for-remixing-photos-in-different-styles-turning-pics-into-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">over 1.5 billion monthly active users<\/a> as of May 2025.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"680\" width=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google-photos-veo-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3042346\"  \/>Image Credits:Google (screenshot)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/05\/20\/google-debuts-an-ai-powered-video-tool-called-flow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Introduced<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/05\/20\/googles-veo-3-can-generate-videos-and-soundtracks-to-go-along-with-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">May<\/a> at its I\/O developer conference, Google brought Veo 3, which added image-to-video generation, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/07\/10\/google-adds-image-to-video-generation-capability-to-veo-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">to its Gemini app<\/a> in July, making it available on its AI Ultra and AI Pro subscription plans. On those plans, users could generate three videos per day, which would carry both visible and invisible watermarks to identify the videos as being AI generated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Google Photos, the company imagines users bringing memories to life, or even animating older photos. The existing image-to-video feature is powered by Veo 2 and lets users select a photo from their gallery and choose one of two prompts for either \u201csubtle movements\u201d or a surprise animation by tapping an \u201cI\u2019m feeling lucky\u201d button. The model then generates a six-second clip you could share with others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Veo 3, the feature will remain free with a limited number of generations available, says Google. AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers will have access to more generations. However, it won\u2019t support audio and its videos will be four seconds long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new photo-to-video feature is available within the Create hub, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/07\/23\/google-photos-adds-ai-features-for-remixing-photos-in-different-styles-turning-pics-into-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a new section in the Google Photos app<\/a> where users can explore creative tools and features powered by AI. In addition to Veo 3, these include a remix option to change a photo\u2019s style; make a collage; put together montages from your galleries; create moving, 3D photos called \u201ccinematic\u201d photos; and a tool to make GIFs from pics.<\/p>\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOctober 27-29, 2025\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google\u2019s latest video-generation model, Veo 3, is coming to Google Photos.
