Google Photos lets US users animate images for free with Veo 3

Google Photos now allows users in the US to transform still images into four-second videos for free. The Verge reports that the feature uses Google’s Veo 3 AI model and is accessible via the “Create” tab. Users can choose between “Subtle movements” or an “I’m feeling lucky” option to animate their pictures. According to Google spokesperson Michael Marconi, Veo 3 replaces the previous version and provides higher resolution and fidelity. While the full Veo 3 model can generate realistic sound, this feature is not included for free users. Free accounts are limited to an unspecified number of daily creations, while subscribers get more. The tool also allows restyling photos into 3D animations and creating video montages based on keywords.
