The photo-to-video feature in Google Photos now uses the new Veo 3 AI video generation model to turn still images into videos: Here’s where you’ll find it.
Google updated the Google Photos experience a few months ago to add a new «Create» tab that gives users fast access to new AI editing abilities, including a tool that lets them turn photos into videos. On Wednesday, the company announced a big update for Google Photos, adding support for Veo 3, Google’s best AI video generation model. Veo 3 will handle photo-to-video edits in Google Photos, which means users will get higher-quality clips than before. Initially, the older Veo 2 video generation model handled these animation effects.
The upgrade is logical, considering that Google first brought its Veo 3 photo-to-video AI editing tool to Gemini before the Google Photos received it. The Gemini feature uses Veo 3 and a text prompt to animate photos. The photo-to-video feature in Google Photos isn’t as complex as in Gemini.
