Google Photos upgrades its image-to-video feature with Veo 3


Google Photos' photo-to-video feature is being upgraded with Google's latest video-generation model, Veo 3.

The new model, available on the mobile app’s “Create” tab, will allow users in the U.S. to turn their still images into video clips. The launch also represents how the company is working to bring its latest AI tech to consumers through its products — Google Photos, for instance, had over 1.5 billion monthly active users as of May 2025. The existing image-to-video feature is powered by Veo 2, and let users select a photo from their gallery and choose one of two prompts for either “subtle movements,” or a surprise animation by tapping an “I’m feeling lucky” button.
