Veo 3 AI Video Generator
Veo 3 is Google’s video model that generates picture and sound together. Here you run its current version, Veo 3.1, through the API: 8-second clips from a prompt or a photo, in 16:9 or 9:16, with dialogue, effects and ambience in every clip. Draft on Fast, finish on Standard. PictureToVideo is independent and not affiliated with Google.

01Tier picker
Veo 3.1 Fast vs Standard
Same 8-second length, same aspect ratios, same native sound — very different prices. Set the clip you need and see both tiers side by side, with live credits, estimated waits and how many clips a Pro month buys. Then load the one that fits.
Clip length
8s — every Veo clip is 8 seconds on both tiers.
Resolution
Sound
Native audio, always on. Dialogue, effects and ambience in the same pass, included in the price — there is no silent option.

- Per second

- Est. wait

- 4 clips
For 8s at 1080p with audio, Standard costs 448 credits and Fast 168, so Standard is 2.7× the price.
Feed clips are watched small and fast. Fast keeps the same 8-second length, aspect ratios and native sound as Standard for a fraction of the credits.
Waits are estimates from the same formula as your task tray, not lab timings. “Per Pro month” = 2,200 credits ÷ this clip.

03Other models with sound
Veo 3 vs Kling 3.0
Every model in this table can render native audio, and all four run on the same credit balance here. Google positions Veo around sound-first realism; Kling’s edge is take length and shot control. Prices are for one 8-second 1080p clip with audio.

04Image to video
Veo 3 image to video
Switch the generator to Image and the model animates your photo, with native sound — same 8-second length and same credits as text to video.
How Veo image to video works
Upload a photo you have the rights to, then describe the motion, camera and sound. The model starts from your photo and keeps its framing, in 16:9 or 9:16.
Same price as text to video
Image to video costs the same per second on both tiers: 21 credits on Fast and 56 on Standard, sound included.
Write what changes
The photo already shows the subject and setting. Spend the prompt on movement, camera and sound: “she turns and laughs, waves crash behind her, slow push-in”.
Crop before you upload
Veo renders 16:9 or 9:16 only, so a square or 4:5 photo gets reframed. Crop it to the shape you want first, so faces and products stay in the shot.

Each card shows a prompt written for Veo’s sound, plus the settings. The stills are illustrations, not Veo renders — tap “Use this prompt” and render your own.
DialogueIllustration
A detective in a fedora and trench coat searches a rain-soaked graffiti alley at night, then looks into the camera and says: “He was here an hour ago.” Rain drums on his hat, distant siren, slow push-in

06Good fit · poor fit
When the Veo 3 video generator earns its price
Good fit
Spoken lines in one pass
A character who needs to say a short line on camera, with room tone and effects already mixed underneath.
Good fit
Sound-led social clips
Sizzle, splash, crowd, engine: short vertical clips where the sound is half the hook. Fast keeps them affordable.
Good fit
Atmosphere shots
Rain, forests, city nights and seaside ambience — establishing shots that feel finished without a separate sound edit.
Poor fit
Takes over 8 seconds
Every Veo request stops at 8 seconds. Kling 3.0 renders up to 15 seconds in one take and plans up to six shots in a prompt.
Poor fit
Square 1:1 posts
Veo renders 16:9 or 9:16 only. For native square output, use Kling 3.0 or Wan 2.5 instead of cropping.
Poor fit
Cheap silent drafts
A silent 5-second Kling 2.5 Turbo draft costs 30 credits; every Veo clip is 8 seconds with sound, so the cheapest Veo Fast clip costs 168.
07Prompt tips
Prompting for picture and sound
Put dialogue in quotes
Name the speaker, then the line: The old man says: “Not today.” Short lines land best — an 8-second clip holds one or two sentences, not a monologue.
Describe the soundscape
Veo listens to sound words. Add two or three: rain on a tin roof, distant traffic, a kettle starting to whistle. Leave them out and you get generic ambience.
One shot per prompt
Veo renders a single continuous shot. Write one subject, one action and one camera move; plan cuts as separate clips and assemble them in your editor.
Draft on Fast, finish on Standard
Lock framing and timing on Fast at 21 credits per second with audio, then re-run the keeper on Standard at 56. The prompt carries over — only the tier changes.
08Cost per second
What Veo 3 costs here
Charged per generated second, with sound included in the rate. Failed renders are refunded automatically, and the generator always shows the exact total before you click Generate.

09Independent
An independent site, not Google
- PictureToVideo calls the model through an API provider. We are independent and not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Google.
- We use no Google logos, screenshots or promotional footage. The stills on this page are illustrations, labelled as such.
- In the generator, Veo 3.1 Fast is the Cinema Fast tier and Veo 3.1 the Cinema tier; this page names the model behind each.
- Nothing here is labelled Veo 4. We add a model only when its API can actually be called.
- Google’s safety filters and our own content policy both apply: no sexual content, no real people without consent.
- Specs and prices are rechecked when a provider changes them; the date sits under the spec table.
01What is the difference between Veo 3 and Veo 3.1?
Veo 3, unveiled by Google in May 2025, was the first Veo to generate sound with the picture. The 3.1 update followed in October 2025 with richer audio, stronger prompt adherence and more control from reference images and frames, and it is the version API providers sell now. When people search for Veo 3 or veo3 today, that 3.1 release is what they can actually run.
02Should I pick the Fast or the Standard tier?
Start on Fast. It costs 21 credits per second against 56 for Standard, sound included, and it renders the same length and aspect ratios. Move to Standard for the final take of a close-up or a spoken line. Only Fast offers 4K here. The tier picker above compares both for your exact settings.
03Can I use Veo 3 for free?
Not on PictureToVideo: there is no free tier, and Veo’s API price is among the highest we pay. The cheapest Veo clip here — 8 seconds with sound, Fast at 720p — costs 168 credits; the $2.99 starter pack is 200 credits. Google sometimes offers Veo through its own apps and plans; check Google’s current terms for that.
04How do I make a Veo 3 character speak?
Sound is always on, so just write who speaks and the exact words in quotes, for example: The barista says: “Your order’s ready.” Keep it to one or two short sentences for an 8-second clip, describe the voice if it matters, and add background sounds so the line sits in a real space.
05Is there a Veo 4?
There is no Veo 4 we can call through an API, so nothing on this site is labelled Veo 4 — the newest Veo here is Veo 3.1. If Google ships a newer Veo with public API access, we will add it with its own price per second and say so on this page rather than relabel an older model.
06Can Veo 3 do image to video?
Yes. Switch the generator to image to video, upload a photo you have the rights to and describe the motion and sound. It starts from your photo and keeps its framing in 16:9 or 9:16. Photos of real people need their consent, and our content rules apply to every upload.
07Does Veo image to video cost more than text to video?
No. Veo image to video is billed per second exactly like text to video: 21 credits per second on Fast and 56 on Standard, sound included. An 8-second 1080p Fast clip from a photo, with audio, is 168 credits.
08Is this Google’s official Veo 3 website?
No. PictureToVideo is an independent studio that calls Veo 3.1 through an API provider. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Google, and you don’t need a Google account here. You pay in PictureToVideo credits, and the same balance works for Kling, Wan, Hailuo and Grok models.
