Google just launched a new Gemini AI feature that lets you transform photos into video clips. The new photo-to-video capability is powered by Google’s Veo 3 video model, and it can transform reference images into eight-second videos complete with AI-generated audio, including background noises, environmental sounds, and speech.

One aspect of AI that is rapidly developing is video generation, and Google has developed its Veo 3 model to focus on that. The tech giant has just added a new trick to Gemini and Veo, and that's the power to generate videos, eight seconds long, from a still image. It's not a new concept, but this is arguably the best execution of it yet.

Gemini now lets users generate videos from a single image.
