Input
The text prompt describing how the image should be animated

PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF · 20 MiB maximum

URL of the input image to animate. Should be 720p or higher resolution in 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratio. If the image is not in 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratio, it will be cropped to fit.
The resolution of the generated video. Allowed values: 720p, 1080p.
The duration of the generated video. Allowed values: 4, 6, 8.
Whether to generate audio for the video.
Whether to automatically attempt to fix prompts that fail content policy or other validation checks by rewriting them.
The aspect ratio of the generated image. Allowed values: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16.

API README

Veo 3 Image To Video

google/veo-3/image-to-video animates a supplied image into a cinematic sequence while retaining its subject, design, and opening composition. Veo 3 emphasizes prompt adherence, cinematic composition, and believable physical motion, allowing written film language to shape both what happens and how the camera observes it; it can also generate synchronized dialogue, effects, and ambience as part of the same sequence. This combination makes the model a practical choice when the creative outcome depends on those qualities rather than on a generic media conversion.

For production work with google/veo-3/image-to-video, the image-anchored animation workflow suits storyboards, campaign films, product moments, narrative shots, and visual concepts that need coherent motion rather than isolated animated frames. The result is most reliable when the source material and creative brief clearly describe the intended subject, progression, visual or sonic character, and the qualities that must remain unchanged.

Highlights

Image-anchored animation preserves the source visual while adding directed subject and camera motion.

Physical motion coherence gives objects, characters, and environments more believable behavior.

Visual continuity maintains subjects and scene logic across the generated sequence.

Native audio generation coordinates dialogue, ambience, and sound effects with the visual action.

When to Use

✅ Good fit❌ Consider alternatives
A still image should anchor the video's subject and compositionThe whole scene should be invented from text alone
A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipelineA synchronous, interactive editor is essential
The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or formatThe project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema
Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structureExact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory
A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverableEditable source layers or a native project file are required

Prompt Guide

For image-conditioned generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
