Your photo, in motion.
Turn a still photo into a short video by describing how the subject and camera should move. Start with a portrait, product shot or scene you already have.
A clear source image gives the scene its subject and composition. Your prompt can add a camera move, natural gestures or a change in light without editing frames by hand.

Guide the look.
Use reference images to guide the subject, setting or visual style of a new video. Describe the action separately so the references support the idea.
Add up to two images in the workspace and write what should happen on screen. Use this when a color palette, character or environment matters as much as movement.

Set the beginning of a short video with a first frame. Add an ending frame for more direction, then describe how the scene should move between them.

Questions before you create?
A few answers before your first generation.
What can I create?
Create short videos from a prompt, an image, visual references, or start and end frames. Generate images from text, or use your own images to guide a new look. Video and image modes keep the relevant inputs and settings together.
Which models can I choose?
The homepage quick creator offers Veo 3.1 Fast, Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2. Open the model studio to choose from all connected video and image model families, with the credit cost shown before generation.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Add JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 10 MB each. Text / Image to video accepts an optional image; references and frames accept up to two images, and image-to-image accepts up to six. Use images you have permission to upload.
How is the cost shown?
The creation button shows a credit icon and the current estimate for your selected model and settings. Exploring the homepage or continuing to the workspace does not start a generation. You review your inputs and submit the generation in the workspace.
Do I need to sign in?
You can explore, write a prompt, add images and choose settings first. When you continue, your draft opens in the matching workspace and you are asked to sign in. You stay in control of when a generation starts.
Will my draft stay with me?
Your prompt, settings and selected images are saved locally in the same browser tab for up to 24 hours. Continue in that tab while signing in. Drafts are not synced to another device, and an unavailable saved image can be added again in the workspace.

one yours.
