Does Google VEO 3 Have Image to Video? Yes, and It’s Amazing!
July 2025 was a HUGE month for Veo 3. Initially when Veo 3 was launched by Google in May 2025, it already became viral owing to its capability to produce AI videos of a degree of realism that we had never seen before.
But there was one major ingredient missing – Consistency between scenes!
Consistency between scenes cannot be achieved by typing in random prompts to generate a video. You need an image to act as a starting frame. Google quickly introduced this feature.
1st Week of July 2025 – Google Introduces Image to Video Capability in Veo 3
So in the first week of July 2025, Google introduced image to video inside Veo 3. But initially, it was only available to the users in the US, via the Google Flow app.
A Week Later It Comes to Gemini With the Veo 3 Fast (Lite Version of Veo 3)
But a week later, Google introduced the image to video feature even within Gemini, which could be used in any country where the Gemini AI app was available. So you could generate Veo 3 videos right from the Gemini app itself (both web and mobile).
However, there was a catch. The Veo 3 inside Gemini was actually Veo 3 Fast, like a lite version of Veo 3. But it’s still very good, as you will soon see in a demo video at the end of this article.
How to Access Veo 3 Image to Video for Free
The Gemini move was very significant because for the first time, Veo 3 became extremely affordable. Because you can simply subscribe to the Google AI Pro Plan for around $20/month and get access to it. Prior to that you had to access Veo 3 via the Google AI Ultra plan which was over $200/month, making it really inaccessible to most people.
In fact the best part is that you can actually access Veo 3 (Fast) for free for 30 days by subscribing to the Google AI Pro plan, as you get the first 30 days free. We have shown how to do this in this video.
You Can Also Access Veo 3 Image to Video in Almost Any All-in-One AI Apps
There are a lot of third-party AI apps which acquire the license to use Veo 3 within their interface. Some of the popular apps where you can use the image to video feature in Veo 3 are Krea AI and Freepik AI.
But we highly recommend Higgsfield AI. The reason for this is that Higgsfield itself is one of the best AI video generating tools. And it still allows you to use both Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast withing its interface too. You will see an example of this in the demo video below.
Demo of Veo3 Image to Video – It’s Breath-Taking
Recently we created an in-depth tutorial on how to create a realistic AI commericial video using Veo 3. For this, we extensiviely relied on the new image to video capability of Veo 3. You can watch this video below:
So is Veo 3 the Best After This Feature Has Been Added?
Absolutely YES! This was the only feature lacking in Veo 3. Its rivals – like Kling AI, Runway AI, Sora AI, etc already had the image to video feature since a long time. But the issue was they could not generate videos that looked as real as the Veo 3 ones.
So once Veo 3 got the image to video featues, it just blew away all competition. Because not only could you keep the scenes consistent, you could do so via generating the audio for the video just by writing a prompt. That’s because Veo 3 is unique as it incorporates audio right from the prompt itself whereas in the other tools, you have to generate the audio (especially the voice-over) by performing an additional task of lip syncing.
Conclusion
This new feature opens up so many possibilities. You will be able to create compositions, scenes and characters which are consistent. This would mean creating longer videos, even films, relatively easily.
And since it’s also available for Veo 3 Fast (which is cheaper than Veo 3), it would also mean you will be able to do all this at an affordable budget.
