What is Image to Video?

Image to Video uses your uploaded photos to control the visual output. The model generates motion and audio while preserving character identity, style, or composition from your references.

How many images can I upload?

Multiple reference images are supported. Use different images to control different aspects—character, style, scene.

Will my character stay consistent?

Yes. Veo 3.1 preserves character identity across all frames. Upload a clear front-facing reference for best results.

Does it include audio?

Yes. Generated videos include synchronized ambient sounds, effects, and dialogue based on your prompt.

How is this different from Text to Video?

Text to Video generates everything from scratch. Image to Video uses your photos to control visual identity while generating motion.

Key Features

Multi-Image Reference

Upload multiple images to guide your video's visual direction. Use one for character reference, another for style, a third for scene composition—the model combines them intelligently.

Character Consistency

Your character looks identical throughout the video. Upload a clear reference—facial features, proportions, clothing details stay locked across all frames, poses, and camera angles.

Realistic Motion

Static images come alive with natural movement. Hair flows, fabric shifts, expressions change—all while maintaining visual identity from your reference photos.

Native Audio Sync

Generated video includes synchronized audio—footsteps, ambient sounds, dialogue. Audio matches the motion and scene automatically based on your prompt.
