The video-generation model Veo 3 has come to Google Photos, bringing even more AI tomfoolery to the platform. This allows users to do all sorts of wacky things. First and foremost, the pre-existing photo to video feature has been significantly improved. Google says that it can now be used to turn “still images into even higher-quality clips.”
There’s also a tool called Remix that transforms photos into various styles, like anime drawings, comic book illustrations, 3D animations and more. This is a popular use case for image generators. You’ve probably seen those Studio Ghibli-inspired images across the internet.
Veo 3 brings a new Collage tool that makes it easy to pick multiple photos and select a layout. There’s even a simple image editor here that can be accessed directly from the collage maker.
The Highlight tool creates visual montages based on search prompts, complete with music. There’s also something called Cinematic Photos, which creates 3D renderings of pre-existing photos. Many of these tools can be combined to create unique images and videos.
Google Photos with Veo 3 integration is available to US customers right now, and these tools can all be accessed in the new Create tab. Users only get a limited number of image generations each day, with more generations available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
This is just the latest platform that Google is sloppin’ up with Veo 3. The company recently brought it to YouTube.
