Veo 3.1 Lite - Image to Video

Try Veo 3.1 Lite - Image to Video in the Workbench

Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.

Model ID: google-veo-3-1-lite Veo 3.1 Lite is Google’s image-to-video model designed for practical, high-quality animation from a single input image and text motion prompt. It supports controllable duration, aspect ratio, and resolution while balancing quality and cost for everyday creative and production workflows.

Example request

Use the Workbench as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the API tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.

Sync
Async
Async with SSE

This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer Async or Async with SSE for anything beyond quick experimentation.See the video generation reference for more details.
