What is Google Veo?
Veo is Google DeepMind's family of video generation models. It turns a scene you describe, or a photo you upload, into a short video. According to Google, Veo 3 was the first Veo version to generate sound together with the picture: street noise, birdsong, sound effects, and dialogue between characters come out with the video.
The family has grown quickly, and as of September 2026 Google is replacing Veo in the Gemini app with its newer video model, Gemini Omni. The table below lists the versions, when they were announced, and which ones you can use here.
Sources: the Veo 3 announcement, Veo 3.1 announcement, Veo 3.1 Lite announcement, and Gemini Omni announcement, checked in September 2026. Klakix isn't affiliated with Google; we use these models through an API.
| Version | Announced | What it added | On Klakix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3 | May 20, 2025 | Sound generated with the picture: ambient sound, effects, dialogue | No |
| Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast | Oct 15, 2025 | Richer audio, better image to video, first and last frame, scene extension | No |
| Veo 3.1 Lite | Mar 31, 2026 | The lowest-cost Veo: under half the cost of Veo 3.1 Fast at the same speed, according to Google | Yes |
| Gemini Omni Flash | May 19, 2026 | The model replacing Veo in the Gemini app, edited by chatting | Yes (version 1.1) |
| Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash | Aug 2026 | Scene extension, first and last frame, 4K upscaling | Yes |
Is Veo 3 free?
Not through Google's own products. The free Gemini plan doesn't include video generation; video starts with the Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscriptions. The Gemini API that developers use has no free tier for the Veo 3.1 models either (Gemini API pricing, checked in September 2026).
In May 2026 Google announced that Gemini Omni Flash is free to use in YouTube Shorts and the YouTube Create app. That route does make video, but the model is Omni, not Veo, and which features you get depends on your country.
Klakix doesn't offer free video either: we pay the AI provider for every generation. The 20 free credits you get after verifying your email work for voiceovers only, and video tools unlock after your first credit purchase. With Veo 3.1 Lite, a 4-second 720p video with sound costs 20 credits and a 6-second silent 720p video costs 18. The smallest option is the Mini pack, 75 credits for $5. Before you buy, you can watch unedited Veo videos we made on the examples page. No subscription required.
How much does Veo cost on Google?
Google charges for video in two ways: monthly Google AI subscriptions for the Gemini app, and per-second Gemini API pricing for developers. Plan prices vary by country, so check Google's subscriptions page for yours. The table shows what each plan includes for video, as listed on that page in October 2026.
In the Gemini API, with sound on, Veo 3.1 costs $0.40 per second; Veo 3.1 Fast costs $0.10 per second at 720p and $0.12 at 1080p; Veo 3.1 Lite costs $0.05 per second at 720p and $0.08 at 1080p. The API is built for developers, so you need to write code to use it.
| Plan | Video generation |
|---|---|
| Free | None |
| Google AI Plus | Gemini Omni Flash, 200 Google Flow credits |
| Google AI Pro | Gemini Omni Flash, 1,000 Flow credits, a limited Veo 3.1 Lite trial |
| Google AI Ultra | Gemini Omni Flash, Veo 3.1 video generation, 10,000 or 25,000 Flow credits |
How many credits is Veo 3.1 Lite on Klakix?
You don't need a subscription: buy credits and spend them as you go. With Veo 3.1 Lite the cost depends on duration, quality, and sound, and silent clips are cheaper. An 8-second 720p video with sound costs 40 credits, about $1.45–$2.67 depending on the pack you buy.
With Gemini Omni Flash, a 5-second video costs 15 credits as a 360p draft, 50 in 720p, 75 in 1080p, and 150 in 4K. The exact cost shows on the Generate video button before you start. If a generation doesn't finish, the credits go back to your account automatically, and credits never expire. See pricing for packs and plans.
| Duration | 720p with sound | 720p silent | 1080p with sound | 1080p silent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 seconds | 20 credits | 12 credits | 32 credits | 20 credits |
| 6 seconds | 30 credits | 18 credits | 48 credits | 30 credits |
| 8 seconds | 40 credits | 24 credits | 64 credits | 40 credits |
How to use Veo 3.1
No Google account or subscription needed. Here's how to make your first Veo 3.1 Lite video on Klakix:
- Sign up and verify your email. Your 20 free credits work for voiceovers only, so buy credits for video (the smallest pack is 75 credits).
- Open Text to video and pick Google Veo 3.1 Lite in the Model step. If you have a photo, choose the same model in Image to video and upload it. Add a second photo as the End frame and the model animates the transition between the two.
- In What do you want to see?, describe the scene: who's in it, where they are, what they're doing, how the camera moves, and what you should hear. With Enhance prompt on, your text becomes the detailed description the model understands best.
- In Settings, pick the aspect ratio (16:9 landscape or 9:16 vertical), duration (4, 6, or 8 seconds), and quality (720p or 1080p). Turn off Add sound for a silent clip that costs less.
- Under Advanced settings you can list what to avoid in What to avoid, or enter a seed number; the same seed and settings give similar results.
- Press Generate video. It takes a few minutes and keeps running in the background. The finished MP4 is in your Library.
How long are Veo 3 videos?
The Veo 3.1 family makes 4, 6, or 8 second clips per generation, and Google's Veo 3.1 Lite announcement lists the same three lengths. You can pick the same three durations for Veo 3.1 Lite here. Gemini Omni Flash makes 5, 8, or 10 seconds.
For a longer scene, look at Wan or Seedance, which go up to 30 seconds in one generation, or join several Veo clips in your own editor. Longer clips cost more, so it's cheaper to try an idea at the shortest length and extend it once you like it.
Can Veo speak other languages?
English works best. According to Google's Veo documentation, English is fully supported for speech and other languages haven't been evaluated, so dialogue in another language can come out with uneven pronunciation and lip sync.
Veo's own audio is great for ambient sound and effects. If you need a person to say an exact script, Talking photo generates the voice separately and lip-syncs it to the face.
Veo 3.1 Lite or Gemini Omni Flash?
Both are Google models and both generate sound with the video. Duration, quality, and budget decide which one fits:
| Veo 3.1 Lite | Gemini Omni Flash | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 4, 6, 8 seconds | 5, 8, 10 seconds |
| Quality | 720p, 1080p | 360p, 720p, 1080p, 4K |
| Aspect ratio | Landscape and vertical | Landscape and vertical |
| Sound | On or off, silent costs less | Always generated with the video |
| Image to video | First frame, optional end frame | First frame, optional end frame |
| 8 seconds, 720p | 40 credits (with sound) | 80 credits |
| Best for | Trying ideas cheaply, short social clips | 10-second clips or 4K output |
How to use Veo 3 in Google Flow
Flow (flow.google.com) is Google's own studio for making video with Veo, open to personal Google accounts for users 18 and older. As of October 2026, Flow offers the Veo 3.1 family instead of Veo 3: Veo 3.1 Lite, Veo 3.1 Fast, and Veo 3.1 Quality, plus Gemini Omni Flash.
Flow gives everyone 50 credits a day, and unused credits don't roll over. According to Flow's credit table, an 8-second Veo 3.1 Quality video costs 100 credits, so an account without a subscription can't make a Quality video with its daily credits. Veo 3.1 Lite (10 credits for subscribers below Ultra) and Fast (20 credits) are listed for subscribers. The video model you can use with the free daily credits is Gemini Omni Flash. We read the table on Oct 4, 2026.
To make a Veo video in Flow: go to flow.google.com, start a new project, open the prompt settings to pick the model (Veo 3.1 Lite, Fast, or Quality), aspect ratio, and length, describe the scene, and generate. You can lengthen a clip with Extend and arrange clips in Scenebuilder.
If you'd rather use Veo 3.1 Lite without a Google subscription, you can pay per generation on Klakix: an 8-second 720p video with sound costs 40 credits.
Strengths
What it does well
- Generates sound with the picture, so ambient sound and effects match the video.
- According to Google, Veo 3.1 Lite costs under half as much as Veo 3.1 Fast at the same speed.
- Silent clips are an option: an 8-second silent 720p video costs 24 credits.
- Image to video can take an end frame, and the model animates the transition between the two frames.
- Gemini Omni Flash goes up to 10 seconds and 4K resolution.
Limits
What to watch out for
- Veo 3.1 Lite makes 8 seconds at most per generation, so longer scenes mean joining clips.
- Only English is fully supported for speech; for other languages, record the voiceover separately.
- Only landscape (16:9) and vertical (9:16) are available, no square.
- Google blocks realistic depictions of well-known people, so you can't generate from celebrity photos.

Is Veo 3 free?
Google doesn't offer a free plan for Veo; the free Gemini plan doesn't include video. Klakix doesn't offer free video either: the 20 free credits at signup work for voiceovers only. Once you buy credits, a 4-second 720p Veo 3.1 Lite video with sound costs 20 credits.
Can I use Veo 3 for free in Flow?
Flow gives everyone 50 credits a day, but according to its October 2026 credit table an 8-second Veo 3.1 Quality video costs 100 credits and credits don't roll over, while Veo 3.1 Lite and Fast are listed for subscribers.

Veo 3.1 Lite is already Google's lowest-cost Veo. On Klakix you can also compare it with Hailuo, Wan, and Seedance in the same account: each shows its credit cost before you generate, so you can try one idea on two models and keep the better result.
