Turn images into amazing videos and bring your projects to life! Find out how!

Do you have a hard time bringing your projects or presentations to life?

In August 2025, Google announced the launch of the image-to-video feature with Veo 3 in Google Vids, which will help you solve that.

Turning images into video helps us create visually appealing content with very little effort. What used to require a design team, editors and professional media creators, we can now put together great content on our own, which reduces dependencies, expands creative possibilities and makes communication easier. Note: it doesn't replace those professions.

What can you do with image transformation using VEO 3 inside Vids?

With this launch, you can upload an image to Google Vids and enter a prompt to convert it into a high-quality, eight-second video with sound. It uses Veo 3 to create content, turning static photos into short videos based on your instructions.

Imagine you're putting together a presentation inside Google Vids and need content to engage your audience. You don't have to leave Vids to go to Gemini to create a video and then insert it into the presentation. Right inside Vids, you upload the image and generate the animation. See how it's done in the demonstration below.

How can this feature help with your routine and your projects?

This feature can help you generate content that holds attention and engages people to get the necessary message across. A video generally holds attention, and makes it easier for a wide range of people to absorb and understand.

Here are some general use cases:

The world of AI opens up a wide range of uses, and you'll find the one that fits your needs. For inspiration, here are a few use cases:

• Promotion: turn product images into short videos for social media.
• Social media engagement: create posts from existing brand images.
• Animated menu: videos from photos of dishes to whet people's appetite.
• Instructions: use process videos to generate short videos for corporate TV.
• Training: turn process-flow images into explainer videos.
• Presentations: create an intro/closing scene for a presentation.
• Demonstration: animate images of a product in development (e.g., packaging).
• Children's stories: you can use photos and animations to tell stories to your kids.
• Fun (viral) videos: from photos, to interact with your audience.

Here are some ways to use it in your projects:

• Bring projects to life with dynamic creation of prototypes, mockups and screens.
• Create a thank-you video for the team with photos of the team and its achievements.
• Convert charts and dashboards into videos for executive meetings.
• Use instruction images to create a mini animated tutorial.
• Animate software screenshots to simulate the user flow.
• Convert timeline or roadmap images into a timeline animation.

Practical demonstration

To see how it works in practice, imagine this simple scenario: you have a project or mockup of a property and need to show it dynamically in your next meeting or on your social media. With Google Vids, you can turn it into a video showing it from different angles. Check it out in the video below:

The prompt used was: Convert these prototype images into a rotating video showing the product from different angles.
