Gemini Can Now Turn Your Photos Into Videos

Gemini takes about 1-2 minutes to change a still photo into a moving video. After it’s done, you can download the video or share it with others. The videos are in MP4 format and have HD quality (720p) with a wide 16:9 screen size.

When we tested this new feature, we found that Gemini couldn’t make videos from photos of real people. However, it worked great with pictures of nature, animals, and everyday objects.

Who Can Use This Feature

Right now, only people who pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra can use this tool. Google started rolling it out to users in certain countries on July 11th. If you don’t see it on your account yet, you might need to wait a bit longer.

How It Works

To use this feature, you upload a photo and tell Gemini what you want to happen in the video. For example, one person uploaded a photo of a cat sitting on a table and wrote: “the cat sees a mouse nearby and jumps to catch it.” Gemini then created a video showing the cat doing exactly that.

The tool works by bringing your still photos to life based on the instructions you give it.
