What’s New in Veo 3.1 “Ingredients to Video”
The “Ingredients to Video” tool lets you turn reference images into video clips. Version 3.1 gives you more freedom to create dynamic and expressive clips, even with simple prompts. Your videos can now tell richer stories and transform still images into engaging shorts.
Better Consistency for Characters and Backgrounds
AI video often struggles with keeping characters and backgrounds the same. Veo 3.1 solves this. Your characters now look the same throughout different scenes, while backgrounds and objects can stay consistent. This gives you more creative control and helps your stories feel clear and connected.
Because of these upgrades, your characters will always be easy to recognize, no matter the scene.
Easier Blending of Elements
The update makes it simple to combine characters, objects, and backgrounds in one video. You can blend many elements smoothly and build strong, creative visuals. This flexibility inspires you to try different ideas and make videos that stand out.
Vertical Video Generation and High Quality
Veo 3.1 focuses on modern formats and better quality for creators.
Vertical Video Support
For the first time, “Ingredients to Video” can make videos in the 9:16 vertical aspect ratio. This is perfect for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. Your videos will fill mobile screens without the need to crop or risk losing detail. You get the look you want, right from the start.
Upscaling to 1080p and 4K
With Veo 3.1, you can upscale clips to 1080p and 4K. The 1080p setting keeps your videos clear and sharp—great for edits. 4K upscaling brings deep texture and amazing detail, which is ideal for large productions and big screens.
These new options make Veo a strong choice for both simple projects and professional video work.

Veo 3.1 comes to several Google products and services:

Supporting Transparency
AI-generated videos are becoming more common, so transparency matters. Google marks Veo 3.1 videos with a SynthID digital watermark to ensure authenticity. The Gemini app lets you upload a video to check if Google AI made it. These steps help build trust and make digital content safer for everyone.
Veo 3.1 moves creative video forward by giving you real control, consistent style, and powerful creativity. With tools for dynamic clips and full vertical video generation, you now have everything you need to bring your ideas to life.
