Veo 3.1 Lite Budget-Friendly AI Video Model

Veo 3.1 Lite is the lighter, cheaper option in the Veo 3.1 lineup. It makes more sense when you want to test ideas quickly, create lots of variations, or produce more video assets without spending as much.

Veo 3.1 Lite supports two main modes: text-to-video and image-to-video with first/last frame control. You can either generate a video from a prompt or start from an existing image and guide the motion more precisely.

Each Veo 3.1 Lite generation costs 8 credits, so it's cheaper than standard Veo 3.1. If you plan to test lots of prompts, make multiple versions, or keep costs down, it's usually the better choice.

Veo 3.1 Lite works best when cost and output volume matter more than having the full Veo 3.1 feature set. It's a strong choice for creative testing, ad iterations, batch asset creation, and other budget-conscious video work.

For better results, be specific about the scene, motion, and style you want. If you're using image-to-video, start with a clear, high-quality image.

No. Reference-to-Video is only available in standard Veo 3.1. Veo 3.1 Lite stays focused on text-to-video and image-to-video with first/last frame control to keep the most common use cases cheaper and simpler.
