Google's Gemini Now Lets You Create Videos From Old Photos Using Veo 3: How It Works
Veo 3 is available with Gemini AI Pro and Ultra plans in over 150 countries and the new feature is part of the setup.
Google unleashed Veo 3 AI model at the I/O 2025 in May which is now available in over 150 countries, including India. The new AI model lets you create videos using text prompts and you can even add audio sync for the visuals. But did you know that Google is making it capable of generating 8-second videos out of your photos?
'You can create short videos in minutes in Gemini Apps. Simply describe what you have in mind and watch your ideas come to life in motion – whether you're creating for fun, sharing with friends, or visualizing a concept," Google's Gemini page points out.
Google's Photo To AI Video: How It Works
To use the new feature on Gemini AI, you need a personal account and subscription to Gemini AI Pro or Ultra plans. People below 18 years cannot use this feature with their account. You can follow these steps to create an AI video from a photo using Gemini.
As you can tell from these details, Google is not making these features available for free, but don't be surprised if the company does a U-turn and makes it compatible with all personal accounts in the coming months.
Google is offering limited use of the feature, even if you have the AI Pro or AI Ultra plans. The company says the ability to generate a video from a photo is not available in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom.
Google Veo 3 AI model to generate videos with audio was recently announced for the Indian market bundled with the Gemini AI Pro plan for users. Gemini AI Pro users in India can access Veo 3 along with other features through the Gemini app on mobile, or the web version on the desktop. Gemini AI Pro in India costs Rs 1,950 per month, and competes with ChatGPT Plus from OpenAI that is available for Rs 1,900 per month in the country.

More tax, quicker refunds: It's time to widen India's tax net
India's tax system has undergone significant improvements in recent years. Taxpayers are paying advance tax on time and receiving refunds as early as seven days after filing their returns. But while India's tax engine is revving harder, are there enough drivers?Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in a conclave with the principal chief commissioners of the Central Board of Direct Taxes on June 23, said that the government has undertaken several significant reforms in recent years, particularly in faceless assessment, e-verification system, tax exemptions and changes in slab rates, and digital service delivery. She also emphasised the need for the timely processing of tax refunds and the proactive resolution of taxpayer portion of total tax collected is refunded?The portion of gross tax collected that is refunded has touched an all-time high of 17.6 per cent in the financial year 2024–25. It was 13 per cent in FY2014–15. While the rise in refunds indicates an efficient tax system, it also highlights the excess tax collected from individuals. Rising gap between gross and net collectionsAs the refunds rise, the gap between the gross and net direct tax collections is also widening. In F2015, the gap was 0.8 percentage points. This swelled to a high of 1.5 percentage points in FY2025, according to the CBDT. This indicates that more tax is being collected, which has to be refunded after the end of the are the taxpayers?There were only 7.5 crore returns filed by individuals in the assessment year 2023-24, against a projected adult population of around 97 crore, according to the Income Tax Department. This brings the tax base to a mere seven to eight per more than 50 per cent of the adult population file income tax returns in the United States. The low tax base is an indication of a disproportionate burden of taxes on the salaried class. It also points towards the exclusion of the informal among those filing income tax returns, 27 per cent of the individuals have a gross average annual income of Rs 7 lakh, 17 per cent have income of Rs 4.8 lakh, eight per cent have Rs 12 lakh, and seven per cent have Rs 3 lakh as annual income.- EndsTune InMust Watch
