A clip or a still, made from a sentence
The other things here need something to start from. This one needs a prompt. Four tools share one balance, one price list and one set of rules — and every one of them shows you the cost before it runs.
On every plan
No footage? No problem. Describe the shot, get the creative.
A written prompt — up to 170,393 characters on Omni, 85,196 on any of the three still models, and 1,331 on both Veos. Three of the four tools also take images: one or two frames for a clip built from your own still, up to five references a prompt can name by alias, or up to three references for a still.
One clip as an MP4, with a poster frame lifted from it, or one, two or four stills. Each still is its own charge and its own record.
Four tools
| Text-to-Video | A prompt in, a clip out. Nothing to upload and nothing to start from. |
| Image-to-Video | Your own still animates. Where the model has a last-frame slot, a second image becomes the end of the same clip. |
| Reference-to-Video | Up to five images the model holds consistent — a face, a product — named in the prompt by alias. |
| Image generation | Stills in a batch of one, two or four. A still can be sent straight into a clip as its first frame. |
The price is on screen before it runs
Length, size and model each move the number, so the number is shown against the exact combination you have picked, not against a starting-from figure. A batch of four stills prices as four, because that is what it is charged as.
A second is the unit for a clip, an image is the unit for a still
Clips are priced by the second of finished video — a ten-second clip is not a four-second clip with a longer wait, and pricing it flat would sell the ten at the four’s cost. Stills are priced per image, by size. Neither has a subscription attached: they come out of the same credit balance as everything else.
The pairs that do not exist are not offered
Length and resolution are not two independent rows. On both Veo rungs, 1080p exists only at eight seconds — four and six were refused by the provider at both shapes when we walked the grid on 4 September 2026. The picker will not compose a pair that cannot be bought, and this page prints the rule rather than leaving it to be discovered at the submit button.
One, two or four stills, each its own record
A batch is a convenience of the click, not of the billing. Every image is its own generation with its own charge and its own row, so a batch that half-delivers settles for the half that arrived rather than being all-or-nothing in whichever direction suits us.
References are named, not guessed
A reference is bound to an alias you type into the prompt. If the prompt names one that is not attached, the request is refused before anything is generated rather than quietly dropping the image and charging for a clip that ignores it.
No plan buys it and no plan withholds it
Generate is on every plan, including the cheapest. There is no feature flag behind it and no tier that unlocks a model — the only thing that decides what you can run is the credits you hold.
What it costs
A clip is priced by the second of finished video, so its cost is the rate below multiplied by the length you pick — the cheapest clip on the list is a four-second one at 24 credits, the dearest a ten-second one at 120.
| veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview · 720p | 6 credits a second | 4, 6 or 8 s |
| veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview · 1080p | 10 credits a second | 8 s only |
| veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview · 720p | 12 credits a second | 4, 6 or 8 s |
| veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview · 1080p | 14 credits a second | 8 s only |
| gemini-omni-1.1-flash · 720p | 12 credits a second | 4, 6, 8 or 10 s |
A still is priced per image, by size. Two stills is twice the figure below and four is four times it, because each one is its own generation.
| gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image · 1K | 4 credits |
| gemini-3.1-flash-image · 1K / 2K / 4K | 8 / 12 / 18 credits |
| gemini-3-pro-image · 1K / 2K / 4K | 16 / 16 / 28 credits |
What it takes
| Plan | Every plan. Nothing here is gated. |
| Prompt | Up to 170,393 characters on Omni, 85,196 on any of the three still models, and 1,331 on both Veos — the ceiling is the model's own input window and not a price, and the workspace states it under the box. Longer is refused at the door, with the length, before anything is charged. |
| Clip length | 4, 6 or 8 seconds on the Veo rungs; 4, 6, 8 or 10 on Omni. 1080p is 8 seconds only. |
| Clip shape | 9:16 or 16:9. |
| Still shape | 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or 16:9. |
| Still size | 1K, 2K or 4K, by model. The lite rung is 1K only — our own probe of it was refused at 2K, so it is not sold above 1K. |
| Stills per press | 1, 2 or 4. |
| Frames in | One frame on Omni and on Veo Lite; up to two on Veo Fast, the second being the last frame. |
| References in | Up to five on Omni, up to three on Veo Fast, up to three on a still. Veo Lite takes none, and the picker says so instead of pricing a request it cannot make. |
| Video out | MP4, with a poster frame taken a second in. If the poster cannot be made the clip is still delivered — it is a convenience, not a deliverable. |
| Stills out | PNG, JPEG or WebP — whichever the model returns; the file is named and typed from its own bytes. |
| Output kept for | The period your plan includes, then deleted — the same rule and the same clock as a localized video or a delivered creative. |
What you are charged for
You pay only for what you receive. A generation that comes back with nothing usable is refunded in full and automatically, including the part of it we had already paid for. That loss is ours.
There is one exception, and it is the only one: if you stop a generation after it has started, it is not refunded. The call was already made, on your instruction, and it was paid for.
What it does not do
- Promise you what the model draws. We buy a generation and hand you what came back. There is no revision loop included in the price, and a second attempt is a second generation at the same price as the first.
- Let you dial a length the provider will not take. Four, six and eight seconds on the Veo rungs, plus ten on Omni, and 1080p only at eight. The grid was probed rather than guessed, and the refusals are printed above rather than left in a picker for you to find.
- Sell 1080p on Omni. There is one measured rate for it, at 720p, so quoting a larger frame at the same price would be selling more pixels than we priced. The rung is absent rather than approximated.
- Sell the lite image model above 1K. Its own probe returned an error at 2K and the provider publishes no rung above 1K for it, so the sizes it cannot make are not on the picker.
- Bundle the stills. Four images is four charges. A batch price would be the moment a partial delivery becomes an argument.
- Give you a refund because you did not like it. What is refunded is a generation that came back with nothing usable — that loss is ours. Taste is not a fault, and a page that implied otherwise would be writing a promise the ledger does not keep.
- Outlive your plan’s storage window. A generated clip or still is kept and deleted on exactly the same schedule as everything else the platform produces.
One prompt is the whole test
The cheapest thing on this page is a four-credit still. Nothing runs until you have seen what it costs.
