How does Veo 3.1 API pricing work?

Credits are integer units at $0.001 each. Alt channels bill per generation at the chosen resolution. Official channels bill per second × duration with separate tiers for audio off, audio on, and 4K + audio. See current per-channel rates in the pricing table on this page. Failed jobs refund automatically — you only pay for video that ships.

Which Veo 3.1 channel should I pick?

Lite is the cheapest tier for prompt-only drafts. Fast covers iterative work with image references. Quality is the premium per-generation tier with strict frame-based image-to-video. Use Fast Official or Quality Official when you need audio, 4K, or Vertex-grade controls.

Can the Veo 3.1 API animate a still image?

Yes. On veo3.1-fast and veo3.1-quality, pass image URLs in image_urls (up to 3) and pick generation_type. On the official channels, use first_frame_image and optionally last_frame_image for first / last frame interpolation.

Does Veo 3.1 generate audio?

Native audio is available on the official channels (veo3.1-fast-official and veo3.1-quality-official). Set generate_audio to true and the video ships with a synthesized soundtrack at the audio pricing tier. Alt channels output silent video.

How long can a Veo 3.1 video be?

Alt channels output 8 seconds per call. Official channels accept 4, 6, or 8 seconds. To extend a Fast or Quality clip to 15 seconds, call POST /api/v1/videos/:task_id/remix with the same model and a continuation prompt.

What input formats does Veo 3.1 accept?

Image inputs must be public HTTP(S) URLs (jpg / png / webp) up to 10 MB each. Base64 and data URIs are rejected at the gateway. Up to three reference images on alt channels; first and last frame images on official channels.

How does Veo 3.1 compare to Veo 3?

Veo 3.1 is the latest release in Google's Veo video generator line, building on Veo 3. It improves motion consistency, adds first / last frame interpolation, and ships native audio on official tiers. Pricing on reAPI starts at the Lite channel — see the pricing table on this page for current per-channel rates.
