Google has made its Veo 3.1 video generation model accessible to all personal Google accounts, dropping the previous requirement for a paid Google Workspace subscription. The feature is now available through Google Vids at vids.new. Personal account users can generate up to 10 videos per month for free. The tool allows creating videos from text prompts and animating static images.
What Free Veo 3.1 Access Includes and What AI Pro/Ultra Adds
The 10 monthly generations include Veo 3.1, Google’s current video generation model, which can be accessed directly within the Vids editor. Google has not provided details on the maximum clip length, resolution limits, or output format restrictions for the free tier.
Google is rolling out new features for AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers as well as expanding access for the free tier. These updates include custom music generation and AI avatars that can be directed by users. Google has not yet released detailed specifications for either feature.
Why Google Is Opening Veo 3.1 to Personal Accounts
Google Vids was introduced as a product focused on Workspace, targeting enterprise and business users. The move to include personal accounts marks a major shift in how Google distributes access to its video generation tools, placing Veo 3.1 in direct competition with consumer-oriented AI video platforms.
Google has not clarified whether the 10 free generations per month will stay as a permanent free tier or if this policy might change.
