Google Veo 3.1 Update Lets You Upload Multiple Images for Better AI Videos

Google’s Veo 3.1 update now lets users upload multiple reference images for AI video creation on mobile and desktop. Create precise videos with character consistency and custom worlds through the Gemini app.

What Does the New Veo 3.1 Update Include?

Google just dropped a game-changing update for Veo 3.1 that gives you complete creative control over AI-generated videos. Starting today on both mobile and desktop, you can upload multiple reference images alongside your text prompts to shape exactly how your videos look.

The new “Ingredients to Video” feature lets you combine up to three reference photos covering characters, backgrounds, objects, or specific styles. The AI uses these visual anchors to maintain consistency throughout your eight-second clips, solving one of the biggest frustrations with AI video tools: unpredictable results.

How Do Multiple Reference Images Improve Video Quality?

Think of it like giving directions to an artist. Instead of describing everything in words, you show them exactly what you want. Upload a character photo, a background scene, and a style reference, and Veo 3.1 blends them into cohesive videos that match your vision.

The system maintains character identity and visual continuity across all frames, which is perfect for storytelling, brand content, or creative projects where consistency matters. Plus, every video comes with synchronized audio including dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise.

Where Can You Access Veo 3.1’s New Features?

The multi-image feature is rolling out now through the Gemini app for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. You’ll find the upload option right in the interface where you enter your video prompts.

Google also integrated these updates into their Flow editing tool, adding audio support to existing features like frame-to-frame transitions and scene extensions. Developers can access Veo 3.1 through the Gemini API and Vertex AI platforms for commercial projects.

This update transforms Veo from a basic generator into a precision tool for creators who need their AI videos to follow an actual vision instead of playing guessing games with text prompts.
