Google has unveiled a significant update to the photo-to-video feature in Google Photos, offering users enhanced creative control. This new functionality allows individuals to transform static images into dynamic short videos using simple text descriptions.

Available to users over the age of 18, the feature enables the use of custom text prompts to dictate movements, styles, or specific visual effects. Users can easily refine these prompts to achieve their desired cinematic result. For those seeking instant inspiration, Google has included prompt suggestions alongside existing tools like "Subtle Movement" and "I'm feeling lucky."

In addition to visual transformations, Google confirmed that every video generated from an image, whether through a template or a custom prompt, will now include audio by default. This addition is designed to enhance the overall experience, making the resulting creations more immersive and polished.
