Inputs and settings

For the default text operation, provide prompt and choose 4s, 6s or 8s, 16:9 or 9:16, and 720p or 1080p.

The image operation additionally requires image_url and offers auto aspect ratio. Use negative_prompt for exclusions; auto_fix may rewrite a rejected prompt.

Use Veo 3.1 Lite through the API.

Start with this model ID for the endpoint featured on this page:

veo3.1/lite

Input requirements belong to this model ID. Check a different mode’s schema separately when switching modes.

Available modes

Check the current model schema for supported inputs and options. Other tasks may use different model IDs.

From quote to result.

Request a credit quote for your input and settings before submitting a generation. A sample output or the price of another model is not a quote for your request.

Follow the generation workflow, then poll the job for its status and result. The API and studio use the same balance.
