Xiaomi has just changed the game in smartphone creativity. The tech giant now lets users transform simple photos into professional-looking AI-generated videos—all from their mobile devices. Thanks to a powerful collaboration with Google, this new feature uses Veo 3, a high-end AI video generation model, making it easier than ever to animate your photo memories into cinematic stories.
With this breakthrough, Xiaomi continues to position itself as a leader in AI-powered mobile innovation. Whether you’re a content creator or a casual user, you can now create 8-second video clips complete with ambient sounds and voiceovers—directly from your photo library.
Professional AI Video Creation Comes to Mobile
The core of this innovation is Google’s Veo 3 model, now integrated into the Gemini app. Users can upload static images, choose animation settings, and watch as the app brings photos to life with realistic motion.
These AI-powered clips are produced in 720p resolution, following a 16:9 horizontal format (MP4), ideal for social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook. It’s not just a gimmick—it’s a full-fledged creative tool for anyone wanting to breathe life into personal or promotional images.
You can animate everything from portraits to landscapes, making it perfect for marketers, influencers, artists, or just tech enthusiasts wanting a fresh way to share content.
Enhanced Audio-Visual Experience with AI Sync
What sets this tool apart is its audio integration. Users can add sound effects, ambient audio, and even scripted voiceovers that match the scene automatically. Google’s AI synchronizes the visual and audio elements to perfection, making the final product look like it was edited by a pro.
There’s also an option for users to give specific audio directions, offering full control over the mood, tone, and storytelling of the video. It’s no longer just about animation—this is multimedia storytelling done right from your phone.
Where and How to Access the Feature
This powerful video tool is available to users with Gemini AI Ultra and AI Pro subscriptions, initially rolled out in select regions. The web version is live now, and Xiaomi is gradually bringing the mobile experience to more users this week.
To try it, just go to the “Tools” section in the Gemini app, tap “Video,” upload your photos, and follow the intuitive steps. It’s easy enough for beginners but powerful enough for professionals.
Built-in Watermarks for AI Transparency
To ensure content authenticity, all AI-generated videos include a visible watermark and SynthID invisible watermark. These digital signatures guarantee transparency and help viewers distinguish AI-made content from traditional media.
This is part of Xiaomi and Google’s joint push for ethical AI usage—blending innovation with responsibility. As mobile AI continues to evolve, Xiaomi leads the way in delivering next-gen tools without compromising trust.
