VEO Family AI Generator
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
There is one VEO version in the catalog, VEO 3.1, and it ships as three tiers that cost very different amounts. Lite is 1.5 credits a second at 720p and 2 at 1080p. Fast is 3 credits a second at either resolution. Standard is 8. So the same 8 second clip is 16 credits on Lite, 24 on Fast and 64 on Standard, and the tiers differ in what they can do as well as what they charge. Below is each tier with its rate, its clip lengths, its aspect ratios and whether it makes sound. Every figure was read from the model configuration files on August 26, 2026.
The three VEO 3.1 tiers, rate by rate
VEO 3.1 Lite
1.5 credits a second at 720p and 2 at 1080p, the only tier where resolution changes the rate. Clip lengths are 4, 6 or 8 seconds at 720p, but 1080p accepts 8 second clips only. It does not generate audio and it does not take reference images. A 4 second 720p clip is 6 credits, the cheapest VEO output available.
VEO 3.1 Fast
3 credits a second at both 720p and 1080p, so resolution is free here and there is no reason to draft small. Clip lengths are 4, 6 or 8 seconds. It generates a synchronised audio track, which can be switched off. It does not take reference images. An 8 second clip is 24 credits.
VEO 3.1 Standard
8 credits a second at both resolutions, the top tier and the default when no tier is named. Clip lengths are 4, 6 or 8 seconds, audio can be generated or suppressed, and it is the only tier that accepts reference images, up to 3 of them for style guidance. An 8 second clip is 64 credits.
What every tier shares
Two aspect ratios, 16:9 and 9:16. No square option exists on any VEO tier. All three accept a starting image to animate, an ending frame to interpolate towards, a negative prompt and a seed. The defaults are an 8 second clip at 1080p.
Audio is the real dividing line
Fast and Standard generate a synchronised soundtrack in the same run as the picture. Lite does not, at any price. In an August 26, 2026 test run on the Fast tier, an 8 second cafe clip came back with ambient room chatter and espresso machine noise already on the track, for 24 credits.
Reference images are Standard only
Up to 3 reference images for style guidance are accepted on Standard and rejected on the other two tiers. If your shot has to match an existing look rather than a starting frame, Standard is the only VEO tier that will take the input.
Naming the tier is what sets the price
Omit the tier and the request is treated as Standard at 8 credits a second. Calling the tier specific ids, veo-3.1-lite, veo-3.1-fast or veo-3.1-standard, pins both the price and the route, so a Lite call cannot fall through to the Standard rate.
One version, three tiers, a fivefold price spread. An 8 second clip is 16 credits on Lite, 24 on Fast and 64 on Standard.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for VEO Family
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
The cheapest VEO second costs 1.5 credits
That is Lite at 720p. The most expensive is Standard at 8 credits a second, at either resolution. The whole family sits inside that band.
Only Lite charges more for 1080p
Fast and Standard price 720p and 1080p identically, so on those tiers there is nothing to save by rendering small. On Lite the step from 720p to 1080p is 1.5 to 2 credits a second, and it also locks you to 8 second clips.
Sound in one pass, on two of the three tiers
Fast and Standard produce picture and a matched audio track from one prompt in one run. There is no separate audio job to price, and no lip or effect alignment step to do afterwards.
Clip length is fixed at 4, 6 or 8 seconds
No VEO tier takes an arbitrary duration. Anything longer than 8 seconds has to be assembled from several runs, so budget in multiples of the tier rate.
How It Works
How to choose a VEO tier and price the clip:
Decide whether the clip needs sound
If it does, the choice is Fast at 3 credits a second or Standard at 8. If it does not, Lite at 1.5 a second cuts the bill in half again and looks the same at 720p.
Multiply the rate by 4, 6 or 8 seconds
Those are the only lengths on offer. A 6 second Fast clip is 18 credits. The same clip on Standard is 48. On Lite at 720p it is 9.
Name the tier in the request
Call the tier specific id so the price is pinned. A request that names no tier is treated as Standard and charged 8 credits a second.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about VEO Family
How much does VEO 3.1 cost?
By the second. Lite is 1.5 credits a second at 720p and 2 at 1080p. Fast is 3 at either resolution. Standard is 8 at either resolution. Multiply by a clip length of 4, 6 or 8 seconds.
What is the difference between VEO 3.1 Fast and Standard?
Price and reference images. Fast is 3 credits a second and Standard is 8, so an 8 second clip is 24 against 64. Both generate audio and both offer 720p and 1080p at the same rate. Only Standard accepts reference images, up to 3.
Does VEO 3.1 Lite generate audio?
No. Lite returns picture only, at any resolution or length. If the clip needs sound generated in the same pass, use Fast at 3 credits a second or Standard at 8.
How long can a VEO 3.1 clip be?
4, 6 or 8 seconds, with 8 as the default. One exception: Lite at 1080p accepts 8 second clips only. For anything longer, generate several clips and join them.
Can VEO 3.1 make a square video?
No. Every tier accepts 16:9 and 9:16 only. There is no 1:1 option on Lite, Fast or Standard, and a square request is rejected before any credits are deducted.
Which VEO id do I call from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/veo-3.1-lite/run, /api/v1/models/veo-3.1-fast/run or /api/v1/models/veo-3.1-standard/run. Each id pins its own tier and rate, so a bare request cannot land on the wrong one. Omitting the tier on the shared endpoint bills at the Standard rate.
