GoKawiilGoogle opens Vids AI video generator to all users at no cost
Google now lets anyone with a personal or Workspace account use Google Vids to create 1080p videos powered by its Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash-Lite model, free of charge. The feature is accessible via vids.new by selecting 'Create AI videos,' though Google hasn't specified any usage limits for free accounts, and generated videos carry a SynthID watermark. Google also announced plans to add Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite text-to-speech for voiceovers, supporting over 100 languages.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Removing the paywall for AI video generation could widen Vids' user base significantly, potentially positioning Google to compete more directly with other free or low-cost AI video tools. The lack of stated limits suggests Google may be using this as a way to draw users toward paid AI plans for expanded access, though that isn't confirmed by the company.
- Google Vids' AI video generation is now free for all personal and Workspace account holders.
- The tool uses Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash-Lite to produce 1080p videos with SynthID watermarks.
- Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite text-to-speech, supporting 100+ languages, is coming soon for voiceovers.
