Veo 3.1 Lite
NEWVeo 3.1 Lite is Google DeepMind's cheapest Veo tier, added in March 2026. It renders 4 to 8 second clips with native audio at 720p or 1080p from a text prompt or a source image — for 96 credits an 8-second clip, less than a fifth of what the standard tier costs. It is the tier for volume: social cuts, variations, and the twenty drafts before the take you keep.

Key Features of Veo 3.1 Lite
Why creators pick PixRoute for veo 3.1 lite ai video generator.
96 credits for eight seconds
The cheapest audio-native video on PixRoute — an eight-second Veo clip with sound costs less than five seconds from any other flagship model here.
Veo audio, kept
Lite is a cheaper tier of Veo 3.1, not a silent model: dialogue, ambience, and effects are still generated in the same pass as the picture.
720p and 1080p
Both resolutions from the same model. 1080p is priced at 1.5× and still lands under any other flagship's 720p rate.
Text to video and image to video
Write the shot, or animate a still you already have. First-and-last keyframes are supported too, fixed at eight seconds.
Built for volume
Cheap enough to render a dozen variations of one idea and pick, instead of committing a large credit spend to a single roll of the dice.
Step up without switching tools
When a prompt is worth more pixels, send the same one to Veo 3.1 Fast or standard Veo 3.1 — same controls, same balance, one tab.

Veo 3.1 Lite FAQ
What is Veo 3.1 Lite?+
Veo 3.1 Lite is the cheapest tier of Google DeepMind's Veo 3.1, released in March 2026. It generates 4, 6, or 8 second clips with native audio at 720p or 1080p, from a text prompt or a source image. You can run it online on PixRoute.
How much does Veo 3.1 Lite cost?+
96 credits for an 8-second clip at 720p, 154 credits at 1080p, and 48 credits for 4 seconds at 720p. Standard Veo 3.1 charges 768 credits for the same 8 seconds.
What is missing compared to the other Veo tiers?+
There is no 4K and no reference-to-video on Lite, and fidelity in hard shots is lower than Fast or standard. Text-to-video, image-to-video, first-and-last keyframes, native audio, and both resolutions are all there.
Is Veo 3.1 Lite the cheapest video model on PixRoute?+
Yes, per second of finished video with sound. An 8-second 720p clip is 96 credits, against 170 credits for 5 seconds from HappyHorse 1.1 and 565 from Seedance 2.5.
Can I set a last frame with Veo 3.1 Lite?+
Yes. Add a tail frame to an image-to-video run and Veo renders the shot from your first frame to your last. On Lite that route is fixed at eight seconds, so the length pills collapse to 8s while a tail frame is attached.
Do I need a Google account?+
No. PixRoute runs Veo 3.1 Lite on PixRoute credits — sign in here and generate, with no Google Cloud project or separate subscription.
