Strengths
Veo 3.1 Lite is the most affordable Veo variant, starting at $0.10 per second of generated video for budget-conscious, high-volume use.
It is the quickest Veo model to render, trading some fidelity for faster turnaround on each 4-8 second clip.
Generates video up to 1080p resolution, covering social, web, and preview use cases without the cost of 4K.
Low per-second pricing and fast generation make it ideal for producing many clips at scale, such as ad variations or social content batches.

Veo 3.1 Lite API: fastest, cheapest Google AI video
Veo 3.1 Lite is the budget tier of Google's Veo video generation family — the fastest and cheapest variant, generating 4-8 second clips from text or images at up to 1080p. It trades some of Veo 3.1's fidelity for speed and a far lower per-second price.
On YepAPI you generate Veo 3.1 Lite videos with one API key on the media queue endpoint at $0.10/sec for 720p and $0.16/sec for 1080p, making high-volume video production affordable.
What is Veo 3.1 Lite?
Veo 3.1 Lite is the lightweight, low-cost member of Google's Veo video generation family. It generates short clips of 4 to 8 seconds from text prompts or images at resolutions up to 1080p, prioritizing fast render times and low cost over the maximum fidelity of full Veo 3.1. It is designed for high-volume work where you need many clips quickly and cheaply — social content, ad variations, rapid prototyping, and previews — rather than 4K cinematic output. When budget and throughput matter more than the absolute best visual quality, Veo 3.1 Lite is the practical choice.
Build with Veo 3.1 Lite via YepAPI
Submit a text or image prompt to the YepAPI media queue with a single API key, poll the job, and download the resulting MP4. Because Veo 3.1 Lite renders fast, you can fan out many concurrent generations to produce batches of clips quickly. The same key also reaches full Veo 3.1, so you can prototype cheaply on Lite and re-render the winners at higher quality without changing any integration code or credentials.
Veo 3.1 Lite API pricing — Per-second: $0.10/sec (720p), $0.16/sec (1080p)
Veo 3.1 Lite is billed per second of generated video: $0.10 per second at 720p and $0.16 per second at 1080p. An 8-second 720p clip costs around $0.80, and the same length at 1080p about $1.28 — a fraction of full Veo 3.1's price. That makes it economical to generate dozens of variations, and one YepAPI balance covers it alongside every other model.
Veo 3.1 Lite for high-volume social and ad content
Veo 3.1 Lite is built for scale: short-form social clips, batches of ad creative for A/B testing, animated thumbnails, and rapid storyboard previews. Its low per-second cost and fast turnaround let teams generate and iterate on many videos in the time and budget a single premium render would take. Use it to explore concepts broadly, then promote the best results to a higher-fidelity model when needed.
