Gemini Omni Flash Image-to-Video API
Gemini Omni Flash Image-to-Video is a multimodal video generation capability provided by Google DeepMind via the iCreat platform. Unveiled at Google I/O in May 2026 and opened to developers in August 2026, the Gemini Omni Flash model combines Gemini's multimodal reasoning with video generation and editing. The iCreat endpoint exposes its image-to-video subset, accepting text and image inputs to generate high-quality 24 FPS dynamic videos.
The iCreat platform currently offers the 720p resolution tier at $0.13 per second, with the official model possessing up to 4K supersampling capabilities. The API operates in an asynchronous three-step mode via the iCreat task submission, status query, and result retrieval endpoints.
Model Positioning
Gemini Omni Flash Image-to-Video is positioned as a lightweight, all-around multimodal video generation and editing model. It leverages Google DeepMind's Gemini multimodal architecture to transform static images and text prompts into dynamic video content. Designed for accessibility and efficiency, it provides developers with a streamlined entry point into AI video generation. The iCreat endpoint specifically focuses on the image-to-video workflow, enabling the creation of 24 FPS videos in 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratios with durations ranging from 3 to 10 seconds.
Core Capabilities
Multimodal Input Processing
The model accepts an array of multimodal inputs, specifically combining text prompts and reference images. This allows users to direct the video generation process using descriptive text while anchoring the visual output to a provided image URL, ensuring contextual accuracy and stylistic consistency.
High-Quality Video Output
The API generates dynamic video outputs at 24 frames per second. While the iCreat endpoint currently limits the output resolution to 720p, the underlying official model architecture supports native supersampling up to 4K resolution, ensuring high-quality motion and visual fidelity within the available tier.
Flexible Aspect Ratios and Durations
Developers can specify the output video's aspect ratio as either 16:9 for landscape formats or 9:16 for vertical formats, catering to various display and social media requirements. The video duration can be precisely controlled with an integer value between 3 and 10 seconds, providing flexibility for different use cases.
Asynchronous Task Workflow
The API utilizes a robust three-step asynchronous workflow: submitting the generation task, querying the task status, and retrieving the final result. This design is optimized for handling the computational time required for video generation, ensuring reliable processing without blocking the initial request.
Pricing
| Resolution | Unit Price | Billing | Example Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 720p | $0.13/second | Unit price × output duration | 5 seconds = $0.65 |
Note: The above is the iCreat platform price. The official Google Gemini API reference price is $0.10 per second; as a third-party relay service, iCreat's price includes platform service fees, and the iCreat platform price shall prevail for billing.
Application Scenarios
- Social media content creation and short-form video generation
- Dynamic visualization of static product images for e-commerce
- Storyboarding and concept video generation for creative workflows

Architecture
The API operates using an asynchronous three-step architecture designed to handle video generation tasks efficiently.
Step 1: Submit Task
The client sends a POST request to the submission endpoint. The request body must contain the input array (including text prompts and image URLs) and the response_format object (specifying video type, aspect ratio, duration, and resolution). The request must include the Authorization header with the Bearer API Key and the X-ICREAT-AI-GROUP: atlas header. Upon successful submission, the API returns a task_id.
Step 2: Query Status
The client sends a POST request to the query-status endpoint with the task_id obtained from the submission step. The response will indicate the current processing status of the video generation task, allowing the client to poll until the task is complete.
Step 3: Get Result
Once the task status indicates completion, the client sends a POST request to the get-result endpoint with the task_id. The API returns the generated video output, completing the asynchronous workflow.
Notes
- The iCreat endpoint currently only supports the 720p resolution tier, although the official Gemini Omni Flash model supports up to 4K supersampling.
- The input array must contain at least one text prompt and one image URL to function correctly as an image-to-video generation request.
- The
durationparameter must be an integer between 3 and 10; values outside this range will result in an error. - The
response_formatobject must specify theaspect_ratioas either16:9or9:16; no other aspect ratios are supported via this endpoint. - The iCreat platform price of $0.13 per second includes platform service fees and is higher than the official Google Gemini API reference price of $0.10 per second.
- The request body does not use a
modelfield; the model ID is inherently specified within the submission endpoint URL.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the billing calculated?
Billing is calculated based on the output video duration. The unit price is $0.13 per second for the 720p resolution tier. The total cost is the unit price multiplied by the duration in seconds. For example, generating a 5-second video will cost $0.65.
Why is the price higher than the Google official price?
The iCreat platform acts as a third-party relay service. The price of $0.13 per second includes platform service fees associated with providing access, infrastructure, and support. The official Google Gemini API reference price is $0.10 per second, but the iCreat platform price shall prevail for billing on this endpoint.
What inputs and parameter values are supported?
The API accepts an input array containing objects of type text (prompts) and image (URLs). The response_format object must specify the type as video, an aspect_ratio of either 16:9 or 9:16, a duration as an integer between 3 and 10 seconds, and a resolution of 720p.
What is the maximum single duration?
The maximum single video duration supported by this endpoint is 10 seconds. The duration parameter must be an integer between 3 and 10, inclusive.
Why is the resolution only 720p?
While the underlying official Gemini Omni Flash model supports up to 4K supersampling, the iCreat endpoint currently only exposes the 720p resolution tier. This limits the output resolution to 720p for tasks submitted through this specific endpoint.
Can the API output 4K resolution?
No, the iCreat endpoint for Gemini Omni Flash Image-to-Video currently only supports the 720p resolution tier. Although the official model possesses 4K supersampling capabilities, this specific endpoint does not provide access to higher resolutions at this time.
