Google is preparing to launch Google Pics in the coming weeks, an AI-powered tool developed for Workspace users and premium Google AI subscribers that enables the generation and editing of images through text prompts.

Meet Google Pics

Google is entering the creative design market by announcing Google Pics, a new image creation and editing tool. This new product becomes part of the Google Workspace suite for business customers and premium Google AI subscribers.

Powered by the Nano Banana Model

The company announced that the product, powered by Google's Nano Banana image generation model, will be rolled out gradually in the coming weeks to most Workspace customers and users paying for Google AI Pro or Ultra.

A Solution for Everyday Design Needs

Similar to popular design tools like Adobe Express and Canva, Google's new product is designed for everyday design tasks encountered in business and personal life. Users can create visuals such as posters and social media posts with this tool.

The Approach of Prompting Instead of Designing

Google Pics focuses on generating content by giving prompts rather than designing from scratch. The application also incorporates various editing tools such as isolating objects, transforming them, and changing texts within images.

Workspace Integration and Plans

The software is integrated directly into Google Workspace, launching today first in Docs and Slides. The company states that the application will also come to Google Drive in the future.
