Google launches a Canva alternative that lets you create posters, flyers, and social posts with AI
Google launched Pics, an AI powered design tool built into Workspace, positioning it as a direct alternative to Canva and Adobe Express.
Google has introduced Google Pics, an AI-powered design tool that enables users to create posters, flyers, presentations, and social media graphics with just simple prompts. Integrated into Google Workspace, Pics utilizes Gemini and Google's Nano Banana image generator to produce professional-looking visuals even for those without design experience.
The new tool enters a crowded market, facing competition from Canva's Magic Edit and Magic Eraser, Adobe Express with Firefly, and other features. Google Pics' key advantage is its seamless integration within Google Workspace, allowing users to directly edit specific objects within an image without altering the rest. Text within images can be edited or translated across 29 languages, preserving the original font and design.
The tool also generates multiple variations from a single prompt, upscales images up to 4K, and auto-crops images for various platforms. Collaborative editing is also possible, with multiple teammates working on the same design. Access to Google Pics is currently available for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, AI Pro for Education users, and Workspace customers on certain plans.
