Google Pics is Workspace’s new ‘pro-level’ AI image creator & editor

Google Pics, a new AI image creator and editor, has become generally available in Google Workspace. The image-editing tool integrates directly into Google Docs and Slides, allowing users to access the editor as an overlay. In the upcoming weeks, Google Pics will extend its capabilities to allow editing of images stored in Google Drive.

Google Pics offers multiple ways to start editing an image. Users can generate a new image with various options, import files from their computer, Google Drive, or Google Photos, or edit existing images. The tool utilizes Nano Banana technology to enable precise, object-based image editing. This feature allows users to isolate specific parts of an image, leaving the rest untouched, and apply text comments to execute multiple edits simultaneously.

One of the key advantages of Google Pics is its ability to edit text in images without altering any other elements. This feature also supports translation. The editor is based on the same platform used in other Workspace applications, making collaboration seamless. Users can invite others to work on the same image and share it via a link. Enterprises can utilize Google Pics for a variety of use cases.

Google Pics is currently available in the following tiers starting today. For more details, viewers can check out 9to5Google on YouTube.
