Google launches Google Pics, an AI-powered image creation and editing tool for Workspace

Google Pics is a new AI tool for creating and editing images within Google Workspace. It allows users to generate and refine custom graphics using text prompts, isolate objects, edit or translate text within images, and collaborate with others in real time. The tool is designed to streamline visual content creation by integrating directly into Google Docs, Slides, and Drive, enabling users to edit images where they already work.

The tool is built on Google’s Nano Banana image generation and editing model, which provides precise control over image creation and editing tasks. Features include object segmentation for isolating and transforming specific parts of an image, in-image text editing and translation without disrupting design elements, and multiple generation options from a single prompt.

Google Pics will be available as both a standalone product and an integrated feature within Workspace apps. The integration starts with Docs and Slides, with Drive support rolling out in the coming weeks. Access to Google Pics begins this week for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and most Workspace business customers, with a broader rollout planned over the coming weeks.

The launch emphasizes reducing workflow friction by allowing users to create, edit, and collaborate on images without switching between applications. Google highlights the tool’s potential for designing social media content, digital announcements, and product mockups directly within Workspace.
