On 2026-09-01, Google announced the launch of "Google Pics," an AI-powered image generation and editing tool for its cloud service, Google Workspace. The tool is based on the generative AI models "Gemini" and "Nano Banana," aiming to provide more granular control over image creation and manipulation via prompts.
In terms of functionality, the tool is characterized by its ability to intuitively generate and edit "professional-grade" images for business use. It also supports features for selectively editing specific parts of existing images and integrates with various apps within the office suite, such as Google Docs and Google Slides. According to reports, the tool is positioned to compete with existing design platforms like Canva and Adobe Express and is designed with corporate users in mind. The rollout is expected to occur sequentially.
