Google Launches Google Pics, an AI Design Tool for Workspace

Google has launched Google Pics, an AI image creation and editing tool designed to let users create visuals with prompts instead of starting from a traditional design canvas. Google says Pics is rolling out to most Workspace business customers and Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

The tool is powered by Google’s Nano Banana image generation and editing model. It is aimed at everyday creative work such as posters, social media graphics, marketing visuals, and digital illustrations, putting image generation and editing into a single workflow.

Google Pics combines prompting with precise editing

Google Pics can generate multiple versions of an image from a prompt, then let users isolate individual objects and move, resize, or transform them without changing the rest of the image. Users can also edit or translate text directly inside an image.

The approach is different from traditional design software because the initial visual can be created from a description rather than assembled manually from templates and elements. Google is also adding collaborative editing so teams can work on the same visual.

Google has been expanding Nano Banana across its products. The model is already used for image generation in Google Earth, while Google has also brought Nano Banana image generation into Google Images.

Google Pics is moving into Workspace

Google says Pics is available today through its standalone experience, with Workspace integrations rolling out in Docs and Slides. The company says Google Drive integration is also planned.

The launch puts Google directly into a market that includes Canva and Adobe Express, but Google is emphasizing AI generation and object-level editing rather than a template-first design workflow.

Google first introduced Pics at I/O 2026 as a limited trusted-tester product. The latest rollout expands access to eligible Google Workspace and Google AI subscribers.
