Google just released a major upgrade to its AI image model inside Google Gemini—now users can edit any image with a simple text prompt. This next-gen functionality makes advanced photo editing effortless, allowing personalized changes, style transfer, blending images, and much more, even for complete beginners.
What’s New in Gemini’s AI Image Editor
Text-Prompt Editing: Simply type or speak your wishes, like “make my hair pink” or “add a puppy next to me,” and the AI transforms your photo instantly.
Background and Object Changes: Swap backgrounds, remove distractions, blend scenes, or add elements—all with natural language commands.
Photo Merging and Inpainting: Merge people or pets from separate images, or use semantic masking to edit specific objects without distorting faces or settings.
Style Transfer: Ask Gemini to recreate your image in an artistic style—watercolor, anime, vintage photography, and more.
Consistency and Realism: Gemini’s state-of-the-art “nano banana” model preserves the details and likeness of faces and objects, even during heavy editing or outfit swaps.
Iterative Multi-Step Edits: Refine your edits in a multi-turn, conversational workflow—just keep chatting with Gemini to tweak results until satisfied.
Integrated in Google Gemini App: Accessible to everyone, supporting over 45 languages and most countries, with native features expanding daily.
