Google introduces Google Pics, an image tool based on the Nano Banana model, integrated into Docs, Slides, and Drive, offering fine-grained control such as object segmentation and text editing, available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and most Workspace business customers.
On September 1, 2026, Google announced the launch of Google Pics, a new AI tool for creating and editing images, integrated into Google Workspace. Built on the Nano Banana image generation and editing model, the tool aims to provide precise control, enabling users to design posters, create social media posts, or edit digital illustrations.
Google Pics will be available as a standalone product and integrated into Workspace apps, starting with Slides, Docs, and Drive. Integration begins today (September 1, 2026) for Docs and Slides, with Drive rolling out in the coming weeks. The tool will be available to all Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and most Workspace business customers in the coming weeks.
Google Pics offers a range of fine-tuned editing capabilities, allowing users to generate images and make precise edits rather than starting from scratch. Key features include object segmentation, which lets users isolate an object and transform it without altering the rest of the image; users can also input text comments in specific areas to request targeted changes and perform multiple edits simultaneously.
Additionally, the tool supports in-image text editing and translation, allowing users to directly modify or translate text within an image without disrupting the design or changing the font. Users can also share their creations with friends and teammates for collaborative editing of the same image. Finally, Google Pics generates multiple options from a single prompt, letting users choose their favorite from various iterations.
Google emphasizes that millions of users interact with billions of images in Workspace products each month. To streamline the experience, Google Pics is integrated directly into the tools users already use, eliminating the need to jump between apps to create and share visual content. Users can leverage AI image generation and editing directly in Slides, Docs, and Drive, without copying, pasting, or switching tabs.
Users can also accelerate their workflow by dragging and dropping files directly from Google Drive into Google Pics to design brand concepts. This integration begins with Docs and Slides, with Drive rolling out in the coming weeks.
