Google launched a new image-editing app named Google Pics, which features generative AI tools and fine-grain editing capabilities. The app is built on a system called Nano Banana that allows for object segmentation, enabling users to move, resize, or transform individual parts of images, whether they are AI-generated or not.
Users will also be able to modify text within photos directly, with the ability to translate text into different languages while preserving the original font style and size. Google Pics will integrate with Workspace apps, beginning with Slides and Drive, positioning itself as a competitor to Canva for designing quick posters and social media content.
Google Pics is launching today for a limited group of testers and will roll out globally during the summer to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. A preview of the app will be available for Workspace business users.
In addition to Google Pics, Google announced the rollout of AI Inbox for all Google AI Plus and Pro subscribers in the US. AI Inbox helps users prioritize important messages and time-sensitive tasks. Since its earlier preview at the start of 2026, AI Inbox has been updated with new features, including personalized draft replies and instant file access for Google Docs and Sheets files.
