Google has announced that it’s now rolling out AI image editing to all Gemini users, and it’s as easy as texting a friend. No Photoshop skills? No problem.
Talk to Your Photos (Well, Almost)
Gemini now lets you upload any image, whether it’s a selfie, a sunset, or your dog in a Halloween costume—and ask it to make changes. Want a new hair color? Different background? A random UFO photobomb? Just type it in.
This feature was previously tucked away in Google AI Studio, but now it’s going global, with support for 45 languages. That means millions of users can start playing around with AI edits directly in the Gemini app or website.
And the best part? It works kind of like a conversation. You can keep tweaking your image by chatting back and forth with Gemini, asking it to “make the sky pink” or “add sunglasses to my cat.” Think of it as Google’s own version of a magic wand for your camera roll.
Use It Like a Pro (Without Being One)
Gemini’s editing chops go beyond fun filters. You can:
- Swap objects in your image
- Change backgrounds
- Add entirely new elements
- Reimagine your look (yes, like trying a new hairstyle before committing)
Google even hints at storytelling features. You can generate a short story and have AI whip up illustrations to match.

But Wait, What About Deepfakes?
Good question. Google knows that realistic AI edits can be misused, so they’re adding an invisible watermark to all AI-generated content. They’re also testing visible watermarks to help users tell real from fake at a glance. Smart move.
Gemini’s new editing tools are rolling out now, so if you’re feeling creative (or curious), this could be your new favorite digital toy. Just remember, just because you can add a llama to your wedding photo doesn’t always mean you should… or does it?
