Google launched Pics, a new AI-powered image editing app that combines generative AI tools with granular editing capabilities. The app is built on Nano Banana technology and features object segmentation.

Pics allows users to move, resize, or transform individual parts of images, whether AI-generated or photographed. The app can modify text directly within photos and translate it into different languages while maintaining the original font style and size.

The launch comes alongside updates to Google's Workspace apps, including Docs and Drive. Pics will integrate with Workspace applications starting with Slides and Drive, positioning it as a potential rival to Canva for poster design and social media content creation.

Google is rolling out Pics today to a limited group of testers. The app will become available globally this summer to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, with a preview coming to Workspace business users.

AI Inbox expands to more users

Google also announced that AI Inbox is now rolling out to all Google AI Plus and Pro subscribers in the United States. The feature prioritizes important messages and time-sensitive tasks to help users manage their inboxes more effectively.

Since its preview in early 2026, AI Inbox has gained additional capabilities including personalized draft replies and instant access to files stored in Google Docs and Sheets. The feature generates suggested responses rather than simple reminders.

The image editing market has seen similar AI-powered tools from Adobe and smartphone manufacturers, though Google's approach focuses on maintaining visual consistency during text modifications. Object segmentation technology allows for more precise editing of individual elements within photos.

Pics represents Google's continued push into AI-powered creative tools, expanding beyond its existing photo editing features in Google Photos to offer more sophisticated editing capabilities for business and creative users.
