Google\u2019s Gemini chatbot app now lets you modify both AI-generated images and images uploaded from your phone or computer, Google announced in a blog post Wednesday<\/a>. <\/p>\n Native image editing in Gemini will start rolling out gradually today, expanding to more people in over 45 languages and most countries in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n The launch follows on the heels of the AI image editing model Google piloted in its AI Studio platform in March, which went viral for its controversial ability to remove watermarks from any image<\/a>. Similar to ChatGPT\u2019s recently upgraded image editing tool<\/a>, Gemini\u2019s newfangled native image editor can in theory achieve better results than standalone AI image generators. <\/p>\n Gemini now offers a \u201cmulti-step\u201d editing flow that delivers what Google describes as \u201cricher, more contextual\u201d responses to each prompt with text and images integrated. You can change the background in images, replace objects, add elements, and more within the Gemini platform flow.<\/p>\n \u201cFor example, you can upload a personal photo and prompt Gemini to generate an image of what you\u2019d look like with different hair colors,\u201d explains Google in a blog post. \u201c[Or] you could ask Gemini to create a first draft of a bedtime story about dragons and provide images to go along with the story.\u201d<\/p>\n If this sounds like a deepfake risk, well, that\u2019s reasonable. Google says that images created or edited with Gemini\u2019s native image generation will include an invisible watermark, but not an visible one for now. The company is \u201cexperimenting\u201d with adding a visible watermark on all images generated by Gemini, however, it says. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
