Google is rolling out an impressive new AI image editing tool with its Gemini app. It will give the users the ability to make creative changes to both AI-generated images and personal photos with remarkable ease. This new feature lets users perform a wide range of editing tasks that would typically require advanced skills and programs like Photoshop. The tool makes complex image manipulation accessible to everyone through simple text commands.
Gemini New Image Editing Tool
The update brings several exciting capabilities for Gemini users:
- Add and remove objects from your photos.
- Change the background of images completely.
- Combine two separate photos into one seamless image.
- Make creative edits to appearance details like hair color.
This means you can now ask Gemini to do things like remove a stranger from your vacation photo, change a cloudy sky to a sunset, or even add a pet that wasn’t in the original picture.

- Create personalized bedtime stories complete with matching AI-generated illustrations.
- Edit your hiking photos to look like they were taken on the moon.
- Transform ordinary pictures into fantasy scenes.

For example, you could upload a photo from your backyard and ask Gemini to make it look like you are standing on a tropical beach or floating in outer space.
Maintaining Trust With Watermarking
As AI image manipulation becomes more powerful, Google is taking steps to ensure transparency. All images, edited or created with Gemini, will contain SynthID watermarks, an invisible digital marker that identifies an image as AI-modified.
These watermarks can’t be seen by the human eye, but can be detected by special tools. This helps prevent misuse of technology and makes it clear that images have been altered with AI. Google is also testing visible watermarks for even greater transparency.
Multi-Step Editing For Natural Results
According to David Sharon, Group Product Manager for Gemini apps, the tool’s strength lies in the ability to handle complex, multi-step edits while maintaining a natural look. The system processes changes in a way that preserves the overall realism of the image.
In the Google demonstration, they showed how a photo of Dalmatians on grass could be transformed step-by-step:
- First, adding a yellow cap to the dog.
- Then, changing the background from the grass to a beach.
- The final results look so natural that edits are nearly undetectable.
Global Availability
The new feature supports 45 different languages, making it accessible to users worldwide. This international approach helps people collaborate on image projects regardless of what language they speak. Google is gradually rolling out the image editing capabilities for use across many countries, expanding Gemini’s reach globally.
iPhone Integration
In recent news, Google appears to be making progress in talks with Apple about bringing Gemini to the iPhone. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has suggested that the deal might be reached by mid-2025. If this partnership goes through, iPhone users might see Gemini‘s capability integrated with Siri, allowing Apple’s assistant to handle more complex questions and tasks by tapping into Gemini‘s advanced AI abilities.
This image editing update represents just one way that Google continues to enhance Gemini’s capabilities, making AI tools more accessible and useful for everyday users while addressing concerns about responsible AI development through features like watermarking.
