What happened

Google launched Pics, a standalone image generation and editing tool built on its Nano Banana model. Users can isolate objects, edit or translate text inside images, collaborate, and generate several options from one prompt. Google says support in Docs and Slides starts September 1. Drive support rolls out over the next few weeks.

Why it matters now

Google is adding image generation and editing to Workspace, where people already make documents and presentations. That moves some design work into Google's office tools. Access is limited at launch. Google says Pics is rolling out to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and most Workspace business customers, not every Workspace user.
