  • Google has rolled out its Imagen 3 image generation tool to Gemini users across mobile and desktop.
  • The tool spots sophisticated image generation capabilities, but free users can’t create images of people without a Gemini Advanced subscription.
  • Imagen 3 leverages Google’s SynthID to watermark images generated using the tool to curb the spread of misinformation.

After what might have seemed like eons, Google is finally rolling out its long-anticipated Imagen 3 AI-powered image generation tool to Gemini users across mobile and desktop. Consequently, Gemini AI will leverage the new image generation tool to create images by default. 

It’s worth noting that the tool is broadly available for all Gemini users, even those using the free tier. However, the new tool’s capabilities are fairly limited for free users. As highlighted by TechRadar, free users can’t leverage the tool’s capabilities to generate images of people. They’ll need an active $20 subscription for Google’s Gemini Advanced service.
