Google is expanding Google Pics, a new graphics creation tool that aims to simplify working with visual content in a similar way to Canva did years ago. The difference is that this time, artificial intelligence is at the center. The user doesn't have to start with a blank canvas or know exactly what the resulting design should look like.
Google Photos was already presented at the conference Google I/O 2026, but wider availability is only now coming. Google offers it as a separate application and at the same time gradually integrates it into its Workspace ecosystem.

AI graphics without eternal testing
The principle of working in Google Pics is very simple:
- The user describes what they want to create.
- Google Pics will prepare a suggestion.
But you can also work with existing images from Google Drive, Google Photos or directly from the device. Alternatively, images are generated via Nano Banana. Subsequent editing is supposed to be one of the main advantages, as the tool can recognize individual objects in the design, so specific parts can be to move, change their size or further modify them.
Translations into other languages
An interesting feature is also text translation directly in the graphics. This makes it easier to create a single design in multiple language versions, which is useful for companies, marketers, and creators who publish content for an international audience.
Google Pics does not yet offer the same level of manual editing as Canva, which allows AI to be used as just one of many functions. Google but he is betting on the opposite approach: as much work as possible, notchat on artificial intelligence and humanchat especially the final tuning.
Google Photos in Workspace
The new feature is gradually being made available to Google Workspace customers with plans Business Standard, BusinessPlus, Enterprise Standard a EnterprisePlusIt is also available for users Google AI Pro a Ultra and for customers Google AI Pro for EducationThe AI tool can also be easily found at: workspace.google.com/productwith/pics.
At the beginning, Google Pics is linked to Google Drive and Slides. It is also expected to make its way to Google Docs later. If Google can pull off the integration, the integration with Workspace could be its biggest advantage over standalone graphics tools. But there is a lot of competition, so it's a big question whether Google will be able to attract enough users.
