Google's newest app is an AI-powered image editor

Key points

• Alongside an array of updates across its Workspace apps, including Docs and Drive, Google is launching a new image-editing app that combines generative AI tools with fine-grain editing.
• Google Pics is built on Nano Banana, with object segmentation, meaning you'll be able to move, resize or transform individual parts of your images, whether AI-generated or not.
• While we've seen this kind of thing (with varying degrees of success) from Google, Adobe and even on-device on some smartphones, Pics has some new ideas of its own.
• You'll be able to modify text inside a photo directly and even translate it into different languages.
• Google says Pics will maintain the font style and size when it does so.
