For instance, you could use Google Pics to create a poster, social media posts, and other visuals and illustrations. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But unlike Canva, where artists, illustrators, and photographers can publish templates, graphics, photos, and other art to a marketplace where they earn royalties, Google Pics is about creating things based on AI, which was trained on artists\u2019 work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And unlike Adobe Express, a tool creators often use to make that work in the first place, Google Pics is a tool where you prompt to create, not where you design something new from scratch.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"tcembed-iframe tcembed--youtube\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Say hello to Google Pics from Google Workspace\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S18L1NFTda8?feature=oembed\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app also includes other editing tools, like those to isolate and transform objects, modify or translate text inside images, and others. Plus, it supports collaborative editing and the ability to create several different generations of the image you\u2019ve requested, so you can pick the best one. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The software will be built into Google Workspace, initially starting with Docs and Slides, which rolls out today. It will later come to Google Drive, the company says. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/09\/01\/googles-answer-to-canva-is-an-ai-tool-where-you-prompt-instead-of-design\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/google-pics.webp?resize=1200,675&#8243;] Google is entering the creative design market with a new image-creation and editing tool called Google Pics, which will become a part of its Google Workspace suite for business customers and premium Google AI subscribers.
