Gemini AI can now edit images, show what you’d look like with a different hair color
Gemini’s mobile app for iOS and Android now lets you prompt the AI chatbot with image editing queries for both newly generated and uploaded photos.
Google launched native AI image-editing capabilities for Gemini that work with both the photographs you upload to Gemini and visuals created using the built-in AI image generator. Gemini, formerly Bard, is Google’s AI chatbot.
With these changes, it’s now possible to use Gemini’s iPhone app, released in November 2024, to upload your own selfie and then ask the chatbot to render a version where you have a different hair color or a completely new hairstyle.
Gemini for iPhone can now edit images
“For example, you can upload a personal photo and prompt Gemini to generate an image of what you’d look like with different hair colors,” reads the announcement. You can also prompt Gemini with other image-editing requests, including changing backgrounds, replacing objects, adding new elements and other requests.
These AI image editing features are based on Google’s AI Studio, which developers use as a workshop to create new AI features or apps. “Building on the positive feedback from people using this feature, we’re expanding these capabilities to the Gemini app,” reads the announcement.
Google says that AI image editing in the Gemini app lets you include both text and images in your prompts to create more contextual images. As an example, Google says you could ask Gemini “to create a first draft of a bedtime story about dragons and provide images to go along with the story.”
Whether you use Gemini to generate new AI images from scratch or touch up existing photographs with native image editing, Google will embed its invisible SynthID digital watermark to identify AI-generated content. The company is currently “experimenting” with adding a visible watermark to all images generated by Gemini.
When iOS 19 is released this fall, iPhone owners may be able to choose Gemini instead of OpenAI’s ChatGPT to power certain Apple Intelligence features. The company hopes to reach an official deal with Apple in time for iOS 19’s big reveal at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai said recently in his testimony during a federal antitrust trial.
How to download Gemini on your iPhone
Native image editing is rolling out in Gemini’s mobile app in stages. The feature will be available in “over 45 languages and most countries in the coming weeks,” so check back later if you don’t have it.
You can also manually update your installed copy of the app by hitting “Update” on Gemini’s App Store page. If you don’t see this option, you have the latest version.
