Gemini in Google Docs now lets you generate in-line images
Google Docs is getting a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature that allows users to generate in-line images. It was announced on Friday that the feature will be available to Google Workspace users via Gemini. The text-to-image generator is powered by the Mountain View, California-based tech giant’s Imagen 3 AI model and can generate high-resolution images that can be added to the document. Users can also choose between different aspect ratios and picture styles. Earlier this year, the tech giant added an AI-powered cover image feature to Google Docs.

In one blog postthe tech giant has detailed the new feature. Gemini in Google Docs allows users to generate inline images using text prompts. The feature is powered by the company’s latest image generation model Imagen 3, which can create images of people, landscapes, objects and more in a wide range of styles.

Users can activate the feature by clicking the ‘Insert’ menu and navigating to ‘Help me create an image’ within the ‘Images’ option. This will open the Gemini side panel. The same Insert menu also has a ‘Cover Images’ option, which allows users to generate AI-powered cover images.
To generate an in-line image, users can type a text prompt indicating what they want and then choose from three aspect ratios: square, wide, and tall. Moreover, users can also choose between different styles including photography, vector art, sketch, watercolor, cyberpunk and more.
After you click the ‘Create’ button, the function will generate four different images. Users can choose one or click ‘View More’ to see more options. Once selected, the image is added to the document and can be manually adjusted on the page.
Specifically, the feature is rolling out to Google Workspace users with Gemini Business, Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education, Gemini Education Premium, or the Google One AI Premium add-on. Currently the feature is only available on the web. While the feature has already been rolled out to eligible users, it may take up to 15 days to appear in Docs.
