Google unveils Pixel Studio, a new app for offline image generation

Google has announced Pixel Studio, a new app for AI image generation on the Pixel 9 series. The app will leverage an on-device Imagen 3 model for offline results and offer in-app image editing features. While the Pixel 9 smartphone lineup was the highlight of today’s Made by Google event, the company also announced a new app to create AI images. Dubbed Pixel Studio, the app uses an on-device model to transform text-based prompts into images. Beyond basic image creation, the app offers editing tools that allow you to reposition or erase objects within the frame. It will also suggest art styles, such as cinematic and anime, depending on the prompt. Many of the best AI image generators are locked behind an expensive monthly subscription. However, Pixel Studio’s offline processing means that you won’t have to pay for the feature beyond the initial cost of owning a Pixel 9 series device. It’s unclear if the app will make its way to older Pixel devices.
