Generate and edit visuals with Gemini in Google Docs

You can now create and edit images, diagrams, and infographics directly alongside your text using Gemini in Google Docs. These images leverage the context of your document, so you can generate relevant visuals to accompany your writing without ever leaving Docs or relying on external tools. Plus, you can refine your existing visuals and graphics using simple natural language prompts.

With this new functionality, you can:

Create rich infographics or diagrams summarizing your docs: Ask Gemini to “Add a diagram providing an overview of the proposal at the top of my doc” or “Create a rich infographic visually summarizing my doc.”
Refine existing visuals: Use natural language to “Change the aspect ratio to 16:9” or “Make the style more aesthetic to match the rest of the document.”
Create or edit multiple visuals at once: Ask Gemini to add infographics in each key section, or update the style of multiple visuals at once.

You can access these capabilities from the bottom bar or the Gemini side panel in Google Docs.

Note: This feature is currently supported on the web only.

Gemini in Google Docs allows you to create and edit images, diagrams, and infographics directly within your document using natural language prompts. Powered by Google’s latest image generation models, Gemini seamlessly uses your document’s text as context to create highly relevant visuals. [1, 2]

🎨 How to Generate New Visuals

You can generate inline images, full-bleed document cover art, custom diagrams, or structured infographics without leaving your page. [2, 3]

Open your document on Google Docs.
Click on the area of the document where you want the visual to appear. [4]
Open the generation tool using one of these quick methods:
- Navigate to the top menu and select Insert > Image > Generate an image.
- Click the Ask Gemini button (the spark icon) at the top right of the toolbar to open the side panel. [4, 5]
In the Gemini panel, type a descriptive prompt.
- Example for diagrams: "Add a diagram providing an overview of the proposal at the top of my doc."
- Example for infographics: "Create a rich infographic visually summarizing my doc."
- Example for regular imagery: "Watercolor painting of hydrangeas in a water pitcher." [1, 4, 5, 6]
(Optional) Customize your image by selecting an Aspect Ratio (Square, Wide, Tall) or clicking Add a style (e.g., Photography, Sketch). [3, 7]
Click Create. Hover over your preferred option and click Insert to place it on the canvas. [5, 6, 8]

✏️ How to Edit Existing Visuals

Gemini allows you to alter images and graphics that are already in your document using simple, natural-language commands. [1, 2]

Modify Specific Features: Click on an existing image or diagram, open Gemini, and ask it to alter the content directly. For example, you can prompt: "Add a fluffy white cat to the background" or "Make the text in this flowchart larger".
Adjust Aspect Ratios: You can rapidly resize and restructure visuals by entering prompts like: "Change the aspect ratio to 16:9."
Change Graphic Styles: To maintain a cohesive document theme, you can command Gemini to: "Make the style more aesthetic to match the rest of the document."
Batch Editing: You can create or update multiple visuals at once with a single command, such as instructing Gemini to: "Add infographics to each key section" or "Apply a consistent color palette to all visuals in this document." [1, 2, 9]

💡 Tips for Better AI Visuals

Incorporate Context: Because Gemini reads your text, you can prompt it with phrases like "based on the table above" or "summarizing my conclusion section" to get highly relevant, hyper-tailored graphics. [1, 2]
Be Specific: Include explicit details regarding the subject, setting, distance to subject, materials, and background in your prompts for optimal results. [4]

Note: These features are available to Google Workspace accounts with eligible Gemini add-on plans (such as Gemini Enterprise, Business, Education, or Google AI Premium) with smart features enabled. [1, 10]
