Gemini's personalized image generation for free

Key points

• 1

  How personalized images work: Gemini now uses your Google Photos, Gmail, and YouTube data (with permission) to create images based on your life. For example, if you prompt "design my dream house," Gemini pulls context from your connected apps to generate a realistic image without needing to manually upload photos. This means you can skip explaining your preferences in detail and focus on creating — like generating an illustration of you and your favorite things directly from your existing Google Photos. The key is that you control this connection through your settings, so you can adjust or disable it at any time.

  Eligible U.S. users can access this feature for free starting today, but only if they connect their Google accounts to Gemini. This requires enabling Personal Intelligence in your settings, which links to Google Photos, Gmail, and YouTube. If you’re eligible, you’ll see the new image generation option in Gemini’s interface. The feature is limited to users who have already connected their Google accounts to Gemini, so it’s not available to everyone immediately. This means you should check your eligibility and connect your accounts if you haven’t already to start using the tool.
