In summary
- Google has expanded the availability of its Imagen 3 image generator to all users in the US.
- The company claims that the tool can generate images with more detail, fewer artifacts, and richer lighting.
- Imagen 3 is already used in the Pixel Studio app on Pixel 9 phones.
Google first unveiled the Imagen 3 text-to-image generator in May. The tool was limited to the Vertex AI development platform and a private preview. Thankfully, the company is now expanding access.
The search giant has quietly announced that Imagen 3 is now available to all US users (h/t: VentureBeat). You can try the updated image generator via Google's AI test kitchen.
Google claims that Imagen 3 is its “highest quality” image generator yet. The company specifically claims that generated photos offer more detail, richer lighting, and fewer artifacts.
The search giant also said it has “significantly improved” the tool's ability to understand prompts, adding that Imagen 3 will be available in multiple versions tailored for specific tasks, such as quick sketches and high-resolution images.
Imagen 3 powers the brand new Pixel Studio App on Pixel 9 Series Phones. The app offers text-to-image generation capabilities as well as image editing, powered by on-device AI. Still, you don’t have to buy a Pixel 9 phone to try out Imagen 3.
