Summary
- Google's AI image generation app Pixel Studio has been shut down.
- The app has been replaced by Gemini, with a new button guiding users.
- Google announced the closure in February, gradually removing features.
Google has officially closed down its Pixel Studio application, an AI-powered image generation tool. The app, which was introduced in 2024 alongside the Pixel 9 smartphone, has been replaced by Gemini. Users who update the Pixel Studio app will now find a prominent button directing them to download or open Gemini.
The decision to close Pixel Studio was announced in February of this year. Since then, Google has been systematically disabling its core features. Most recently, the photo editor component was stripped of its AI capabilities.
The app's shutdown signifies a shift in Google's strategy for AI image generation, consolidating its offerings under the Gemini brand. Users looking for AI image creation tools are now encouraged to explore Gemini for their needs.
