Lettering on a poster. You want it in another language, in the same font, in the same place, without touching the background.
Until now that meant a professional editor and someone who knows how to use it. According to Google, Pics does it from a prompt.
Fact
The facts: on 1 September 2026 Google announced Google Pics, a Workspace tool for creating and editing images that is rolling out over the coming weeks to all Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and most Workspace business customers. Pics is built on the Nano Banana image generation and editing model. Its features include isolating an object and transforming it without altering the rest of the image, comments on specific areas with multiple edits at once, editing and translating text inside an image without changing the font, collaborative editing of the same image, and several options from a single prompt. Pics is both a standalone product and built into Workspace; the integration starts with Docs and Slides, and comes to Drive in the coming weeks. The post is by product manager Meg Whittenberger.
Anyone who has fixed someone else's presentation the night before a meeting can see where the real change is. Not in generation. The change is that editing moves to where the office sits all day: in the document and the slide.
Generators are everywhere. An editor where the office already works is something else.
And here comes the question of taste. When anyone in the office can swap the background of a product shot with one sentence, presentations will get glossier and more alike. The tool does not ask whether it should.
Cyrillic is the first thing we will check when Pics reaches us. The announcement does not say a word about it.
