Imagen 3 People Generation Starts Appearing For Free Gemini Users

After rolling out document upload and analysis last week, Google is beginning to let free Gemini users generate images of people with Imagen 3.

Back in August, Google started rolling out the ability to generate images with people to Gemini Advanced subscribers. At the time, it was described as an “early access version.” This has since widely rolled out.

At the start of this month, Google brought that capability to the Gemini side panel in Gmail, Drive, Docs, sheets, and Slides, as well as Help me create (Docs), Help me visualize (Slides), and Help me create (Vids).

Users in recent days have noticed that image generation of people is starting to work in the free Gemini app. Previously, you saw: “Generating images of people is only available in early access with Gemini Advanced. Get early access to new Gemini features when you subscribe to Advanced here.”

Not Gemini Advanced accounts

People generation with Imagen 3 is not yet widely rolled out and only appearing on some free Gemini accounts we (US English) checked over the past day.

With the stable launch of 2.0 Flash a few weeks ago, the Gemini app also gained an “enhanced” version of Imagen 3, which “currently ranks #1 on the Image Generation Leaderboard.” It offers “richer details and textures, and follows your instructions with greater accuracy.”
