Gemini's Upgraded Image Uploads Let You Attach Multiple Photos To One Prompt

Contents

Summary

Google Gemini web interface supports multiple image uploads for some users.
The feature is still rolling out and not widely available.
Uploading multiple images can be helpful for educational and creative purposes.

Google Gemini is getting an image-generation upgrade. As flagged by Android Authority, several users on Reddit have reported that Gemini’s web interface now supports uploading multiple images in a single prompt.

In one thread on Reddit posted last week, at least three users claim to be able to add multiple images to a single prompt in Gemini’s web app. The post’s author, Gaiden206, includes a screenshot (see below) showing that they were able to combine three characters from separate images into a single image. Gaiden206’s screenshot shows they’re a Gemini Advanced subscriber, and used the 2.0 Flash model to combine the images.

The functionality doesn’t seem to be widely available yet. Multiple commenters on Reddit say they’re still limited to uploading one image at a time. That lines up with our experience: I’m an Advanced subscriber, and I’m not seeing it yet on the web or in the mobile app. AP News Editor Dallas Thomas reports the same. After uploading a single image in the web interface, mousing over the + symbol that opens Gemini’s Add files menu prompts a tooltip that reads “Only a single image file is supported.”

Apparently a staged rollout

The ability to upload multiple images in a single prompt has some real practical applications. If you’re trying to identify a plant species, for example, multiple images from different angles may help Gemini make a more accurate determination. And as Gaiden206’s post illustrates, you can also use the feature to create the crossover AI slop of your dreams.

If you’re an Advanced subscriber, be on the lookout for the new functionality soon. It’s unclear whether the ability to upload multiple images in a single prompt will be coming to the free Gemini experience or whether it’ll be an Advanced exclusive.
