What Features Do You Get With Gemini Advanced? [April 2025]

Gemini Advanced is the paid version of the Gemini app with more capabilities, including early access to features, that’s available through the Google One AI Premium tier. As of April, here’s what you get when you pay $19.99 per month (in the US).

• Google offering free Gemini Advanced, 2 TB storage, & more for college students

Gemini Advanced features

Gemini Live camera and screen sharing 

At the moment, Project Astra-powered camera and screen sharing is widely rolled out for Gemini Advanced subscribers. In mid-April, Google announced how access is rolling out to all free users on Android in the coming weeks.

Veo 2

Gemini Advanced subscribers can generate videos with Veo 2. Google touts “fluid character movement, lifelike scenes, and finer visual details across diverse subjects and styles,” as well as “cinematic realism.” You get eight-second MP4 files at 720p resolution. There is a “monthly limit” on how many videos you can generate.

You also get access to Whisk Animate. This Google Labs experiment lets you “prompt with images” instead of text, with Veo 2 now letting you turn images into videos.

Premium model 

This subscription lets you access Google’s most premium model. It started with 1.0 Ultra before advancing to 1.5 Pro. That was followed by 2.0 Pro, though it never left the preview stage before being replaced by 2.5 Pro (experimental). 

As of mid-April 2025, 2.5 Pro is also available for free users but with “rate limits.” Gemini Advanced provides “expanded access and a significantly larger context window” (see below). It remains to be seen whether free access to 2.5 Pro will eventually go away and be replaced by 2.5 Flash, which can reason depending on the prompt.

Long context window 

Gemini Advanced users get access to a long context window of 1 million tokens, which is equivalent to 1,500 pages of text or 30,000 lines of code. This allows you to upload significantly longer documents, with free users getting a 32K context window that translates to “around 50 pages of text.”

Paying customers also get “much higher usage limits.” This is not specific to the premium model, with the 1M token context window currently available in 2.0 Flash and 2.5 Flash (experimental).

Spreadsheet and code analysis

All (free) users can upload documents and slides, but spreadsheets (Google Sheets, CSVs, and Excel files) require a subscription. This can be used to analyze and visualize (charts) data. Supported file formats:

• Spreadsheet files: XLS, XLSX
• Spreadsheets created in Google Sheets
• Tabular data files: CSV, TSV

The ability to upload code folders and repositories also requires Advanced. Google touts how you can get “insights from thousands of lines of code, make intelligent changes, debug errors, and optimize your code for peak performance.”

• Code files including C, CPP, PY, JAVA, PHP, SQL, and HTML

Deep Research

Gemini’s first agentic lets you ask a question and get back a multi-point research plan that can be further customized. Once you approve, Gemini will search the web, analyze what it found, and compose a report. It’s available to all users, but Advanced customers get more reports and Deep Research powered by 2.5 Pro (experimental).

Reference past chats 

This Advanced feature lets Gemini look at past conversations you’ve had with the chatbot to inform the current response. You can “mention topics or timeframes of past chats” to trigger, while this capability can also be used to summarize previous conversations. To know when this has occurred, check the “Sources and related content” section for “Previous chats.”
