Google launches Pixel Studio app for image generation on Pixel 9 phones

Google has launched Pixel Studio, an AI image generation app exclusive to its new Pixel 9 phones. Unlike established competitors, Pixel Studio is free and designed for casual users, offering on-device and cloud-based image generation. The app uses Google's latest Imagen 3 model, which improves image quality and reduces AI artifacts. However, it has restrictions on generating human images and may block certain prompts, requiring users to adjust their requests. Pixel Studio allows users to create and edit images easily, with options for different styles and basic editing tools. A guide on effective prompting techniques is included to help users generate desired images.
