If your text documents look like endless walls of words, Google is adding some tools to help break them up. The company just started rolling out new visual features powered by Gemini directly inside Google Docs. You will no longer need to switch tabs or open a separate image editor to make a document look more professional or engaging.
Edit or create graphics directly in your browser
You can now ask the AI assistant to generate completely new images, charts, and infographics without ever leaving the page. Better yet, the system reads the content of your document to figure out what kind of visual makes sense. For instance, you could ask it to build an infographic that summarizes a project proposal you just wrote.

If you already have pictures in your document, you can use natural language prompts to tweak them. You can tell the assistant to crop an image to a 16:9 ratio, change the visual style, or even apply a consistent look across several different graphics all at once.
These new options show up in both the side panel and the bottom bar. Right now, this upgrade is only available on the web version of Docs, and you need to be on an eligible Workspace, education, or Google AI plan to see it. The rollout started this week and should reach everyone over the next 15 days.
