Google Images unveils brand-new homepage and AI image generation to mark 25th anniversary

Google is marking the 25th anniversary of Google Images with two significant updates aimed at expanding how users explore and create visual content. The first change introduces a redesigned homepage for Google Images, featuring a dynamic gallery that displays images from across the web in real time. This immersive gallery is tailored to user interests and allows saved ideas to appear as accessible tabs above the gallery, helping users revisit and organize inspirations with ease. The update will roll out on desktop devices in the United States, in English, over the coming weeks.

Alongside the homepage revamp, Google is integrating image generation capabilities into AI Overviews within Search. By leveraging the latest Nano Banana model, users can turn a simple text prompt into a high-quality, fully original image directly from the search interface. This feature addresses scenarios where the right image does not yet exist online, bridging the gap between user imagination and visual results. Image generation in AI Overviews will become available in English in all regions currently supporting image creation via AI Mode, with rollout scheduled in the coming weeks.
