Summary

  • Google’s Imagen 3 AI model for the Gemini app is available free to users for generating images of people.
  • It had previously only been accessible to paid subscribers of the Advanced, Business or Enterprise plans.
  • The update came in February 2025 and seems to be rolling out gradually to US-based users using the app in English.
  • It arrives alongside Gemini 2.0 Flash, Google’s fastest Gemini model, which has also been made freely available.
  • It can produce images faster and to a higher quality than usual AI image generation.
  • This makes Gemini’s free offering a competitor to paid services such as Midjourney.
