What’s happened? If you use Google Gemini for AI-generated images, this is big news. According to Android Authority, Google is working on a new image-annotation feature in Gemini that will let you draw, highlight, or add text directly onto generated images without leaving the app. A leak shared by TestingCatalog on X suggests this tool will be available on the web version soon.
- The upcoming tool would let you directly mark up images by highlighting an area, circling something, or writing notes, within Gemini’s interface.
- You could also use annotations as instructions: draw over a detail and tell Gemini what to change, giving you tighter control over edits.
This is important because: Until now, users had to export AI-generated images from Gemini and open a separate editing app to annotate, refine, or retouch them. That extra step meant more time, extra tools, and re-edits. With the new annotation tools, Gemini could become an all-in-one creative workspace. Whether it is highlighting a region for correction, adding labels, or guiding the AI for precise edits, this could be a game-changer for creators who rely on Gemini for quick visuals.
Recently, Google rolled out Gemini 3 as its next big leap in AI capabilities; however, Gemini 3 Pro users may soon see their free access come to an end.
What to expect? There is no official timeline for this feature yet, but once it launches, expect to see:
- A built-in markup interface where you can draw over images or highlight areas
- Better control over editing, for example, circle a background element and ask Gemini to remove or replace it.
In addition to this, Google may soon let Gemini explain anything on your screen without even circling it, opening the door for smarter and faster lookups. Meanwhile, if you are looking to level up your skills with Gemini, these prompts from a 100-hour deep dive are a great place to start.
