Google is preparing to resolve one of the most frustrating limitations of its Gemini AI image generator. According to the latest discoveries in the beta version of the Google application, users will soon be able to say goodbye to the imposed square format which until now characterized all the tool’s creations.
Google app beta 15.41.34.29.arm64 introduces new resizing options for Gemini image generation. Unlike a simple cropping tool, this new feature allows AI to intelligently generate additional details to fill in empty spaces when an image is enlarged or edited.
With these changes, Google aims to make Gemini ever more versatile since the launch of Imagen 3 last August. The tool now offers a better understanding of prompts and even allows you to generate four images simultaneously thanks to the “Imagen 3 Fast” function.

Gemini is no longer limited to square images, finally!
Gemini integration also extends across the Google ecosystem. Google Slides users can now create AI images directly from their presentationsprovided you have an Enterprise, Education account, or subscribe to Google One AI Premium. The Pixel 9 also benefits from this integration in its Screenshots application, but remember that this is only available across the Atlantic.
It is important to note that Gemini maintains certain ethical restrictions, including the inability to generate images of people. This limitation, recognized by Google as an initial “dud”is now considered a welcome precautionary measure.
Although the rollout date for these new resizing options has not yet been announced, their presence in the beta suggests an imminent release. The end of the “obligatory square” is definitely an important step towards greater creative flexibilityallowing users to adapt their creations to different formats, from 16:9 to custom formats, while maintaining the quality and consistency of the generated images. It’s about time Google made its AI a little more flexible, and we can’t wait to see how users use these new features.
