Learn How to Generate AI Images with Google Using Text Descriptions

Generating images from text has become a popular trend in the field of AI. Tools such as DALL-E and Midjourney have gained recognition for their ability to transform words into visual representations. Google, the renowned search engine, has recently introduced its own contribution to this trend called the Search Generative Experience (SGE) feature. Initially designed to provide answers on the search page, Google has now expanded its capabilities to include generating images using AI technology. This feature was unveiled by Google in August 2023.

This is how it works:

1. Get Started: First, you need to enable the SGE feature, but it’s only for US residents 18 years of age or older.

2. Describe your idea: go to Google.com and type in the search box what you want to see, such as “create a picture of a flying car”.

3. See Magic: Press Enter or click the search icon to see up to four AI-generated images in the results.

4. Edit and save: Click on one of the images to see it up close. You can change the description or add more information by clicking the Edit button. When you’re satisfied, click “Export” to download the image or save it to Google Drive.

Tips for using Google SGE: Keep these tips in mind to get the most out of this great feature.

Make your query a prompt. Start with action words like “create”, “draw”, “make” or “create” to get the AI image generator working.

Let your imagination run wild. SGE is not just serious business; it’s a fun way to explore your creativity. Try to make funny, surreal or impossible pictures. Need some ideas? Check out our article on AI ideas.

Be respectful. Although it is fun, SGE is not intended to produce harmful or offensive content. If you try, it won’t work and will ask you to try something else.

With Google’s SGE, you can turn your ideas into AI images right in your search results. It’s a new, creative way to use Google Search, making it more exciting and imaginative than ever before.
