Enhanced AI sticker creation functionality in Gboard has recently been rolled out by Google in the Pixel Studio 1.4 update, allowing users to create as well as share AI-created stickers directly from the Gboard keyboard app. Traditionally, users had to jump between the Pixel Studio app and Gboard keyboards to use custom stickers to be able to make changes, which was not effective.
AI Sticker generation in Gboard
With the update, users can access a dedicated “Stickers” tab within Gboard, allowing them to generate stickers without hassle. After generating stickers, users can send them right away through messaging apps to enhance creative communication. The integration only supports English prompts, which allows for clear and precise sticker creation.
How to Create Simple Stickers
Google has streamlined the process of creating stickers with the latest update in Pixel Studio. Users can now open Gboard and click on the “Sticker Picker” option. Under this option, they will find the Pixel Studio tab labeled “Made by me.” They can then tap the “Add” button to access the My Projects library and create new stickers easily.
The My Projects library allows for two creation modes: Image and Stickers. Once selecting Stickers, users type a description of the sticker they want. The application will process the input to generate a custom sticker. This simple method saves a lot of time and also doesn’t require any extra design tools.
Organized Sticker Management
Pixel Studio now organizes user-created stickers effectively. Once generated, stickers appear in both the My Projects library and the Gboard stickers tab. This dual accessibility streamlines the user experience by reducing repetitive actions.
Additionally, users can edit saved stickers directly within Pixel Studio. This feature ensures that custom stickers remain up-to-date and align with users’ creative visions. The new structure fosters better sticker management and encourages creative expression.
Wider Availability and Rollout
Google announced the Pixel Studio 1.4 update as part of the December 2024 Feature Drop. It is targeting the Pixel 9 series first, with wider availability in the following weeks. Google usually rolls out in phases to ensure that features are launched without overwhelming its servers.
The new features were announced but did not mention Gboard integration. Later, from the Play Store changelog, users realized it was there, and it was a very welcome addition to the Pixel community. It caused massive excitement on tech forums everywhere.
With the Pixel Studio 1.4 update, Google has opened up further creative possibilities for its users. The company has simplified creative communication by merging AI-driven design with Gboard’s widespread use. It allows users to generate, save, and share custom stickers within seconds.
The update underlines Google’s efforts to improve user experience by continuously enhancing features. This ability to create stickers on the fly reflects modern communication trends, which emphasize visual expression.
Looking Ahead
There’ll be more users experiencing it as Google rolls out this creative innovation of Pixel Studio 1.4 internationally. Future updates may entail support for additional languages along with enhanced sticker customization features. With each update, Google sets new standards regarding its AI-powered creativity.
Overall, Pixel Studio 1.4 unites creativity and convenience with the power of effortless visual storytelling. Users can enjoy a fun, efficient, and dynamic messaging experience empowered by cutting-edge AI technology.
