Pixel Studio 1.4 Update Introduces AI-Powered Sticker Creation and Gboard Integration
The Pixel Studio 1.4 update has begun rolling out to Google Pixel devices, bringing exciting new features to the app. One of the most notable updates is the integration of Pixel Studio with Gboard, Google’s popular keyboard app. This integration allows users to create and view AI-generated stickers directly within Gboard, making the process smoother and more convenient. Previously, stickers could only be created within Pixel Studio, and although they could be saved, they weren’t directly accessible in Gboard, limiting their practical use. The new functionality opens up greater usability for users by allowing them to both generate and share their custom AI stickers through the keyboard.
The Gboard integration was first teased in Google’s December 2024 Feature Drop, which introduced a series of enhancements for Pixel devices. While the announcement mentioned the integration of Pixel Studio with Gboard, it didn’t specify the ability to generate stickers directly within the keyboard app itself. The full details, including the sticker creation capabilities, were outlined in the Play Store changelog for the Pixel Studio app. Now, Pixel users can seamlessly create new stickers in Gboard’s “Stickers” tab or through the “My Projects” library, giving them more flexibility in how they create and store their content.
The My Projects library in Pixel Studio allows users to create and save stickers, though it is accessible only through the Pixel Studio app. Users can edit their stickers within this library, ensuring they have complete control over the final product. Once created, these custom stickers can easily be sent in any messaging app, thanks to their integration with Gboard. This feature makes it more convenient for users to personalize their messages with unique stickers without needing to switch between different apps or tools.
While this update adds significant functionality to Pixel Studio, it’s worth noting that the AI sticker creation feature currently supports English language prompts only. This limitation could change in future updates, but for now, users will need to ensure their prompts are in English to generate their desired stickers. Overall, the Pixel Studio 1.4 update represents a major step forward in enhancing the user experience on Pixel devices, offering more creative possibilities and improving the convenience of generating and sharing AI-driven content.
