Google Images gets a Pinterest-like redesign focused on discovery
Now, when users navigate to Google Images, they'll see a "For You" gallery of images tailored to their interests and browsing history.
Get smart on it
Google Images is redesigning its image search engine to function like a browsable gallery focused on discovery rather than just search functionality. The redesign includes a "For You" gallery tailored to user interests, the ability to save images to personal collections, and a new feature that generates custom images directly within search results using AI when users have specific ideas that don't already exist online. This shift matters because it could increase the time users spend on Google's platforms, which benefits the company's ad revenue, while also encouraging users to create images within Google's ecosystem rather than turning to third-party services. The changes are rolling out over the coming weeks to desktop users in the U.S. who are signed into Google accounts.
