Google has officially rolled out Pixel Studio 1.5, bringing major new features, including image and sticker generation of people, a faster sticker creation process, and a new Light theme option. This update also expands Pixel Studio’s availability to new regions and introduces additional artistic styles for more expressive creations.
Key Highlights of Pixel Studio 1.5
✔️ People Generation: Users can now create AI-generated images of people, with certain restrictions.
✔️ Faster Sticker Creation: A dedicated “Create a Sticker” option has been added to the homescreen.
✔️ New Light Theme Option: Users can now select between Light Mode, Dark Mode, and System Default.
✔️ Expanded Availability: Pixel Studio is now available in Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria with support for English, Japanese, and German.
✔️ New Artistic Styles: Additional creative styles such as Ukiyo-e, Stained Glass, Colorful, Children’s Book, and Minimalism are now available.
People Generation Feature: A Major Addition
One of the most notable changes in Pixel Studio 1.5 is the introduction of AI-generated people. When you update to this version and tap Create, a new “Now you can create images of people” prompt appears, notifying users of this capability. However, Google is still fine-tuning this feature, so some generated results may be unexpected or blocked.
⚠️ Important Restrictions:
- Realistic images of celebrities or children cannot be generated.
- Some AI-generated images may be restricted based on Google’s content policies.
Despite these limitations, this feature opens up new creative possibilities for users looking to generate unique and personalized images.
Faster Sticker Creation with a Dedicated Button
Pixel Studio 1.5 makes sticker creation even more seamless with the addition of a third FAB (Floating Action Button) on the homescreen.
Now, alongside the “Create” button and the option to generate an image from an existing photo, a new “Create a sticker” button has been added to the left.
🔹 Users have two options when creating stickers:
1️⃣ Describe your sticker – Enter a prompt and let AI generate a sticker.
2️⃣ Make one from an existing photo – Convert any image into a sticker instantly.
This improvement makes custom sticker creation faster and more intuitive.
New Light Theme Option in Pixel Studio 1.5
For those who prefer a lighter UI, Pixel Studio 1.5 introduces a Light Mode, alongside Dark Mode and System Default.
📌 How to Enable Light Theme:
- Open Pixel Studio.
- Tap the account menu in the top-right corner.
- Select “Light” Theme or choose “System default” to match your device settings.
This addition enhances customization and usability, giving users more control over their interface.
New Artistic Styles for More Expressive Creations
Google has also expanded the artistic styles available in Pixel Studio. These new styles allow users to generate more creative and visually distinct images.
🎨 New Styles Introduced:
✅ Ukiyo-e – Inspired by traditional Japanese woodblock prints.
✅ Stained Glass – Creates images with a mosaic glass effect.
✅ Colorful – Generates vibrant, high-saturation designs.
✅ Children’s Book – Produces soft, whimsical, and illustrated-style images.
✅ Minimalism – Focuses on clean lines and simple compositions.
These styles rolled out as a server-side update and are available on both Pixel Studio 1.4 and 1.5.
