Last year, Google introduced the Pixel Studio app specifically for the Pixel 9 series, granting smartphone users straightforward access to personalized AI-generated visuals. This convenient feature was faster than utilizing an image generation model in an AI chatbot, such as Gemini. With the June 2025 Pixel Feature Drop, Google has further streamlined the process of creating and distributing AI-generated cartoon images.
This Android 16-powered update incorporated custom AI stickers into Gboard, making these distinct images just a few taps away from any social networking or messaging application. Users can generate their own stickers directly from the emoji keyboard on their Pixel 9, and this guide will explain how to do it.
