AI-powered tool that turns long videos into short clips for social media.

An experimental AI image remixing tool from Google Labs, powered by Gemini 2.0 and Imagen 3. Whisk takes a different approach to image creation than text-prompt tools: instead of writing a description, users combine three source images to define what they want. A subject image provides the person, object, or character. A scene image provides the setting, environment, and composition. A style image provides the visual aesthetic, color palette, and rendering approach. Whisk fuses all three into a new, high-quality image that reflects all sources without copying any of them directly. This makes it ideal for fast creative exploration, product mockups, character design iterations, and combining photography styles with illustrated aesthetics. Results are generated in seconds using Imagen 3. Free to use at labs.google with a Google account. A more advanced mode, Whisk Animate, adds motion to remixed images for short animated clips.
