Music Creation in Gemini

Gemini Music: Latest Updates

Overview

The Gemini app facilitates new forms of musical expression by transforming prompts and images into custom soundtracks. A user might, for instance, turn a “welcome to the team” email into a track. Or, an educator could generate custom instrumentals for class presentations or projects.

What’s changed?

  • Extended Track Lengths: Users can generate short music clips around 30–60 seconds or full-length tracks up to 3 minutes
  • Soundtrack Your Content: In addition to text prompts, users can upload images or educational slides to generate tailored soundtrack audio
  • Granular Customisation: Direct dropdowns and prompting controls allow users to specify genre, tempo, instruments, vocal timbre, and toggle between vocal vs. instrumental tracks
  • Audio & Video Exports: Generated tracks can be downloaded as standard MP3 audio files or as MP4 videos with AI-generated cover art and subtitle tracks for presentation integration
  • Watermarking & Safety: All tracks automatically embed SynthID digital audio watermarking to signify AI generation and adhere to Google AI safety standards.

Describe and Customise your Music Track

Choose the length, vocals, genre and describe exactly what you want and for what scenario.
