   Google lets you create, preview, and edit PDFs and other files directly within the Gemini app

   On October 29, 2026, Google added the ability to directly create, preview, and edit files to the Gemini app and web version, supporting documents (text, Markdown, LaTeX), PDFs, presentations, and spreadsheets. Users can select content and ask Gemini to modify text or visual elements, and can continue asking follow-up questions to make adjustments. Generated files can be downloaded in their original format, opened in apps such as Google Slides, or uploaded to Google Drive via the export button in the upper right corner. PDF preview and editing are supported on both web and mobile, while other formats are supported only on the web; this feature is available to all languages and users who can use the Gemini app.
