FAQ
Let’s consider a few commonly asked queries regarding adding images to the prompt in Bard.
Can Google Bard identify images of people?
No, Google Bard currently doesn’t identify images of people. If you give it an image with people, it is most likely to return to you the message that “it can’t help with images of people yet”.
Can you send image links to Google Bard?
Unfortunately, Google Bard cannot use an image link to understand images as of now. You will invariably have to download the image or capture it on your phone and then transfer it to Bard as shown in the guide above.
Can Google Bard generate images?
Yes, Google Bard can generate images based on your prompts.
Though Google Bard beat Bing AI in the race to get the image prompt feature out to users as fast as possible, it is still behind the eight ball when it comes to the ways in which images can be uploaded and what Bard can do with it. Nevertheless, these are all welcome steps that users from both camps would love to experiment with.
