Today, we're releasing five new tools that show how you can keep pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling in Google Flow, our AI creative studio. These five tools — all built by creatives — prove there’s increasingly no limit to what you can build in Google Flow. See how they can help you shape your next story, from concept to final cut.

1. Character Poster, by artist and filmmaker James Gerde

James Gerde treats his social feeds like curated galleries where visual consistency is everything. He built Character Poster to turn simple story concepts into polished, beautifully designed visuals. It helps creators maintain a signature style across their social stories — and can save hours of production work.

2. Character Arc, by filmmaker and visual storyteller Anurag Tiwari

Anurag Tiwari built Character Arc to show how a character changes over time. It lets storytellers visualize the same character across different ages and life stages without losing their core look, speeding up character development before full production begins.

For his documentary “Children of the Sun,” which features present-day interviews with subjects reflecting on events from 1974, Anurag is using Character Arc to trace the protagonist’s life from childhood through adulthood.

"It helps me build his background while keeping him recognizable as the same person across different periods of the story," Anurag says.

3. Pixel Machine, also by Anurag Tiwari

Inspired by his love for retro digital aesthetics, Anurag also created Pixel Machine to give filmmakers and artists a playground that goes beyond polished AI visuals. It converts images into bitmap, ASCII, CRT, pixel art, and glitch styles, making it easier to design stylized title treatments, transitions, and music video visuals.

4. Lucid Glass, by artist and creative director Ezra Paulekas

Ezra Paulekas designed Lucid Glass to recreate the way light passes through glass, generating prisms, halos, refractions, and optical blooms. It works like an "impossible lens," giving photographers and filmmakers effects they could never capture with glass alone.

5. Pocket Studio, by visual development artist and filmmaker Ryan McCoy

Drawing on more than two decades in previsualization and visual effects for major motion pictures, Ryan McCoy built Pocket Studio to turn everyday phone footage into more polished shots. From a single take, the tool generates multiple camera angles and upgrades the visual fidelity, all while keeping the actor’s original performance intact.
