Gemini adds in-chat file editing; non-PDF formats remain web-only
PDF editing covers web and mobile; account and regional requirements still apply.
Google announced in-chat file previews and direct editing for Gemini on October 29. PDFs work on web and mobile; other formats, including documents, spreadsheets, slides and code, are web-only. This updates editing, rather than launching file generation for the first time.
Google says it is available now across supported markets and languages. Individual accounts were not tested. Review output and avoid uploading confidential material without authorization.
