Google has officially launched a free version of Google Vids, its lightweight video-creation tool, now available to all Gmail users — no Workspace subscription required. According to Google’s Workspace Blog, the free version includes the full editor, template-based workflows, screen-recording import and simple timeline controls.
However, it’s important to clarify one point: while Google Vids is now free for everyone, the advanced AI-powered features—like AI voice-over, automatic silence removal, filler-word cleanup and AI avatars—remain limited to Workspace and paid Gemini AI plans.
(Confirmed through Google’s announcements + TechCrunch’s coverage.)
This still marks a meaningful shift: creators, students and educators now get a polished, no-cost editor built directly into Google’s productivity ecosystem. You can create explainer videos, tutorials, class projects or social-ready clips without paying a subscription.
For AI-powered features, users will either need a Workspace plan or an upgraded Google AI Pro tier.
This is a perfect moment for creators to explore Google Vids and learn the workflow before the more advanced AI tools roll out more widely.
