Common problemGoogle GeminiWeb and mobile app
Gemini can't generate images
Image requests refused or failing
Gemini replies that it can't generate images, even for requests it normally handles. Google's advice is to start over in a new chat, and it notes that some features are not available to every account.
How to fix it
Open a New chat and enter your prompt again.
Wait a few minutes, since high traffic or a temporary limit can block requests.
Check whether you are using a work or school account or an account for someone under 18, which may not have every feature.
From Google Gemini's help pages: support.google.com, in our words. Checked on 5 November 2026. If the steps do not help, Google Gemini's own support is the next stop.
