Google’s AI can not only generate text, Gemini is capable of creating images with a quality that has nothing to envy of ChatGPT’s DALL-E 3 or Midjourney. However, multimedia content creation is not available in Spanish or in Spain. Although there is a way to generate images with Gemini.
I often combine several chatbots to take advantage of each one’s strengths, and also to be able to buy them in order to test future AIs. And if I need to generate a cover image because I don’t have any photo to finish an article, I usually use ChatGPT or Midjourneyusually with good results after a couple of attempts. Although Gemini also works, it often performs better than its competition.
Gemini does not generate images in Spanish or Spain. Solution: a VPN
Google is bringing image generation to more languages and countries, with English and the United States being the main support at the moment. So the way to get around the block is to mimic the conditions under which Gemini has no limits. This is valid for both Gemini Free and Gemini Advanced.
Google lets Gemini create graphical content if you send it the instructions in English and use the chatbot with a US IP. When I need to use this AI feature, I activate the VPN, locate it to any US server and practice my English lessons. Or better yet: I ask Gemini to create the prompt for me in English and I stick it back to youIt works much better than it looks.

The process to unlock image creation on Gemini follows these steps:
- Open the VPN app on your mobile and select a US server.
- Tap the Gemini app installed on your phone, launch the wizard or open the website. Any method will do.
- Now describe the image you want to generate, but do it in englishIf you try it in Spanish Gemini will tell you it can’t do that.
- To create more precise images, you can ask Gemini something like “Make me a prompt in English to make an image of…” and briefly describe what you want. Then, copy the text that it made for you and paste it back: you will see that Gemini creates the image for you.
One of the advantages of Gemini is that it has no limits on the creation of graphic content: you can ask it for the images you need. If you already have a VPN on your Android you can take advantage of it this way, it is very practical.
