Snapchat has launched Imagine Lens, a new AI-powered tool that lets users create and edit images from text prompts. Available to Snapchat+ Platinum ($15.99/month) and Lens+ ($8.99/month) subscribers, the Lens allows people to generate Snaps with custom or pre-loaded prompts, such as “make me into a caricature” or “turn this into a comic.”

The feature marks Snapchat’s first open-prompt image-generation Lens, building on the company’s push into generative AI. Users can edit prompts by tapping the caption bar and then share results in Snaps, Stories, or outside the app.
