Google retired Whisk as a standalone tool on 30 April 2026. Its subject-scene-style remixing now lives inside Flow, Google's combined image and video studio, and the old Whisk address redirects there on its own.
If you had images sitting in a Whisk library, they are gone. Google deleted anything that wasn't migrated before the cutoff. Credits carried across by themselves, so there was nothing to do on that side. Flow hasn't launched everywhere, which caught out people in countries where it still isn't offered.
The three-input idea survived the move intact — you still hand it a subject, a scene and a style. What changed is that Flow puts video generation and a scene builder on top, so the same reference images can drive a short clip instead of a single frame.
Most of the guides on this site were written while Whisk was still standalone, and we are working through them. Where a page tells you to open Whisk, open Flow instead — the workflow is much the same, the address is not.
