List of Google products. The technology conglomerate Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., has developed and released a vast ecosystem of products and services since its founding in 1998. This portfolio spans desktop software, mobile apps, consumer electronics, and large-scale cloud computing platforms. Many products, such as the Google Search engine and YouTube, have become integral to the global Internet infrastructure, while others have been consolidated or discontinued over time.
Desktop web applications
The company's suite of web-based applications is primarily accessed through the Google Chrome browser and centers on productivity and communication. Core offerings include Gmail for email, Google Drive for cloud storage and file synchronization, and the Google Workspace productivity suite featuring Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. For organization and scheduling, users rely on Google Calendar, while Google Meet and the legacy Google Chat service facilitate video conferencing and instant messaging. Other significant tools include Google Translate for language translation, Google Earth and Google Maps for geospatial exploration, and Google Scholar for academic research. The Google Ads and Google Analytics platforms are fundamental for digital marketing and web traffic analysis.
Mobile applications
Google's mobile ecosystem, deeply integrated with the Android operating system, includes both standalone apps and mobile counterparts to its web services. Essential communication apps are Google Messages and Google Duo. For navigation and local discovery, Google Maps and Waze are widely used, while Google Photos offers cloud-based image storage and management. The Google Play Store serves as the official app marketplace for Android, distributing applications, Google Play Books, Google Play Movies & TV, and Google Play Music (now migrated to YouTube Music). Other notable apps include the Google Assistant for voice commands, Google Pay for financial transactions, Google News for content aggregation, and Google Fit for health tracking.
Hardware
Google's venture into consumer hardware includes devices designed to showcase its software and services. The Pixel line encompasses smartphones like the Pixel 8, tablets, and the Pixelbook laptop. For smart home integration, Google offers the Google Nest series, including the Google Nest Hub smart display, Nest Audio speaker, and Nest Thermostat. Other hardware products include Chromecast for media streaming, Google Wifi mesh networking systems, and enterprise-grade devices like Google Glass Enterprise Edition. The company has also developed the Pixel Watch wearable and collaborated on products like the Daydream View virtual reality headset.
Operating systems
Google develops and maintains several operating systems that power a range of devices. The most prominent is Android, an open-source mobile operating system used by billions of smartphones and tablets globally. For personal computing, ChromeOS is a lightweight, web-centric operating system that runs on Chromebook laptops and desktops. On embedded systems and Internet of Things devices, Google deploys Android Things. While not a full OS, the Google Chrome browser itself functions as a platform for web applications. The company has also historically worked on other OS projects like Fuchsia.
Services and platforms
This category encompasses Google's large-scale infrastructure and developer platforms. The Google Cloud Platform provides enterprise cloud computing services, competing with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Core services include Google App Engine, Google Compute Engine, and data analytics tools like BigQuery. For developers, the Google Play Services API layer and the Firebase mobile development platform are essential. The Google Marketing Platform offers tools for advertising and analytics, while YouTube serves as a dominant video hosting service and social media platform. Other critical services are the Google Play distribution ecosystem and the Google Pay processing network.
Discontinued products and services
Google has a long history of discontinuing products, often through its process known as "Google Graveyard." Notable retired social services include Google+, Google Buzz, and Orkut. In messaging, the company has sunsetted Google Allo, Hangouts, and Google Talk. Other defunct products are the Google Reader RSS aggregator, the Picasa photo organizer, the Google Play Music streaming service, and the Google Nexus hardware line. The Google Stadia cloud gaming service was also shut down, alongside enterprise tools like Google Glass (consumer edition) and the Google URL Shortener.
