If you are a developer with a supported Google Pixel device, you can manually update that device to the latest build for testing and development. You’ll need to do a full device reset, so make sure to back up your data first. Builds are available for the following Pixel devices:
- Pixel 4a (5G)
- Pixel 5 and 5a
- Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
- Pixel 6a
- Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
- Pixel 7a
- Pixel Fold
- Pixel Tablet
After you’ve flashed a beta build to your Pixel device, your device is automatically enrolled in the Android Beta for Pixel program and offered continuous over-the-air (OTA) updates to the latest beta builds (including QPRs) until you choose to unenroll that device from the program. We also deliver flashable images at each milestone, so you can choose the approach that works best for your test environment.
Use the following links and instructions to update your supported device to the latest build. See Get Android 14 for other ways to get Android 14 for testing and development.
Warning: Flashing to a Beta build from a production build—or going back to a production build from a Beta build—requires a full device reset that removes all user data on the device. Make sure to back up the data from your Pixel first.

Flash your device using Android Flash Tool
Android Flash Tool lets you securely flash an Android 14 Beta system image to your supported Pixel device. Android Flash Tool works with any Web browser that supports WebUSB, such as Chrome or Edge 79+.
Android Flash Tool guides you step-by-step through the process of flashing your device—there’s no need to have tools installed—but you will need to unlock your device and enable USB Debugging in Developer options. For complete instructions, see the Android Flash Tool documentation.
Connect your device over USB, then, depending on the type of system image you want to flash, navigate to Android Flash Tool using one of the following links and follow the onscreen guidance:
- Normal system images: Use https://flash.android.com/preview/udc-beta4.1.
-
64-bit-only system images: Select the device you are trying to flash:
- Pixel 4a (5g)
- Pixel 5
- Pixel 6
- Pixel 6 Pro
Flash your device manually
You can also download the latest system image and manually flash it to your device. See the following table to download the system image for your test device. Manually flashing a device is useful if you need precise control over the test environment or if you need to reinstall frequently, such as when performing automated testing.
After you back up your device data and download the matching system image below, you can flash the image onto your device.
You can choose to return to the latest public build at any time.

Return to a public build
You can either use the Android Flash Tool to flash the factory image, or obtain a factory spec system image from the Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices page and then manually flash it to the device.
Warning: Going back to a public build from a Beta build requires a full device reset that removes all user data on the device. Make sure to back up your data first.
