Google Photos has revamped its editor with AI-powered tools, transforming the way users edit and enhance their photos. Starting next month, the new features will be available to Android device users, followed by iOS later this year.
Google Photos Redesigns Its Editor with New AI Tools
Google is celebrating 10 years of ‘Google Photos‘ by launching a redesigned editor that incorporates new AI features. The redesign brings these tools to more users, including those on Android devices.
Bringing AI-Powered Editing to Everyone
The new editor adds two key AI-powered features: Reimagine and Auto Frame. These tools were previously exclusive to Pixel devices but are now available to all ‘Google Photos’ users. The Reimagine feature uses generative AI to transform objects and backgrounds in photos with text prompts. For example, you can ask to replace a gloomy sky in one of your photos with ‘clear blue skies.’ The Auto Frame feature suggests different ways to frame a photo, whether it’s by cropping, widening, or using generative AI to fill in the blank spaces.
Google Photos is a photo and video storage service developed by Google.
It allows users to store, share, and manage their digital 'photos and videos' across various devices.
The platform offers unlimited storage for 'photos up to 16 megapixels' and 'videos up to 1080p resolution' .
Google Photos also provides features like automatic album creation, facial recognition, and search functionality.
As of 2022, over 4 billion people have used Google Photos, making it one of the most widely used photo management platforms globally.
Enhancing Editing with AI-Powered Suggestions
The new editor gives users helpful suggestions and puts all its editing tools in one place. You can use AI-powered suggestions that combine multiple effects for quick edits with the new ‘AI Enhance’ option. For example, you could combine AI effects like image sharpening and object removal. Alternatively, you can tap specific parts of a photo to get suggested tools for editing that area. Google may suggest that you adjust the lighting or blur the background.
Google Photos Editor is a powerful tool for editing and enhancing photos.
With its intuitive interface, users can adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation levels, as well as crop and rotate images.
The editor also offers advanced features like HDR, noise reduction, and color pop.
According to Google, over 1 billion people use Google Photos every month.
The editor is available on both desktop and mobile devices, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
New Features and Updates
The redesign will start rolling out globally to Android devices next month, with iOS following later this year. In addition to the new editor, users can now share albums with QR codes to make it easier for others around them to access an album. You can also print out the codes for a group event, where anyone with the code will be able to view and add photos to the album.
Google Photos is a cloud-based photo and video storage service that allows users to store, organize, and share their media files.
With over 1 billion active users, it has become one of the most popular image sharing platforms worldwide.
Users can upload up to 16 megapixels for photos and 1080p HD for videos, with unlimited storage for photos and videos under 16 megapixels.
