Google Photos Introduces AI-Based Photo Editing for Android Users
Google has announced that Android users can now utilize AI to edit their photos directly within Google Photos. This innovative feature enables users to describe their desired edits using natural language, either through voice commands or text, simplifying the editing process.
The new functionality is powered by Google's Gemini AI and initially launched on the recent Pixel 10 devices in the United States back in August. Now, it is accessible to all Android users in the U.S., making photo editing more intuitive and accessible.
Getting started is straightforward: users can tap on “Help me edit” within the photo editor and then describe the edits they want. Whether you're unsure where to begin, you can choose from Gemini's suggested enhancements or simply command the AI to “make it better.” The tool supports a variety of edits, including lighting adjustments, removing distractions, background object removal, and restoring old images. It even allows for creative modifications, such as adding fantastical elements powered by AI.
As you continue editing, Gemini will respond to follow-up requests, enabling precise fine-tuning of your images. Currently, this AI editing feature is available to users aged 18 and older in the U.S. and supports English language commands.
Alongside the editing tool, Google also announced support for C2PA Content Credentials in Google Photos. This feature helps identify when images are generated or altered using AI. Initially launched on Pixel devices, Content Credentials are now expanding to Android devices as well.
