Exciting news for photography enthusiasts! Google Photos is set to revolutionize how we edit images, making the process faster and more intuitive than ever. At the highly anticipated Made by Google 2025 event in New York, Google unveiled a groundbreaking feature that allows users to edit their photos simply by describing their desired changes—either through typing or voice commands. This innovative upgrade is powered by Google’s advanced Gemini AI technology and will first roll out on the upcoming Pixel 10 in the U.S.
Effortless Editing with Voice or Text Commands
Gone are the days of tedious scrolling through editing tools or fiddling with sliders. With the new Google Photos feature, you can simply instruct the app to “remove the cars in the background,” or make general requests like “restore this old photo” or “enhance this picture.” Watch as your images transform instantly! Plus, you can combine multiple edits in one go, such as “eliminate reflections and adjust the washed-out colors,” and refine your edits with follow-up instructions until your photo is perfect.
A Smarter Photo Editor Experience
This innovative conversational editing capability builds on the recently redesigned Google Photos editor, which already includes AI-powered suggestions, one-tap fixes, and smart tools like distraction erasing. Now, you can easily alter backgrounds, add fun elements like party hats or sunglasses to your subjects, and explore endless editing possibilities—all by simply telling Google Photos what you envision.
AI Transparency in Photo Editing
In an effort to promote transparency in AI-assisted edits, Google is integrating C2PA Content Credentials into both the Pixel Camera app and Google Photos. This industry-standard feature tags images with crucial information about how they were created or modified. The Pixel 10 will be the first device to utilize C2PA Content Credentials, allowing users to view detailed metadata about their photos, including when and how they were edited and whether AI was involved. This initiative helps users navigate the complexities of image authenticity in an age where deepfakes and synthetic media are increasingly prevalent.
Coming Soon to More Devices
Initially available on the Pixel 10, these exciting new features will gradually expand to other Android and iOS devices in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for a seamless photo editing experience!
