Edit images in Google Photos by simply asking
We’re making it unbelievably easy to quickly edit your images in Google Photos ― just ask Photos to edit your pictures for you. Coming first to Pixel 10 in the U.S., you can simply describe the edits you want to make by text or voice in Photos’ editor, and watch the changes appear. And to further improve transparency around AI edits, we’re adding support for C2PA Content Credentials in Google Photos.
Edit by simply asking
Our recently redesigned photo editor already makes editing quick and easy for anyone — regardless of your editing expertise — by providing AI-powered suggestions that combine multiple effects for quick edits and putting all our powerful editing tools in one place. You can also simply tap or circle parts of an image right when you open the editor and get suggestions for editing that specific area, like erasing a distraction.
Today, we’re introducing conversational editing capabilities in the redesigned photo editor, so you’ll have more ways to make stunning edits, including simple gestures, one-tap suggestions and now, natural language. Thanks to advanced Gemini capabilities, Photos can now help you make custom AI-powered edits that bring your vision to life in just seconds. No need to select tools or adjust sliders. All you have to do is ask Photos for the edits you want to see.
Because this is an open-ended, conversational experience, you don’t have to indicate which tools you want to use. For example, you could ask for a specific edit, like “remove the cars in the background” or something more general like “restore this old photo” and Photos will understand the changes you’re trying to make. You can even make multiple requests in a single prompt like “remove the reflections and fix the washed out colors.” And if you truly have no idea where to start, you can just start by typing or saying, “make it better” or using one of the provided suggestions. Then if you want to make tweaks, you can add follow-up instructions after each edit to fine-tune your image and get it looking just right.
Beyond corrective edits like lighting and removing distractions, you can ask for more creative help. For example, you could change the background of your image, add fun items like a party hat or sunglasses to the main subject and so much more. Without having to worry about choosing which tools to use and how they’ll work together, the possibilities are wide open when it comes to editing — all you have to do is tell Photos what you want to see, from simple tweaks to complex edits.
See how your images were made for added transparency
Pixel 10 devices will be the first to implement industry-standard C2PA Content Credentials within the native camera app, across photos created by Pixel Camera, with and without AI. To further improve transparency around how images are made, we’re adding support for C2PA Content Credentials in Google Photos — in addition to the existing support for IPTC metadata for AI-edited images and SynthID for images edited with Reimagine.
Available first for Pixel 10 — and rolling out gradually on Android and iOS devices over the coming weeks — you’ll now be able to see information right in Google Photos indicating how an image was captured or edited based on C2PA Content Credentials.
Gemini models support so many creative and useful features in Google Photos — from search to editing. We’ll continue to explore how to continue to use them to bring you new, helpful ways to use the app.
