Bringing your memories to life is at the heart of Google Photos. With Photo to video, you can already turn your images into fun, short clips, and starting today we’re enhancing that feature with our state-of-the-art video generation model, Veo 3. This means you can now turn your still images into even higher-quality clips.
You can find this powerful new tool, along with other generative AI features, in our new Create tab.
Now available in the U.S., the Create tab is your central hub for creativity in Google Photos. It’s the perfect place to easily find the tools you want and discover new ones. You can even combine features, like using Remix to restyle a photo and then using Photo to video to turn it into a unique video!
Here’s a look at what you can do with the features currently in the Create tab.
Photo to video allows you to add motion to still photos — and today we’re starting to roll out an upgrade to it with our Veo 3 video generation model. Just choose the Photo to video option from the Create tab, select your photo and pick between two prompts — “Subtle movement” or “I’m feeling lucky” — to see your photos take on new life as short video clips. Google Photos users get a limited number of generations each day, with more generations for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
Remix reimagines your photos in various styles of your choosing. Turn any regular photo into an anime, comic, sketch or even 3D animation version of the original. Google Photos users get a limited number of generations each day, with more generations for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
Collage helps you pick multiple photos, select a design and choose a layout for them. You can also edit photos directly from the collage editor, like turning up the brightness or adding filters.
Highlight videos put together montages from your galleries. Search using phrases like “Mom” or “Paris” and Photos will choose the best clips and photos, add music and create a video for you. You can choose from the provided suggestions or try all kinds of search queries to see what Photos will come up with.
Cinematic photos are vibrant, moving, 3D representations of your photos. You may have already seen these show up as you view your auto-generated memories in Photos, and you now have the ability to make them for yourself in the Create tab.
Animations turn multiple still shots into one animated gif. Just select “animation,” and then the photos to include. Photos will make you a GIF recreation using those images.
