With the right editing tools, your photos can really shine. Google Photos has several features to help you enhance your pictures without pro-level editing skills, from removing a distraction in the background to unblurring a fuzzy shot. And now we’re bringing those capabilities to even more people.

Starting on May 15, many of our AI-powered editing tools — like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur and Portrait light — will be available to anyone using Google Photos1, no subscription required. You'll also be able to access these features on more devices, including Pixel tablets.

Here’s a closer look at some of these editing tools, and how they can spruce up your photos:

Make complex edits with Magic Editor​

Last year, we launched Magic Editor on Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Using generative AI, this editor makes it easy to do complex photo edits with simple and intuitive actions, like repositioning your subject or turning the sky from gray to blue. Now we’re expanding access to Magic Editor to all Pixel devices.

Additionally, all Google Photos users on Android and iOS will get 10 Magic Editor saves per month2. To go beyond this limit, you'll need a Pixel device or a Premium Google One plan (2TB and above).

These tools will gradually roll out starting May 15 and over the following weeks to all devices that meet minimum requirements. Look out for them in Google Photos to help make your shots picture-perfect.

Hi there
I'm sure this will just get better and better -- also typical mobile phone photo editing apps themselves are now so much more advanced than it was several years ago -- but I still think the individual creativity of a "human" photographer will always be preferable to what might become now just typical snapshots.

Another possible worry though is what google does with all those photos stored on the cloud -- there's no guarantee that these pictures won't eventually be loaded into various databases whether clandestine or open as facial recognition software itself improves a pace.

Worth a try out though.

Cheers
