Google Photos Unveils Revamped Editor with Advanced AI Features
Google marks a decade of Google Photos with a revamped editor launch. The update introduces AI-powered tools—Reimagine and Auto Frame—previously exclusive to Pixel devices, now accessible to a broader audience.
Reimagine leverages generative AI to alter photo elements and backgrounds via text prompts. For instance, transform a cloudy sky into “vibrant blue skies.”
Auto Frame offers tailored framing suggestions, including cropping, expanding, or using AI to fill gaps seamlessly.

Users can tap specific photo areas to access tailored editing tools, such as adjusting brightness or blurring backgrounds.
The redesign will roll out globally to Android devices next month, with iOS support arriving later this year.
Google also introduced QR code-based album sharing, simplifying access for others. Print QR codes for group events, allowing anyone with the code to view or contribute photos.

¡Qué pasada! El nuevo editor de Google Photos con IA parece de otro planeta. Me flipa eso de Reimagine, cambiar fondos con solo pedirlo es como magia. Aunque, ¿no da un poco de miedo tanto poder en la edición? 😅 Ojalá saquen más cositas así para todos.

The new Google Photos editor sounds like a game-changer! Reimagine and Auto Frame seem super cool, but I wonder how much AI can really 'reimagine' my blurry party pics. 😅 Excited to try it on my Android!

The new AI tools in Google Photos sound dope! Reimagine is like giving my pics a sci-fi makeover. But, is it just me, or does Auto Frame feel like it’s trying to outdo my photography skills? 😅

Wow, Google Photos stepping up with AI tools like Reimagine is wild! 🖼️ Been using it for years, but I’m curious—will these features stay free or go behind a paywall soon?
