To accompany its unveiling of the Pixel 10 series, today Google has also announced a new feature for Google Photos. As rumored earlier this month, the app now has support for conversational AI-powered editing. This is coming first to the Pixel 10 line in the US.
The functionality lets you simply describe the edits you want to make by text or voice in the Photos editor, and the changes will then magically appear.
This is obviously powered by Google’s Gemini. Since it’s an open-ended experience, you don’t have to indicate which tools you want to use. Just talk as you normally would, and AI will take care of the rest.
Examples Google provides include “remove the cars in the background”, “restore this old photo”, “remove the reflections and fix the washed out colors”, or even just “make it better”. There are also some suggestions provided in case you don’t know what you want. You can add follow-up instructions after each edit to fine tune things to your liking. You can also change the background, add items – the sky’s the limit, just ask.
The Pixel 10 devices are the first to implement industry-standard C2PA Content Credentials in the native camera app, across photos created by it, with and without AI. Google Photos is also gaining C2PA support, so you’ll be able to see information about how an image was captured or edited based on C2PA Content Credentials right in Google Photos – first on the Pixel 10 family, and rolling out gradually on Android and iOS devices “over the coming weeks”.
