AI Tools Power Reimagine Photo Edits
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Google Photos is rolling out a redesigned editor featuring advanced AI tools. Previously exclusive to Pixel devices, new features like Reimagine, Auto Frame, and AI Enhance are now becoming widely available, aiming to make professional-grade photo editing accessible to everyone (TechCrunch).
AI Tools Enable Reimagine Transformations
Reimagine is a standout AI tool that uses generative AI to modify photos via simple text prompts. You can swap gloomy skies for sunny ones or insert new objects like trees or animals—no technical skills required. This feature, once exclusive to Pixel 9, now empowers everyone to create visually compelling images (The Verge, TechCrunch).
Auto Frame AI Tool Refines Composition
Auto Frame is another intelligent AI tool that automatically enhances image composition. Whether cropping, reframing, or filling in blank spaces, it detects key subjects and regenerates missing background areas seamlessly. Even imperfect shots get a professional polish with a single tap (Times of India, 9to5Google).
AI Enhance Tool Automates Complex Edits
AI Enhance is the third core AI tool, providing automated improvements like object removal, lighting correction, and sharpening. It offers three smart variations for each photo and even allows object-specific edits—just tap an area to see targeted suggestions.
Users with large libraries can also use batch enhancement to adjust dozens of photos simultaneously, applying consistent improvements to lighting, sharpness, and tone (Times of India).
New UI and Smart Sharing Features
The revamped editor features a simplified interface—old drop-down menus are replaced with intuitive thumbnail buttons. Common tools like rotate and flip are now easily accessible. For sharing, QR code links allow collaborative album contributions. Event guests can scan a code and upload photos directly, streamlining group sharing (TechCrunch).
AI Tools Roll Out Globally
The redesigned Google Photos editor is launching globally on Android, with iOS support expected later this year. With over 1.5 billion users and 9 trillion photos/videos stored, Google’s AI-powered updates are poised to revolutionize casual and professional editing alike (BGR, Ars Technica).
“The redesign adds new AI features, Reimagine and Auto Frame, which were previously only available on Pixel devices, bringing the tools into the hands of more users.”
