Calling all photo enthusiasts! Google Photos is about to get a major upgrade, bringing powerful AI editing tools to everyone for free. Starting May 15th, say goodbye to paywalls and hello to a suite of features that will transform your photos from ordinary to extraordinary.
This isn’t a drill. Google is removing the subscription barrier for some of its most popular editing tools, including the magic-wielding trio: Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Portrait Light.
Magically Remove Photo Imperfections
Ever had a photo ruined by a rogue photobomber or an unsightly background element? Magic Eraser comes to the rescue! This AI-powered tool lets you effortlessly remove unwanted objects from your pictures. Whether it’s a pesky trash can or a distracting passerby, simply select it and watch it vanish.
Sharpen Blurry Memories
Those precious blurry photos can finally be salvaged. Photo Unblur utilizes machine learning to sharpen out-of-focus images, giving new life to forgotten moments. No more squinting to see what you captured – bring those blurry memories back into crystal clarity.
Light Up Your Photos with Portrait Light
Want to enhance the lighting in your portraits? Portrait Light has you covered. This tool lets you adjust the lighting after the photo is taken, making your portraits look professionally lit.
Introducing Magic Editor: Unleash Your Creativity
But wait, there’s more! Google is also bringing Magic Editor to the party. This powerful tool uses cutting-edge generative AI to perform complex edits with a touch. Want to change a dull sky to a vibrant blue? Magic Editor can do that. Perhaps you’d like to reposition the subject of your photo or remove distracting elements in the foreground? Magic Editor makes it easy.
Free vs. Pro: Striking a Balance
While the core functionality of Magic Editor is free for everyone, Google offers a tiered system. Free users will receive 10 Magic Editor saves per month, allowing you to experiment and unleash your creativity. Pixel phone users and Google One subscribers with 2TB of storage or more will enjoy unlimited Magic Editor edits, letting them truly go wild.
Available on Most Devices
The best part? You don’t need a fancy new phone to access these editing tools. Google Photos will be rolling out the update to most devices starting May 15th. As long as your device meets the minimum requirements (Android 8.0 or later, iOS 15 or later, or ChromeOS 118+ with 3GB of RAM), you’ll be able to transform your photos with Google’s AI magic.
So, dust off those old photos and get ready to unleash your inner photographer. With Google Photos’ free AI editing tools, the power to create stunning visuals is now at your fingertips.
