On Tuesday, Google announced that Android users can now utilize AI for photo editing. Within Google Photos, users can engage in natural language conversations with AI through voice or text, describing how they wish to modify their images.

This feature is designed to simplify photo editing by eliminating the need for users to understand specific tools or locate them within the app.

Powered by Gemini, this functionality initially launched in the U.S. for users of the newly released Pixel 10 devices in August.

To get started, users can click on "Help me edit" within the editor and then describe the desired changes to the photo. If unsure where to begin improvements, users can choose from suggested edits powered by Gemini or simply tell the AI to "make it better."

The tool supports common editing actions such as adjusting lighting or removing unwanted objects from the image, as well as more advanced edits like eliminating background elements or restoring old photos. Additionally, it enables users to add creative, AI-generated fantasy elements to their images.

As you continue editing, Gemini will support follow-up requests, allowing for further refinement of your edits.

AI editing is currently available to U.S. users aged 18 and older and is offered in English only.

This AI feature was launched alongside C2PA content credentials, a system designed to identify when images are created using AI. While initially introduced on Pixel devices, Google has confirmed it will also be made available to Android users.
