Google Photos Launches AI-Powered Editor, Adds QR Sharing

Google Photos marks its 10th anniversary with a redesigned editor that brings advanced AI tools and easier sharing to all users worldwide.

Google Photos marks its 10h anniversary by launching a major photo editor update. The redesigned interface of the app now provides its users with the advanced AI features “Reimagine” and “Auto Frame” which were previously exclusive to Pixel devices.

Through the Reimagine tool users can modify objects or backgrounds in their photos by entering basic text commands. Users can request the app to swap gray skies with clear blue skies and the app will create a new version through its AI capabilities.

The Auto Frame tool presents users with improved photo arrangement options. The tool allows users to adjust image dimensions and employs artificial intelligence to complete empty areas for achieving professional-looking results.

All editing tools now reside within a single interface through this new design. Users can access AI Enhance through which they receive three automatic editing options that combine effects for sharpening and object removal, as noted by TechCrunch. Users can draw on specific parts of their photos to receive AI-driven recommendations for lighting adjustments and background blurring.

The company states these updates focus on delivering fast and accessible editing features to users who prefer to avoid complex menu navigation. The redesigned editor will start its global Android device rollout during the next month, as reported by TechCrunch. The iOS platform will receive this update during the second half of the year.

The service now allows users to create QR codes for shared albums. The code grants access to view or add photos to the album which suits wedding celebrations and group gatherings.

Through its redesign Google Photos offers improved accessibility for beginners while advancing AI creative capabilities.
