Unlocking the Power of AI: Google's Pixel Exclusive Imaging Editing Features Now Accessible to All Google Photos Users

Starting May 15th, Google will roll out AI-powered features to its Photos app for all eligible devices. These features including Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Portrait Light were previously exclusive to Pixel phones but will now be accessible to almost all devices without a subscription.

Furthermore, Google is also bringing its AI-powered Magic Editor to all eligible devices, which allows users to reposition subjects, change the colour of the sky, and fill the gaps in their images using generative AI. However, free users will be limited to 10 edits per month, and additional edits will require a subscription to Google One with 2TB of storage or more. Pixel users will continue to have unlimited access to image edits.

To get these AI tools, Android devices must have a 64-bit processor, and 3GB RAM, and run on Android 8.0 (Oreo) or above (iOS 15 or later for iPhones). The tools will gradually roll out to eligible devices over the following weeks, including Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, Sky suggestions, Color Pop, HDR effects, Portrait Blur, Portrait Light, Cinematic Photos, Collage Editor Styles, and more.
