Google Photos has announced a major upgrade for all users, bringing its AI-powered editing tools to even more people for free. After months of anticipation, the tools are now available to all Google Photos users on eligible mobile devices.
The company took its time with the rollout to ensure compatibility across a wide range of Android devices, each with varying hardware and software configurations. This delay was necessary to ensure that the powerful AI editing tools would work seamlessly for tens of millions of users.
Users have been receiving the new tools gradually over the past few months, with options like Magic Eraser, Magic Editor, Photo Unblur, and Portrait Light now available to everyone. Google has also provided clarification on the differences between Magic Eraser and Magic Editor, helping users make the most of these innovative features.
This move to make the AI editing tools free for all users is a commendable one by Google. While they could have kept the tools exclusive to Pixel devices, the company is committed to making the benefits of generative AI accessible to as many people as possible.
To enjoy these new features, users will need a device with at least 3GB of RAM and running Android 8.0+ or iOS 15+. With these requirements in place, millions of Google Photos users can now take advantage of the AI-powered editing tools to enhance their images with ease.
