Google Photos is 10 years old. To honor the anniversary, the company revamped
the app's editor. Naturally, AI plays a leading role.

The redesigned Photos adds AI-powered editors previously exclusive to the
Pixel 9's Magic Editor. That includes Auto Frame, which suggests crops for
your pics. If that requires new parts, it will use AI to generate them.

Also moving over from the Pixel is Reimagine. That's where you can add
elements like fall leaves or green grass that weren't there. It can be equal
parts neat and unsettling. We described it as "blurring the line between
which of your memories are real and which are not." The results are
convincing enough that Google recently began watermarking them as AI-
generated.

The Google Photos update also adds a new AI Enhance feature. As The Verge
notes, selecting it produces three edits. (It generates them with existing
tweaks like sharpening and object removal.) Then, you pick the result you
like best. The new AI Enhance feature sits in the Edit menu, alongside the
app's existing Enhance and Dynamic buttons.

Google also made it easier to share albums. You can now generate a QR code
linking to your album. Let a friend scan it directly, or print it out in a
group setting.

The redesigned editor arrives on Android devices in June. Google says the iOS
version will follow "later this year."
