Google Photos is getting a major upgrade! Following earlier reports hinting at potentially offering the Magic Editor for free to all users, Google now has announced it’s making several AI-powered editing tools, previously exclusive to Pixel phones and Google One subscribers, free for all users starting May 15th.

Free AI Editing Tools for Everyone: Google Photos Gets a Big Upgrade

Magic Eraser, a favorite for removing unwanted objects from photos, is now free for all Google Photos users. The tool can remove anything that disrupts your perfect shot, including people in the background, power lines, or anything else.

But that’s not all. Google is also making Photo Unblur free, which sharpens blurry photos using machine learning. Plus, you’ll get features like HDR effect for photos and videos, Portrait Light for adjusting light in portraits, and Color Pop to make specific colors stand out.

Alongside these tools, Google is also making the popular Magic Editor free. This tool uses advanced AI to allow you to make complex edits. You can reposition subjects, change the sky, fill in gaps, and more. Previously only on Pixel 8 phones, Magic Editor will now be available on all Pixel devices.

For everyone else (Android and iOS users with compatible devices), Google offers 10 free Magic Editor edits per month. You’ll need a Google One Premium plan (with at least 2TB of storage) if you need more.

These new features will be available on various devices, including Android phones running 8.0 or later, iPhones with iOS 15 or later (with at least 3GB of RAM), and even Pixel tablets. The rollout starts May 15th, so you might not see them immediately, but they’ll be arriving over the next few weeks.

Google’s decision to make these powerful AI tools free reflects the growing popularity of photo editing. With this move, Google Photos becomes an even more attractive option for anyone who wants to enhance their photos without the hassle of complex software.
