Google Photos opens many free AI editing features to users

With the advantage of being a technology company in the leading group in the AI ​​race, Google has long provided many editing solutions to its service users.

On Google Photos, the company offers many useful utilities that integrate AI such as removing unwanted objects in photos, adjusting portrait lighting, sharpening details. These tools are intended for device users. For Pixel devices, customers who own other devices with a Google One subscription can also use it, regardless of the value of the purchased package.

The "software giants" have just made a surprising move when announcing that all Android and iOS users can experience the AI ​​image editing tool provided by the company completely free starting from January 15. 5.

Google's AI photo editing tool will be provided for free to users.

The only requirement related to the machine's configuration. Specifically, Android phones need to run version 8.0 or later , while iOS requires a minimum of version 15.0 or later. Every device should have a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. Otherwise, all Google Photos users can use AI to edit photos for free without needing a Google One subscription.

Additionally, free users on Android and iOS have limited access to Magic Editor - a generative AI tool capable of handling complex image editing tasks. Maximum 10 edits and saves per month for free users. To use more, users must own a Pixel phone or have a premium Google One subscription (paid for 2 TB of storage per month).

With some editing tools, users will have to download them first and select "Install". This operation requires that the device be connected to Wi-Fi to ensure that there are no charges for mobile data usage and that there is at least 1 GB of free memory on the device. However, a few other AI features such as Audio Eraser, Best Take, Video Boost are still exclusive to Pixel 8 series phone users.
