Editing photos in Google Photos is about to get much easier. With the Pixel 10, Google is rolling out conversational AI edits that let you transform pictures simply by asking. You can type or say what you want to change, and the app will make it happen.
The redesigned editor already made things easier with one-tap suggestions and AI-powered effects. But now, you can go further with Gemini’s conversational abilities. Instead of hunting for tools or dragging sliders, you just describe the edit.
For example, you could ask it to “remove the cars in the background” or “restore this old photo.” You can even combine instructions in one go, like “remove the reflections and fix the washed out colors.” If you’re not sure what to request, a simple “make it better” will prompt Photos to enhance the image automatically.
Follow-up instructions are also supported, so you can fine-tune an edit after it’s applied. And this isn’t limited to fixes. You can get creative too — swap backgrounds, add a party hat or sunglasses, or try other fun tweaks without worrying about how the tools work.
Alongside these AI edits, Google Photos is also adding C2PA Content Credentials for more transparency. These credentials show how an image was created or changed. Pixel 10 phones will be the first to support them, but the feature will roll out to Android and iOS in the coming weeks. That means you’ll be able to see whether a picture was taken as-is, lightly adjusted, or heavily edited with AI.
For now, Google Photos AI edits are exclusive to the Pixel 10. But Google says it plans to expand support, so expect the feature to appear on more devices down the line.
