Google has rolled out new AI-powered photo editing features for Indian users on the Google Photos app. Powered by Gemini AI, the new tools allow users to edit photos using voice or text commands, making photo editing simpler and more intuitive than ever before.
Google has launched special new features in the Google Photos app for Indian users. With these updates, users can now edit photos by speaking or typing commands, eliminating the need for sliders and complex editing tools.
Google has started rolling out these AI-powered photo editing features, designed to make photo editing more accessible, especially for users without professional editing experience. The tools are built on Gemini AI and have been tailored specifically for Indian users.
According to Google, the new features are based on Gemini AI and are currently available for Android users in India. To use these features, users must have:
At least 4GB RAM
Android 8.0 or newer
These tools were tested in select countries last year and are now officially available in India.
With the new update, users can simply tell Google Photos what they want to change. Commands like “blur the background,” “remove window reflections,” or “improve lighting” can be executed instantly.
Multiple edits can also be performed with a single command, such as straightening the image, adjusting shadows, and enhancing colors. The goal is to make photo editing easy even for users unfamiliar with advanced editing tools.
The new AI features are not limited to background editing. Users can also request changes related to people in the photo, such as:
Removing glasses
Opening closed eyes
Adding a smile
Google says these edits deliver more accurate results using private face groups, especially in group photos where small details are often missed.
Google Photos has also introduced a feature called Nano Banana, which enables users to creatively transform their images. With this tool, users can:
Add furniture to a room
Extend photo frames
Restore old photographs
Place people or pets into entirely new scenes
This feature is aimed at users who want to go beyond basic edits and give their photos a completely new look.
Google confirmed that the new AI editing features support multiple Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, and Gujarati, among others.
Additionally, Google Photos is introducing C2PA content credentials, allowing users to see what AI-generated changes have been made to an image. This move is intended to increase transparency and build trust around edited photos.
