Google Photos will allow users to ask the app to edit pictures via voice or text on Pixel 10 devices in the U.S., using Gemini for natural-language instructions. The feature handles lighting adjustments, distraction removal, creative edits like background changes or adding items, and offers suggestions and follow-up requests. Users can request broad fixes like "make it better" and receive automatic enhancements. Google Photos will adopt C2PA Content Credentials starting on Pixel 10 to improve transparency about image origins and AI involvement. C2PA support will roll out to Google Photos across iOS and Android in the following weeks.
The new "edit by asking" feature in Google Photos leverages Gemini so you can ask for changes to a photo using natural language. For instance, you can say things like "remove the cars in the background," or something less specific, like "restore this old photo," and Google Photos will take action. The addition could help those who aren't as tech-savvy or have a good understanding of editing tools to still make adjustments to improve their photos.
Google is also adding support for C2PA Content Credentials in Google Photos. The Pixel 10 phones will be the first from Google to adopt this standard, which is designed to improve transparency around how images are made and whether AI is involved. On Pixel devices, C2PA is supported with the Camera app itself and in any photos taken with it, even if AI is not used.
The feature can handle tasks like lighting adjustments and removing distractions from the images, as well as more creative edits, like changing the background or adding items to the photo. Google suggests you could use this to add sunglasses and a party hat to the photo's subject, among other things, for example. Even if you don't know what to ask for, you can start with a request for help like "make it better," and Google Photos will automatically make changes to the image.
