Google Photos gets important AI steaks. On Wednesday, Google announced A handful of new features that will allow users to become more creative with their photo memories, including a choice to convert photos into videos and photos “remix” into different styles, such as anime, comics, sketches or 3D animations.
The application will also gather access to its creative tools-including both AI technologies and traditional tools-in a new “Creation” tab in photo application. The two newly established features will be housed on this tab, along with other tools that allow you to create collage; Highlight the videosand others things.
Update brings AI capacity to one of the most popular services facing Google’s consumers: Google Photos today has Over 1.5 billion users. This will put AI in the hands of more people, including those who have not spent so much time experimenting with what AI can do. It also gives Google a big base to learn from people to try out new features.
The company noted that these features are experimental, so it would ask users to leave a thumb or a thumb in the pictures and videos produced by AI to provide comments. This feedback will help Google improve the product and overall experience, he says.
With the new Photo-to-Video feature, similar to offering already available in twins (and, From today, YouTube), users will be able to make short videos of their own photos using Google’s VEO 2 model. In previous years, the film of old family photos was a smart trick, leading to applications such as myheritage, as people brought long -term relatives to life. Now this ability is trading with the use of AI.
Once you have selected a photo, you can choose from one of the two prompts-“fine movements”, or “I feel lucky”-to convert the photo into a six-second video clip.
The photo in the video is released today to users in the US on Android and iOS.
Meanwhile, the new remix feature, powered by Google’s Imagen AI model, allows you to choose any photo from your gallery and then turn it into a different style in a matter of seconds.
This feature will be available in the US in Android and iOS in the coming weeks.
Both features will include an invisible Synthetic Digital watermark in their outflows to recognize them as they are created by AI. Google Photos already does it with other AI tools, such as Images edited using Reimaginefor example. Created videos will also include an optical watermark, similar to those produced by the Gemini.
The Creation tab will arrive in the US in August. Google says it will update the tab over time, adding new tools and experiments and refining existing options.
The AI features were introduced in parallel with similar YouTube shorts, which now offer its own selection of photos-Video as well as new AI results, powered by VEO 2.
