Google Launches AI Image Editing in Photos for Pixel 10 with Voice and Text Commands

Google has introduced a new AI image editing feature for Pixel devices, starting with the Pixel 10 in the U.S., allowing users to edit images in Google Photos by simply asking via text or voice. This conversational editing capability leverages advanced Gemini AI to perform custom edits quickly without requiring users to select tools or adjust settings manually. Users can request specific changes like removing objects, restoring old photos, or making multiple edits in one prompt. The feature supports both corrective edits and creative enhancements, such as changing backgrounds or adding fun elements.

The redesigned photo editor already offers AI-powered suggestions and easy-to-use tools, including tapping or circling parts of an image for targeted edits. The new natural language interface adds another layer of simplicity, enabling users to fine-tune images with follow-up instructions.

To improve transparency, Google is adding support for C2PA Content Credentials in Google Photos, starting with Pixel 10 devices. This feature shows how an image was captured or edited, complementing existing metadata standards like IPTC and SynthID. The rollout will extend gradually to other Android and iOS devices.

Gemini models power many features in Google Photos, from search to editing, and Google plans to continue expanding their capabilities to enhance user experience.
