Google Photos AI features expand with six new tools

Google Photos is rolling out six new Google Photos AI features, bringing smarter editing, more creative tools and a wider global reach for Ask Photos. The update mixes practical improvements with playful AI additions, making the app feel more like a full editing suite than a simple gallery.

Personalized editing leads the new Google Photos AI features

The biggest upgrade comes from Help me edit, the app’s voice- and text-controlled assistant. It can now remove sunglasses, fix closed eyes and clean up group photos. The tool uses other images from your face groups to make the edits look natural.

Meanwhile, iOS users in the US are finally getting access to Help me edit, which makes the experience more consistent across platforms.

Nano Banana brings creative AI restyling

Google is also adding its Nano Banana image model to Google Photos. With it, you can request open-ended restyles — for example, turning a picture into a Renaissance painting or a mosaic.

Additionally, a new Create with AI section will offer templates based on common editing requests. These templates arrive next week for Android users in the US and India. Later, Google plans to personalize them using data from your photo library, such as hobbies or travel patterns.

Ask Photos expands to new regions and languages

Ask Photos, the AI-powered search tool, is also growing. After a short pause earlier this year, Google is launching it in 100+ new markets. The feature now supports 17 additional languages, which makes natural-language search more accessible worldwide.

A new Ask button adds context to individual photos

Google Photos is adding a new Ask button for quick details about any image. You can tap it to ask questions, find similar photos or describe edits you want.

The feature launches first in the US on both Android and iOS.

What’s next for Google Photos AI features?

Google clearly sees AI as the future of Google Photos. The app is becoming more creative, more personal and more conversational. Therefore, these six upgrades likely represent only the next step in a much larger AI roadmap.
