Google Photos expands AI editing tools to all users without a subscription

Today Google has announced that the AI-powered tools inside Google Photos will be available to anyone using the app, without any subscription required. We are talking about Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Portrait light.

This will happen from May 15, which, coincidentally or not, is the day after Google's annual developer conference. As always, expect the rollout to take a few weeks after that date, since that's the way Google likes to do things. The three aforementioned features will also be available on "more devices, including Pixel tablets", Google revealed.

Last year, Google launched Magic Editor on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It uses generative AI to make complex edits with simple actions, like repositioning the subject or turning the sky a different color. Now, this is expanding to all Pixel devices with unlimited usage.

Additionally, all Google Photos users on both Android and iOS will get 10 Magic Editor saves per month. Going beyond this limit requires either a Pixel device or a Premium Google One plan that includes 2TB of storage or more.
