A fresh look at Google Photos' updated editor

Google Photos is rolling out a big update to its editor, making photo editing easier and smarter for Android users. The new design brings a clean, user-friendly interface with tools neatly organized for quick access. Instead of digging through menus, you can now tap, brush, or circle parts of a photo—like the sky or a person—and get instant editing suggestions tailored to that area.

These suggestions include options to adjust colors, fix lighting, or even remove unwanted objects, making edits feel simple and natural. The update also introduces a search feature to find editing tools faster. For example, you can search for “blur” or “crop” and jump straight to the tool you need. Popular features like Reimagine and Auto Frame, once exclusive to Pixel devices, are now available to more users. These let you change backgrounds or adjust framing with ease.

The editor also combines basic tweaks, like brightness and contrast, with advanced AI-powered options for quick, professional-looking results. This revamped editor is starting to roll out on Android, with iOS support coming later. It’s designed to save time and make editing fun, whether you’re fixing a quick selfie or creating a stunning landscape shot. Google Photos continues to evolve, helping everyone make their memories look their best without needing expert skills.
