Google has started rolling out new AI-powered editing features in Google Photos for users in India. With this update, Android users can edit photos by telling the app what they want to change using text or voice, instead of manually navigating editing tools and sliders. Google says these features are powered by Gemini and are available on Android devices with at least 4GB of RAM running Android 8.0 or later. These editing tools were launched for users in select global markets last year.

Google introduces AI-based photo editing to Google Photos in India.
According to a blog post published by the Mountain View-based tech giant, users in India can now ask Google Photos to perform common edits such as blurring the background, removing reflections from windows, fixing glare, sharpening images, adjusting colors, or improving lighting using text or voice commands. Multiple changes can also be combined in a single request, allowing users to straighten a photo, fix shadows, and enhance colors simultaneously.

Google is also offering personalized edits for people in Google Photos, allowing users to request changes such as removing a friend's sunglasses, opening someone's eyes, or making a person smile. This feature reportedly uses images from the user's private face group to apply more precise edits, especially in group photos where small details are often missed.

The blog post also mentions that Nano allows users to ask Google Photos to recreate scenes or apply creative styles, such as adding furniture to a room, enhancing the composition of an image, restoring old photos, or placing people or pets in entirely new settings.

According to the search giant, the AI-powered features are designed to make more complex visual edits easier without requiring advanced editing skills. The new editing features support English as well as several Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, and Gujarati. Google also says it is adding C2PA content credentials to Google Photos to label AI-edited images and display their edit history, providing greater transparency about modified content.
