Google has launched a powerful new feature in Google Photos called the Google conversational photo editor, now available on Pixel 10 and other supported Android devices. This Google AI photo editor allows people to simply type or speak what changes they want in a picture, and the tool automatically applies them. Instead of struggling with tabs and sliders, users can ask for edits like “fix the lighting,” “remove reflections,” or even “erase a plastic bag from the background.”

The AI photo editing tool Google created goes beyond simple fixes. People can restore old baby pictures, add blur effects, or even request fun edits like adding King Kong climbing a building. This shows the potential of conversational AI photo editing to make advanced edits accessible to everyone, not just professionals who use Photoshop or Lightroom. While traditional editing apps require technical skill and time, this tool delivers results in seconds through natural language commands.

Google has built safeguards to address concerns about misinformation. Every photo edited with the Google photo AI feature will carry watermarks and metadata such as C2PA content credentials and SynthID, making clear that AI was used. This transparency aims to reduce risks of manipulated images spreading online.

Experts believe this Google Photos AI update could become one of the most widely used consumer AI tools because of its simplicity. Unlike many AI features that feel like novelties, the conversational editor appears directly when users tap “edit” in Google Photos, making it easy to find and use. Although the tool cannot yet perform selective edits like adjusting only one part of a portrait, it still saves time and effort for most casual users.

Google’s conversational photo editor signals a new step in how we interact with computers, turning them into partners that respond to plain English requests rather than complicated commands.
