The Magic Editor, the most notable feature, uses generative AI for complex photo edits such as filling in gaps in a photo, repositioning the subject, and other edits to the foreground or background of a photo. With the expansion, all Pixel devices will receive Magic Editor, while iOS and Android users will get 10 Magic Editor saves per month. To exceed this limit, users will need to purchase a Premium Google One plan. Other tools will be available to all Google Photos users, with no Google One subscription required.
