Google Photos, renowned for its sophisticated AI-powered photo and video editing tools such as Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Portrait Light, has expanded its accessibility beyond Pixel devices and Google One subscribers. As of May 15, 2024, these tools are now available on non-Pixel devices, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
Users have reported on Reddit that they can now access these advanced editing features on their non-Pixel devices even without a Google One subscription. This means that if you own a Galaxy device, you can utilize these AI tools in Google Photos without any additional cost.
Moreover, the coveted Magic Editor, initially exclusive to the Pixel 8 series, has also been rolled out to other Pixel and non-Pixel devices. However, free Google account users can save only ten photos with this feature unless they subscribe to Google One for additional saves.
In addition to Magic Editor, other AI-powered enhancements such as Sky Suggestions, Color Pop, HDR effects for both photos and videos, Portrait Blur, Cinematic Photos, and new collage styles are now accessible. These tools provide powerful options for photo and video editing, significantly enhancing the user experience.
For Galaxy device users, Samsung’s One UI 6.1 also offers a robust suite of AI-powered editing tools within the Samsung Gallery app, providing an excellent alternative for photo and video enhancements directly on their devices.
