Google expands AI creative tools with Photos, Pics, and Vids

Overview

Google continues to expand its AI-driven creative suite through updates to Google Photos, Google Pics, and its video creation tools.

Google Photos has introduced several new features, including ‘Moods’ for film-style editing, an upgraded markup tool with a redaction pen, and 15 ‘Remix’ templates. The ‘Wardrobe’ feature, which catalogues clothing for virtual styling, is available in the United States, India, and Brazil. Additionally, ‘Photos in Gemini Spark’ allows eligible Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the United States to edit portraits via text prompts. A new mosaic tool has also been added, allowing users to mask or blur specific image areas using fine mosaic, large mosaic, or frosted glass effects to protect sensitive information. Recent updates also include a markup tool titled ‘Unkenntlich machen’ (Obscure) to protect details like addresses or license plates via blurring and pixelation. Code analysis suggests upcoming advanced filtering for albums to navigate collections by specific people, pets, or unknown faces.

Google Pics, a web application integrated into Google Workspace and Google Drive, is now available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Powered by the Nano Banana model, the tool functions as a graphic design platform and image editor, offering object segmentation, text editing within images, and upscaling to 2K or 4K resolutions. Expanding into video, Google Vids is available to Google or Google Workspace account holders, utilizing Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash for 1080p generation with SynthID digital watermarks. Additionally, Google Ads has integrated Veo-generated video creation into its Asset Studio, allowing advertisers to transform static images into 10-second videos.
