Google’s AI push is making its way to the Photos app where you can now try out some cool features from the company for free. The new update is available for everyone through the Photos app which comes pre-installed on millions of Android smartphones as well as iPhones. 

The company has offered a slew of Gemini-powered features for users in the last few months, while also bringing video AI tools like Veo 3 that was announced at the I/O 2025 back in May. 

Google Photos AI Update: Make Video Clips In Seconds 

Google is bringing a new update to the Photos app that will make it very easy to convert your photos into small video clips thanks to AI. Google says, “just select a picture from your gallery and choose from one of the two prompts." These are ‘subtle movements’ and ‘I’m feeling lucky’ that come on the screen when you choose the photo to convert into a video. Google is currently making it available for Photos users in the US on Android and iOS. 

Make 3D ‘Remix’ Of Photos 

In addition to 6-second video clips from photos, Google is now supporting the ability to make your favourite photos into anime, sketches, or even 3D animations. 

“Pick a photo from your gallery and choose your favorite style to easily transform pictures right in your gallery into these kinds of images in seconds to share with your friends and family," Google says in its post. This feature is also limited to Photos in the US and coming to Android and iOS devices in the next few weeks. 

New Create Tab 

In addition to these, you will soon start seeing a new Create tab next to Photos, Collections and Search on the bottom bar. You can use the tool to make photos into a collage, highlight videos and more. The new tab will be coming to Photos in the US next month. 

Like most of the Google AI features, any image or video created using these tools will carry a visual watermark to help people identify it with an AI-altered or generated image.
