Portrait Light

Portrait mode has been a game-changer for mobile photographers, simulating that coveted shallow depth-of-field look. But Google is taking things further with Portrait Light, which intelligently illuminates your subjects with flattering, studio-quality lighting. You can even fine-tune the direction and intensity to your exact preferences.

Last but not least, Magic Editor brings advanced editing capabilities with a deceptively simple interface. Thanks to powerful generative AI models under the hood, you can reposition subjects, alter skies, and make all sorts of complex tweaks with just a few taps.

Availability

While many of these AI editing tricks were previously Pixel-exclusive perks, Google is now opening them up to all Google Photos users on Android and iOS. The rollout begins May 15 and will continue over the following weeks as the features reach compatible devices.

There is one catch – while the basic editing tools will be free for all, Magic Editor will come with some limits for non-Pixel owners. Specifically, free users will only get 10 Magic Editor “saves” per month. To go beyond that, you’ll need either a Pixel device or a Premium Google One plan at 2TB or higher.
