Google has announced that many of its artificial intelligence (AI) -powered image-editing tools, including Magic Eraser, will be made available to all Google Photos app users starting May 15. AI-image-editing tools like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur and Portrait Light, which had debuted in the Pixel 8 series smartphone last year, are currently available only to Pixel users and Google One subscribers.
Google said in a press note that these AI image-editing tools would be available on all Android and iOS devices through the Google Photos app, without the need for any subscription. However, this feature will allow users to save only up to 10 edited images per month. To extend this limit, users could subscribe to a Premium Google One plan. The features would, however, have no such limitations on Pixel devices, including Pixel tablets.
