Google is taking its AI-powered photo editing feature global by bringing it to new countries, including India, Australia, and Japan. This feature, which first debuted for U.S. Pixel users in August 2025, allows users to edit photos by simply typing text commands instead of manually adjusting sliders or learning complex editing tools.
Transform Your Photos with Simple Text Commands
With the new “Help me Edit” option in Google Photos, users can now provide text prompts for editing photos, making it easier than ever to make changes. Whether it’s asking to “remove the motorcycle in the background” or “restore this old photo,” Google’s AI understands the request and applies the necessary adjustments. This feature works seamlessly on all Android devices running Android 8.0 or higher.
For users in India, Australia, and Japan, this feature expands beyond just simple fixes—AI can even edit specific aspects of a photo, like adjusting a friend’s pose, removing glasses, or opening closed eyes. All these edits are done within the app itself, without needing an internet connection.
AI Continually Learns to Improve Editing Accuracy
Since the feature’s initial rollout, Google’s AI has learned from a wide variety of photo edits, improving its ability to handle even the most specific requests. As part of its ongoing push to integrate AI throughout its platform, Google has made this new tool available in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, and Gujarati to better serve its users in these regions.
Remote Lock Feature Gets an Upgrade
In addition to the new photo editing capabilities, Google has also expanded its C2PA Content Credentials support in these countries. This tool allows users to see when an image was edited or generated with AI, providing transparency about its origin and edits, which is important as AI-generated content becomes more common.
Google’s Push to Enhance AI in Everyday Apps
This expansion of AI-powered photo editing reflects Google’s broader strategy to integrate artificial intelligence into its apps and services. The tech giant continues to push for easier, more intuitive ways to enhance digital experiences, empowering users to make changes to their photos with ease.
