Google Photos isn’t just an app to view your photos and videos. It’s expanded into something more over the years, and has become a place where you can easily edit your content, but also create new media as well. While the latter feature started with just some basics, it’s now blossomed into something more full-fledged, utilizing powerful AI tools that can even breathe new life into your images.

Google Photos isn’t just an app to view your photos and videos. It’s expanded into something more over the years, and has become a place where you can easily edit your content, but also create new media as well. While the latter feature started with just some basics, it’s now blossomed into something more full-fledged, utilizing powerful AI tools that can even breathe new life into your images.
Of course, if you’re not someone with a creative eye, it can be tough to get started. Luckily, Google is now introducing new editing templates in Photos, making it even easier to get great results (via 9to5Google). The new feature will take your hand and guide you through the process of creating videos that you’ll want to share with friends and family.
More ways to bring your pictures to life
Or, in Google’s words, “create a polished, share-worthy video with creative narratives beat-matched to trendy music.” And while this might sound a bit overboard, the good news is, you’ll be able to crank it up or dial it back to suit your needs. Once you dive into the templates, you’ll have the ability to choose your media or have the app take care of the hard work for you.
Then you can feel free to add music and text, creating something that’s perfect for the moment. Sometimes a picture just isn’t enough when you want to convey what you’re experiencing. These templates are the perfect way to share your photos in a whole new way. If you’re curious, we recommend heading to Photos and giving it a try.
Towards the bottom of the app, you should see an option to “Create.” Inside this section, you’ll find all the tools you need to make collages, highlight videos, cinematic videos, and even animations. The best part about this is that when you use one of these creation tools for the first time, you’ll get an in-depth walkthrough on how to use it.
Not to say that it’s complicated, but it will provide suggestions on how to get the best results. For the most part, you just tell the app what you want, and it will automatically take care of the rest. For example, you can search for “city” images, and it will compile some of the best images from your library in order to create a video highlighting cities you’ve taken images of.
Of course, this is just a small sample of what Google Photos can do now. So, if you’ve been putting this off, we recommend diving into the app to see what it can really do. We think you’ll be able to find something that interests you, especially when you can make videos from still images with Google’s powerful Veo 3 model.
