Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google unveiled its Edit with Ask Photos feature at Made by Google. The new feature lets you make edits to your image using natural language. Android and iOS users will have the feature rolled out to them over time. Get more in-depth ZDNET tech coverage: Add us as a preferred Google source on Chrome and Chromium browsers. There was a time when removing objects or distractions from an image required learning how to use advanced tools like Adobe Photoshop and finagling with a lasso tool for much too long. Generative AI has changed that, making complex edits possible with simple taps. Google's new AI-powered feature takes that to the next level. The company held its Made by Google hardware event on Wednesday, and, unsurprisingly, AI releases were a big part of the new Pixel Series 10 launch. The AI features were sprinkled across the phone's different apps, but a bulk of the most exciting AI features focused on helping users get better-quality photos. Also: Everything announced at Made by Google 2025: Pixel 10 Pro, Fold, Watch 4, and more The new features included a new Camera Coach, improved the Add Me feature and Auto Best Take features, and, perhaps the most useful, the new Edit with Ask Photos feature, which makes editing a photo as easy as typing in a prompt. Annoying reflection in a photo? How about a photo bomber in the background? You can't get the composition right? Now all you have to do is ask your Photos app to edit it for you. How 'Edit with Ask Photos' works Google Photos now has a conversational photo editor, which lets you enter a request for an edit you'd like done to your photo and then have AI do it for you. You don't need to know which slider or tool to use, either. All you have to do is describe the end result you'd like to see. It's really that easy. Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET The edits can be as simple or as complex as you'd like. For example, if you just want help with a simple task, such as making the photo brighter or straighter, you can ask just that; but it can also perform much more complicated tasks, such as having an old photo entirely restored, you can also ask. If you don't know what you want to ask but know you are not happy with what you are looking at, you can also use broad prompts such as "Make it better," according to Google. You can also follow up with as many conversational queries as you need to get the result you are visualizing. Also: Wish you could take better pics? Camera Coach on the Pixel 10 can help - here's how In my demo, using a conversational request that read, "Remove the reflection," the demoer was able to, in seconds, remove a glare in the photo that prevented the subject in the photo from being clearly seen. This is a particularly impressive task because performing this task using legacy tools would have required a higher level of proficiency in photo editing tools and more allocated time to get it done. Beyond practical edits, you can also use it for fun edits, such as adding new elements to a photo. In one of my demos, we added glasses to a llama, as seen in the image above. While not super practical for everyday use, it could be fun for silly social media posts or texts with friends. Also: I went hands-on with every Google Pixel 10 model - and was surprised by the one I loved most Regardless of what you use the feature for, all images edited using the AI feature will have that delineated in the C2PA Content Credentials, which function as a nutrition label showcasing how an image was made. In this case, the image's Content Credentials would say "Edited with AI tools." The industry objective with these types of measures is to promote transparency and help users discern when an image is real or fabricated. Availability The feature will first be available in the Pixel 10 series, which is available for preorder right now. In the coming weeks, it will gradually roll out to all other Google Photos users on Android and iOS devices.
