Make your photos pop with Magic Editor.
The perfect picture is only a few taps away with Google’s AI-powered editing tool for Pixel.

Getting the details right has always required advanced photo editing skills and mastery of complex editing software. Not anymore. Today, anyone can edit pictures like a pro with Pixel’s Magic Editor.1

To enhance the photos you take on Pixel’s advanced camera, it lets you move, remove, and resize people or objects in an image, as well as change the background. You can even straighten a crooked image or zoom out to extend a photo's edges using Magic Editor’s new features, which are launching alongside Pixel 9 phones.

Whether you need to remove a stranger from the background of a family picture, adjust your photo to highlight a basketball player’s vertical during a spectacular dunk, or add a perfectly-lit backdrop to your summer outfit selfie, Magic Editor can bring your vision to life. 

Here are some common ways to use it to level-up your photography: 

Make every photo look its best: Move, remove, and resize your subjects

Pixel 9 phones come with a sophisticated, AI camera, giving anyone who has it the ability to take pro-level photos. But sometimes the unexpected happens, and that’s where Magic Editor comes in.

Say you nail that perfect selfie with your friend, only to discover there’s something not quite right about it. Like an unfortunately-placed stranger in the background.

Magic Editor lets you select and erase them. Simple, right?

Maybe you spot your dream car and you want to take a photo next to it – except you didn’t get close enough to the car. With Magic Editor, you can select, move and resize it to bring it into the foreground.

Or, if your photo is off-centre, you can use Magic Editor to reframe the shot.

Change the sky and reimagine your pictures.

Your nephew James has quite the imagination. But even though your Pixel’s AI camera can’t transport him to the places he goes in his head, it can make it look like it in your photos. You can tap the new Reimagine3 feature (only available on Pixel 9 phones) to restyle a picture’s entire backdrop. Get rid of the BBQ? No problem. Change the hedge to rocks? Done. Add a volcano? Why not. A quick snap can become a prehistoric scene fit for Tyrannosaurus James.

Adjust and reframe your photographs.

Let’s say you’re taking pictures with friends or family at a picnic, but your pictures don’t capture enough of the background. Auto Frame can help you zoom out and extend the photo edges with realistic details, giving your pictures a polished, professional look. It can even align and rotate a crooked or poorly composed image to keep the subject front and centre.

Perfect your photographs, audio, and videos with other AI photo editing tools on Pixel.

Magic Editor makes your photos stand out. But some situations may call for other Pixel tools as well. 

Whether you’re having trouble taking pictures of your friends smiling at the same time, or recording a birthday message over the din of the street outside your window, these photo editing features on Pixel 9’s AI camera can give your photos, videos, and audio a boost:

  • Best Take: Blend similar photos into one frame-worthy image in which everyone looks their best.4

  • Add Me: Get everyone who was actually there into your photos – including the designated photographer. It’s only available on Pixel 9 phones.4

  • Audio Magic Eraser: Block out unwanted noise in your audio or video recording, whether it’s cars honking or strangers chatting.5

  • Zoom Enhance (Pixel 9 Pro phones only): Get up and close and personal with the subject of your photo – even after you’ve taken it – without sacrificing quality.6

Whether you’re a hobbyist or the next social media star, these content creator tools on Pixel will make your photos and videos shine.
