Even if your photo was taken with another camera, you can enjoy the benefits of Magic Eraser to edit photos on your phone. Professional editor? No need.

Powered by Google AI, Magic Eraser lets you edit photos on your phone by providing helpful suggestions to remove objects.

• Removes photobombers.

When your dog does something cute, you have to act fast. But you might not want a busy beach in the background. Magic Eraser uses AI to automatically identify and remove unwanted photobombers all at once, so the subject of your photo stands out.

Let’s say you’re hiking up in the clouds. You snap a picture – only to notice that fellow hikers are in the shot. Magic Eraser detects people in the background of your photos. Then, you can remove them all automatically or one at a time.

Power lines might be essential pieces of infrastructure, but they don’t need to appear in your photos. Magic Eraser on Pixel automatically spots them and suggests that you remove them. That way you can focus on what matters in the shot.

Between first smiles, first crawls, first steps, and first words, that first year can feel like a blur. Photo Unblur, powered by Google Tensor, sharpens your photographs – even if your memories are a bit hazy.

Lights, camera, action. You’re ready to create flawless photo edits with Magic Eraser, but there are a few tips and tricks to keep at the forefront when using the feature.

• Distinct edges: when removing objects from your images, items that have clear boundaries and distinct edges are much more seamless to take out. It’s much easier for Magic Eraser to identify these objects and then blend the background once they’ve been removed.

• Good lighting: well lit will enhance Magic Eraser’s ability to analyse the photo, therefore making it easier to remove or camouflage unwanted elements.

• AI suggestions: Magic Eraser is powered by AI and will suggest distractions to be removed. For a speedy and seamless approach to photo editing on your phone, make the most of the tool’s recommendations.

• Use Camouflage mode: instead of removing an object entirely, it can be worth using the camouflage feature instead for a seamless final edit.

• Save a copy: make sure to save a copy of the edited photo, so that you still have the original version.

Photo unblur does what it says on the tin. Using AI, this feature is designed to improve the clarity of blurry photos. Say goodbye to fuzzy faces and hello to clear smiles with ease. Let the Google AI photo editor do the hard work, so you can focus on capturing the moment as it unfolds.

There are a few steps Photo Unblur takes to improve the overall clarity of your shot. Let’s break them down:

• Analysis: first the feature analyses the photo to identify areas that are blurred

• Noise reduction: imagine static over your image - well, that’s similar to having noisy pixels in an image. Photo Unblur will combine noisy pixels to smooth the look and reduce imperfections.

• Bye-bye blur: finally, it refines the edges in the photo to deblur, increasing sharpness and clarity.

Applying the Photo Unblur feature when editing photos on your phone couldn’t be easier. You can reduce distortion and transform your picture into an accurate representation of your special moments in a few steps.

• Step one: select the image you want to edit in Google Photos.

• Step two: Tap “Edit”, select “Tools” and in here you’ll find the “Unblur” option.

• Step three: Use the slider to adjust the unblur effect to your liking.

• Step four: once you’re happy, tap “Done” and then “Save Copy”, so you have both your edited version and the original on your device.
