Google Photos offers prompt-based editing in India, Australia, and Japan.

Google is bringing AI-powered photo editing to more users around the world, making it easier to modify photos with simple text commands instead of complex editing tools.

The company announced Tuesday that it is expanding Google Photos’ natural language-based editing capabilities to additional countries, including Australia, India, and Japan. The feature, which Google first launched for Pixel 10 users in the US last August, allows people to describe the changes they want to make to their photos instead of manually adjusting sliders or learning complex editing software.

Users in newly supported countries will now see an “Edit Help” box when tapping the Edit option in a photo. Here you can choose from the suggested prompts or enter your own request in plain language. For example, you can ask the app to “remove the motorcycle from the background,” “reduce background blur,” or use a more general command like “restore this old photo.”

AI can also handle incredibly specific requests. You can also edit your friend’s pose, take off their glasses, or ask them to open their eyes in a blinking photo. This feature converts your photos using Google’s Nano Banana image model, with all processing happening directly within the app without requiring an internet connection for actual editing.

This feature works on all Android devices running Android 8.0 or higher and with at least 4GB of RAM. That means it’s not limited to Google’s own Pixel phones. Along with this geographic expansion, Google is also adding support for languages ​​other than English, including Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, and Gujarati, making the tool accessible to millions more users in their native language.

Google is also rolling out C2PA content credentials support in Google Photos for these countries. This metadata indicates when the image was created or edited using AI. As AI-generated and AI-edited images become increasingly common, social media platforms are grappling with how to label AI content, and credentials like C2PA can help users understand what they’re looking at.

This expansion is the latest in Google’s aggressive efforts to integrate AI across Google Photos. Last November, the company expanded its AI-powered search functionality to more than 100 countries with support for more than 17 languages. We’ve also introduced AI templates that can transform your photos into different artistic styles. Last week, Google launched its “Meme me” feature, which allows users to create memes by combining reference templates with their own images.
