Google offers new photo editing features to all Android users, for a price. If you’re carrying anything other than a Pixel-branded phone, you’ll need to be a paid Google One subscriber to use them.
Paid tools include machine-learning-powered effects like Portrait Blur, Portrait Light and Color Pop, initially released last year with Pixel 5. All three work for new photos and old images, even those without depth information. (Your device must be running Android 8.0 or higher and have 3GB of available RAM.)
Google One membership is like having VIP access. Existing versions of these features are still available through the free Google Photos app, but a subscription gets added benefits like new AI-powered filters and a new video editor.

Use “dynamic” to automatically enhance brightness and contrast where needed, while “sky suggestions” make images pop by adjusting color and contrast for spectacular results. “Think of these as super filters that apply complex edits with a single tap,” wrote product manager Zachary Senzer in a blog post.
Google is also introducing a new video editor that lets you trim, stabilize, rotate, and trim clips, not to mention changing the perspective, adding filters, and applying granular edits (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.). Now available in Google Photos on iOS, these features will roll out to most Android users in the coming weeks.
Starting at $ 1.99 per month, Google One members can enjoy additional benefits like 100GB of storage, premium support, Google Store rewards, extended free trials, and more. These editing features are still available to Pixel owners at no additional cost.
