AI Photo Editing for All: Google’s Magic Editor Arrives on Older Smartphones

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more mainstream, and Google is leading the charge by making its AI-based photo editing tool, Magic Editor, available on older smartphones. Previously exclusive to the Pixel 8, Magic Editor is now coming to other models through Google Photos, fulfilling a promise made by the tech giant.

What Can Magic Editor Do?

Magic Editor allows users to make complex photo edits with simple, intuitive actions. With this tool, you can change, resize, and remove parts of photographs. For instance, you can circle an object in the image and move it elsewhere or change the lighting to a different time of day. As Google explained in a recent release, “Using generative AI, this editor makes it easy to do complex photo edits with simple and intuitive actions, like repositioning your subject or turning the sky from gray to blue.”

Limitations and Requirements

While Magic Editor is becoming more accessible, there are some restrictions. Android users who don’t have a Pixel device and anyone on iOS will be limited to 10 saves a month. To exceed this limit, these users must subscribe to a Premium Google One plan, which costs $10 and comes with 2TB or higher.

However, some AI tools will remain free for all Google Photos users. These include Magic Eraser, unblur, sky suggestions, color pop, HDR effect for photos & videos, portrait blur, Portrait light, cinematic photos, styles in collage editor, and video effects.

To use Magic Editor, Android users will need a device with OS 8.0 or newer, 4 GB or more of RAM, and a 64-bit chipset. The full rollout will take place over the “coming months,” according to 9to5Google.

AI Goes Mainstream

The arrival of Magic Editor on older smartphones is just the latest step in AI’s journey into the mainstream. As AI continues to find its way to more consumers, regardless of whether they have the newest devices, it’s clear that this technology is here to stay. Google continues to innovate in the AI space, as showcased in its recent I/O event.
