What changes are coming to Google Photos?

The Google Photos app incorporates a new feature that transforms static images into clips of up to six seconds.

This tool, based on Veo 2, allows users to apply subtle movements to photos or use the "I'm Feeling Lucky" option.

What is Veo 2?

It is Google's AI video generator, similar to OpenAI's Sora or Meta's MovieGen.

Five mobile phone screens show the process of creating a video with artificial intelligence where a bulldog wearing a helmet and knee pads is skateboarding in a skate park.

It works by identifying elements in an image to animate them smoothly, achieving realistic and expressive results.

The "Remix" feature is also added

This tool allows users to recreate photos in different visual styles, such as comics, anime, sketches, or 3D animations.

Several mobile phones display different short videos with colorful and artistic images on their screens against a light yellow background.

It will be available in the coming weeks on iOS and Android, first in the United States and then globally.

What AI features does YouTube Shorts add?

As with Photos, YouTube Shorts will allow users to generate videos from images using the same technology.

The feature will debut in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand starting next week.
