Google Photos might be stepping up its photo editing game with an expected update to its Magic Editor, rumoured to feature a new Reimagine tool.
This tool, if introduced, could use AI to allow users to make major changes to their images, from modifying backgrounds to adding or moving objects, all with just a few clicks.
Google Photos updates
While the Magic Editor already offers impressive features, this update would reportedly make these AI-powered editing options even easier to use. According to rumours, Google Photos v7.6 would bring a refreshed UI to Magic Editor, potentially adding “Insert” and “Replace” options.

These options could let users bring up a text field with a prefilled command, making it simpler to describe the exact changes they want in the photo. This rumoured feature could give users a more personalised and intuitive editing experience powered by Google’s AI.
Google Photos Reimagine Background
Another feature potentially in the works is the “Reimagine Background” option. Previously, changing a background required manually selecting the entire area, which could be time-consuming.
If these rumours hold, the Reimagine Background tool might automate this process, letting users quickly apply a new look to their image backgrounds.
Google Photos Magic Editor
These possible updates could make Google Photos’ Magic Editor an even better choice for users who want to create standout images with minimal effort. If the rumours are accurate, this update could make it easier to experiment with AI-driven options, helping users unlock new levels of creativity in photo editing.
