Google's latest feature, Pixel Zoom Enhance, has changed the face of image editing in its own right. This powerhouse tool enhances and zooms images using artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal details like never before.

This feature is available exclusively on high-end Pixel devices, that will change the way you edit and take photos.

How Pixel Zoom Enhance works

Zoom Enhance works with on-device AI, considering and improving your images by filling in details that are lacking and eliminating noise.

This feature lives inside Google Photos, allowing users to enhance pictures taken from any device. Using Zoom Enhance, users can:

  • Enhance low-resolution images
  • Zoom in on details without losing quality
  • Improve image clarity and sharpness
  • Reduce noise and artefacts

Pixel Zoom Enhance availability

Pixel Zoom Enhance is going to work only on the Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold—not the regular Pixel 9. This is because it requires on-device processing of a very sophisticated kind.

Besides image enhancement itself, Pixel Zoom Enhance can change the way we can take pictures. It will let us take wider shots, knowing that we can zoom in later and capture more of the scene — new creative possibilities and a fresh perspective on photography.
