About this app

Google Photos is the home for all your photos and videos, automatically organized and easy to share.

- “The best photo product on Earth” – The Verge
- “Google Photos is your new essential picture app” – Wired

The official Google Photos app is made for the way you take photos today and includes essential features like shared albums, automatic creations and an advanced editing suite. Additionally every Google Account comes with 15 GB of storage and you can choose to automatically back up all your photos and videos in High quality or Original quality. You can then access them from any connected device and on photos.google.com.

With the official app, you get:

15 GB OF STORAGE: Back up 15 GB of photos and videos and access them from any device and photos.google.com—your photos are safe, secure, and private to you. All photos and videos you back up in high quality before June 1, 2021 will not count toward your Google Account storage.

FREE UP SPACE: Never worry about running out of space on your phone again. Photos that are safely backed up can be removed from your device's storage in just a tap.

NO ADS: Google Photos doesn't sell your photos, videos, or personal information to anyone and we don't use your photos and videos for advertising.

FAST AND POWERFUL SEARCH: Your photos are now searchable by the people, places and things in them — no tagging required.

GOOGLE LENS: Search the hard-to-describe and get stuff done, right from a photo. Copy and translate text, identify plants and animals, add events to your calendar, find products online, and more.

ADVANCED EDITING SUITE: Transform photos with a tap. Use intuitive and powerful photo editing tools to apply content-aware filters, adjust lighting, and more.

AUTOMATIC CREATIONS: Bring photos to life with automatically created movies, collages, animations, panoramas, and more from your photos. Or easily create them yourself.

SHARING SUGGESTIONS: With smart sharing suggestions, giving your friends the photos you took of them is painless. And they can add their photos, too, so you’ll finally get the photos you’re actually in.

LIVE ALBUMS: Select the people and pets you want to see and Google Photos will automatically add photos of them as you take them, no manual updates needed.*

PHOTO BOOKS: Create a photo book in just minutes from your phone or computer. You can also see suggested photo books based on your best shots from a trip or period of time.*

SEND PHOTOS IN SECONDS: Instantly share photos with any contact, email, or phone number.

SHARED LIBRARIES: Grant a trusted person access to all of your photos.

You can also upgrade storage for your Google Account, used for Original Quality photos and videos by subscribing to Google One. Subscriptions start at $1.99/month for 100 GB in the US. Pricing and availability can vary by region.

Google Photos is also available on Wear OS for the Google Pixel Watch. Set your favorite photos as your watch face.

love Google Photos app. They have great ways to make short films or reels of pictures up to 50 in a short. You can make cloages .I like to use my pictures to post on Facebook in the reels section. It's just all around fun if you have a creative mind. So give it a try It's free. You can purchase your pictures if you wish to. I have gotten some prints and they are perfect. They come in different sizes to choose from also . I have been with this program for years and I have not been disappointed .

I love Google photos except for a couple things. My biggest peeve is the Grouped photos section. I love being able to see a list of all my family and friends faces, but whenever I take pictures, it also starts adding unamed strangers into my search engine and list. I wish I could just delete that person, I have an enormous amount of people I have to continuously press the hide from memories.... the list starts to add up. if I could just delete the person it would be so much easier

Hi Ashley. You can hide someone from memories above your Photos view at any time from settings. Learn more: https://goo.gle/3AkkpL9.

I HATE the new organization of Collections. Now I have to click through multiple menus to find my folders, it takes longer and I don't want or need it. I also wish I could default to open on my Device folders which is what I use the most. I do not care about Memories. I hate the pop-ups that constantly ask me to back up my photos (which I do not want to do). This app gets worse and worse with every update. At least allow us to customize our default view! Please!!

What's new

We are introducing a new storage management tool to help you easily manage the photos that count toward your storage quota. This tool will surface photos or videos you might want to delete — like blurry photos, screenshots and large videos.
