Google Photos now lets you turn images into short videos & remix them in different styles

Google Photos is rolling out a suite of creative tools aimed at making photo and video editing more dynamic. Building on recent advancements, users now have access to a photo-to-video feature powered by Veo 2. This capability lets anyone turn their stored images into fun, short-form videos with just a few taps, expanding sharing options for existing galleries.

Following these editing enhancements, the new Remix tool allows users to convert images into anime, comic, sketch, or 3D animation styles within seconds. These playful transformations can be shared directly from the app, offering creative flexibility for friends and family content.

To streamline access, Google has introduced a Create tab that brings together Photo to video, Remix, collages, highlight videos, and more into one central space. This update simplifies the discovery of editing features so that experimenting with photos is more straightforward.

All outputs from the Photo to video and Remix features will be marked with SynthID invisible digital watermarks, ensuring authenticity and responsible sharing. Additionally, videos generated with these tools will include visible watermarks, matching Google’s approach for content transparency in services like Gemini.
