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.

I've used Google photos since my first Android in 2014. I think it is the best photos app with cloud storage. The editing tools are great! Now, the widget needs some work. I have thousands of pictures on my account. But, I am constantly shown pics of a car accident I had and the corpse of my dead grandfather. I find this very odd that it has a preference for these pics. I suggest implementing some AI tools into the widget that differentiates between pleasant memories and those less pleasant.

Google Photos is one of the best apps for storing, organizing, and backing up photos and videos. It offers smart search, auto albums, and editing tools—all in a clean interface. The AI-based memories and suggestions are very helpful. In 2019, I moved all my photos from Flickr, and Google Photos offers more features and updates than Flickr ever did. However, free storage is now limited, which is a downside. Adding more free storage or cheaper plans could make Google Photos unbeatable.

insane design. I didn't want my photos backed up for a reason. because I don't want to have happen exactly what did when I accidentally hit the backup button it throws in front of you everytime you open it, no matter now many times you decline. It hijacks your photos on your device, then runs out of storage and cant use any apps. then you pay for more storage or delete them, only deleting them means losing them altogether. Predatory design. Lost some good memories. Completely unforgivable.

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.
