Google Photos offers a bunch of photo-editing tools but Magic Eraser is undoubtedly the best one. It is an AI-powered tool that helps users remove unwanted objects from the photo. It was announced as a Pixel-exclusive feature last year but has now been expanded to everyone on Android and iOS. But before you get too excited, it is important to note it will not be available for free.
The team has now made Magic Eraser a perk of the Google One subscription. It means if you want to use the tool, you will need to pay for the subscription which provides extra cloud storage. It also has a few other perks including free VPN access. Once you are a subscriber, you are able to use these perks on both Android and iOS. However, if you have a Pixel device (even the older models), Magic Eraser will be available for free to you.
Google has announced a couple of new special features for One subscribers. The first one is the video HDR effect that aims to help balance dark foregrounds and bright backgrounds or vice versa. The effect was previously available for photos but can now be applied to videos as well. The second feature is the addition of new exclusive collage editor designs. These new designs will also be available for Pixel users.
Lastly, Google has announced free shipping on all print orders done via the print store. This particular perk is only for users in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union. Users can choose from custom photo books, canvas prints, and photo prints across different sizes.
All the aforementioned Google One features have started rolling out in a gradual manner. It means it may take some before these appear on your particular device. We would suggest you stay patient and install any new updates that will arrive in the app store.
