Google Photos to Introduce Feature That Transforms Images Into Videos Using AI
Google Photos is preparing to roll out a new feature that will allow users to convert their static images into animated videos. This upcoming tool, which builds upon the app’s existing suite of photo editing capabilities—including AI-powered object removal—is expected to bring a more dynamic and creative way for users to relive their memories.
The new feature, known as “Remix,” was discovered within the APK file of Google Photos version 7.36, which is available on the Google Play Store. According to Android Authority, this feature presents a redesigned interface that enables photo-to-video conversion, signaling a significant enhancement in media creation within the app.
The Remix feature offers users three animation styles when generating videos:
- “Subtle Movements” – likely designed for gentle panning or zoom effects,
- “Go Wild” – potentially applying more exaggerated or playful transitions, and
- “I’m Feeling Lucky” – possibly selecting a style at random.
A pop-up window associated with the tool notes that it is experimental and currently comes with a disclaimer, suggesting that the videos generated may not always meet expected standards. It also indicates that the feature is still under development and has not been publicly activated.
At this stage, the Remix tool is non-functional, as Google appears to have disabled its execution via its servers. However, the presence of the complete interface and design within the APK suggests that the feature is nearly ready for deployment.
Given that Google often synchronizes new software features with major product announcements, there is speculation that this function could be officially launched around the expected unveiling of the Pixel 10 series in August 2025.
Once released, this feature is likely to enhance the creative possibilities for users, offering a new way to share and experience personal photos in video format, directly within the Google Photos ecosystem.
