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.

worst experience ever. i would rather throw my phone in a fire than use google photos. it literally decided to backup my entire device without my consent, even though i've always had backup turned off. the new undo backup feature? not there, i followed the directions. "delete photos from your services" can't, it's not listed. ------- google just needed to steal my photos and videos that i specifically requested not be backed up, so they could train their unethical AI.

You lose everything if something ever happens whether yours or theirs. I thought after paying for the last 21 years everything was safe until the system was having issues with any billing method I'd save which were ALL fine. I have platinum cards lol. I was still rec. warnings about losing files that I would be downgraded automatically to the free storage option when I had 1 TB. Well they did it & it's irrecoverable so don't pay for this ask geek squad your alternative to cloud saving options

Loved Google Photos. Always demonstrating to people how easy it was to find a photo i.e. 'Dog in a hat'. Now the search has changed to AI and it's terrible. Even changing to classic, the same search will show your photo briefly, then change to 'Nothing found' or a huge list of random garbage. I cannot search anything. So sad. I have thousands of photos in storage. Google was my end all, be all.

Hi Sabrina. We’ve heard your feedback and have updated Search. Please update the app to the latest version. If you’re still having issues, please send in-app feedback adding “#search”: https://goo.gle/4ewu28p.

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.
