This Hidden Google Photos Feature Lets You Create Animated Clips
Share We’ve all got that one photo that feels like it’s frozen in time. It could be a childhood memory, a group selfie, or a candid shot of someone you miss. What if you could bring it to life, just a little? Well, Google Photos is making that happen. A new feature called Photo to video lets you turn still images into short, animated clips. It’s subtle, a little surprising, and very cool.
So, what exactly is Photo to Video? Think of it like this: you pick any static photo from your Google Photos library, and the app gently animates it into a six-second video. It’s not a filter or a slideshow — it’s as if your photo takes a deep breath and comes alive.
This feature is powered by Veo 2, the same AI engine behind Google’s smarter video tools. So yes, it’s doing some serious magic behind the scenes, but for you, it’s just a matter of some clicks.
Here’s how to try it:
– “Subtle movements” if you want a soft, lifelike animation.
– “I’m feeling lucky” for something more experimental.
As of now, the Photo to Video feature in Google Photos is rolling out gradually in the U.S. on both Android and iOS. That means it may not be available to everyone yet — especially if you’re outside the U.S. Even within the U.S., some users might not see it immediately, depending on their app version and device compatibility.
