Google Photos has expanded its capabilities, allowing users to edit videos directly within the app. This update brings essential tools for trimming, cropping, stabilizing, and applying filters to video clips on both Android and iOS devices. Previously, Google users could export Recap projects to CapCut for advanced editing, but the new built-in editor provides a practical alternative for quick and simple edits without relying on third-party apps.
The updated interface features a universal timeline that supports multiple clips, music tracks, and a menu of editing tools, making it easier than ever to personalize content. Users can add text overlays, background music, and apply preset templates that automatically sync music, text, and cuts to create highlight videos. Those who prefer more control can adjust fonts, colors, backgrounds, and select music from the app’s library.
Google’s focus is on simplifying the video editing process for creators, enabling quick production of short-form content ready for social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. The new features show Google’s commitment to making Photos not just a storage tool, but a creative hub for users who want to edit and share videos efficiently, all in one place.
