Google Photos Adds Text Prompts and Default Audio to Photo-to-Video

Rollout to Android and iOS limits text prompting to users 18+.

Overview

  • Custom text prompts let users describe movement, style, or effects, with suggestions and post-generation editing to refine results.
  • Some AI-generated clips now include audio by default, producing videos that are ready to share.
  • The option appears under Photo to video in the Create tab as the rollout progresses, with availability varying by region and device.
  • Google restricts the text-prompt path to users 18+, and coverage flags potential misuse seen with similar AI editors.
  • Usage is subject to daily generation limits, with higher allowances for AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, and the system analyzes photo contents to apply motion appropriately by generating new frames.
