Google announced a new feature called Remix for its Photos app in July. While it is yet to be made available for devices widely, the tech giant has now shed more light on how it works. As per Google, the Remix feature leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI) to transform normal selfies, portraits, or pet photos into artistic styles, such as 3D animation, anime, sketch, and more. It is built into the Photos app and is separate from the default photo editor.
In a blog post, Google explained the Remix feature in the Photos app. It was announced alongside the photo-to-video feature, powered by Veo 2, and was expected to be available to Android and iOS users in the US in subsequent weeks. As per the tech giant, users can pick a photo from their gallery and choose a particular style to transform their normal photo into an artistic piece for sharing with others on social media.
They can select options such as 3D animation, anime, comic book, and sketch. Photos reimagined with Google's Remix feature can be shared with others just like any other image, as per the company.
As per Google, users can tap on the Regenerate option to get varied results in the same artistic style. They can also change the selected photo with the Change photo option. However, the feature is experimental and may not match the original photo.
To get the best results, the tech giant has advised users to upload a well-lit, focused, or front-facing portrait photo of one or a few subjects.
