Google Photos now permits you to create memes using your individual images. On Thursday, Google introduced a brand new generative AI-powered feature called “Me Meme” that lets you mix a photograph template and a picture of yourself to create a picture of the meme.
The latest feature, which can initially be available to US-based users, was originally discovered in development last October from Android Authority blog. It was formal announced released by Google on Thursday via its Photos community site.
Google says the feature is experimental, so generated images “may not perfectly match the unique photo.” It is really helpful to upload well-lit, focused, and front-facing photos for best results.
The addition is just intended to be a fun method to explore your photos and experiment with Google's Gemini AI technology, specifically Nano Banana. Google's popular AI image model powers other AI features within the Google Photos app, akin to the power to recreate images in latest styles akin to cartoons or paintings.
While these sorts of features are a reasonably minor addition all things considered, they remind users to return to the Photos app in the event that they wish to mess around with AI tools somewhat than switching to a competitor's product.
Additionally, users are likely to prefer features that show up in AI edits, as OpenAI discovered with the successful launch of the Sora app, which permits you to create AI videos featuring yourself and your mates.
Me Meme isn't fully available yet, so it’s possible you’ll not see it in your updated Google Photos app yet. If it's available, Google says it can appear within the “Create” tab. A Google representative told TechCrunch that the feature will reach U.S. iOS and Android users within the “coming weeks.”
