Google Photos could soon let you convert photos into videos based on custom text prompts.<\/p>\n

SOPA Images\/LightRocket via Getty ImagesKey TakeawaysGoogle Photos is finally giving users control over \u201cPhoto to Video\u201d conversions.An unreleased feature found in the Android App suggests users will be able to write their own prompts.International rollout remains a challenge: The Photo to Video feature is currently only available in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Google Photos is preparing to give users complete creative control over its AI-powered \u201cPhoto to Video\u201d video creation tool. A new update, currently in testing, will allow users to direct the action they want to see in the videos generated from their photos, moving beyond the limited \u201cSubtle movement\u201d and randomized \u201cI\u2019m feeling lucky\u201d options currently available.<\/p>\n

One of the most significant upgrades to Google Photos in recent times is the addition of the new \u201cCreate\u201d tab, which consolidates all of Google Photos\u2019 creative tools, including the recently released Photo to Video feature that utilizes Google\u2019s Veo 3<\/a> video model.<\/p>\n

Now, a deep dive into the latest version of the Google Photos Android app by app expert AssembleDebug<\/a> at Android Authority<\/a> has uncovered a hidden feature that provides a much-needed creative upgrade.<\/p>\n

Google Photos Photo To Video: Write Your Own Prompts!<\/p>\n

The discovery reveals a new \u201cWrite your own\u2026\u201d prompt box within the app\u2019s code, suggesting users will soon be free to describe any video they like by writing a text description. While the feature isn\u2019t yet live, it signals Google\u2019s intention to offer greater creative control in the near future.<\/p>\n

However, Google currently restricts many of its advanced AI features, including Photo to Video, to U.S. users. A recent in-app pop-up message announced the feature to international users, leaving them disappointed<\/a> to find that the feature remains unavailable outside the U.S., even in its current restricted form.<\/p>\n

Google’s cautious approach to generative AI in Google Photos prioritizes safety, protecting users against the creation of harmful or misleading content, but also offers less creative freedom than dedicated AI apps. Providing users with the ability to direct their own video clips is a significant step towards bridging this gap, and Google will likely implement robust safeguards before launch.<\/p>\n
