Every second of every day, people around the world are capturing their
memories through photos and videos. Humankind has already taken
trillions of photos and will take another trillion this year alone.
But the more moments we capture, the more challenging it becomes to relive those memories. Photos and videos become littered across mobile devices, old computers, hard drives and online services (which are constantly running out of space). It’s almost impossible to find that one photo right at the moment you need it, and sharing a bunch of photos at once is frustrating, often requiring special apps and logins.
We wanted to do better. So today we’re introducing Google Photos—a new, standalone product that gives you a home for all your photos and videos, helps you organize and bring your moments to life, and lets you share and save what matters.
A home for all your Photos and Videos
Google Photos gives you a single, private place to keep a lifetime of memories, and access them from any device. They’re automatically backed up and synced, so you can have peace of mind that your photos are safe, available across all your devices.
And when we say a lifetime of memories, we really mean it. With Google Photos, you can now backup and store unlimited, high-quality photos and videos, for free. We maintain the original resolution up to 16MP for photos, and 1080p high-definition for videos, and store compressed versions of the photos and videos in beautiful, print-quality resolution. For all the storage details, visit our help center.
Organize and bring your Moments to Life
Google Photos automatically organizes your memories by the people, places, and things that matter. You don’t have to tag or label any of them, and you don’t need to laboriously create albums. When you want to find a particular shot, with a simple search you can instantly find any photo—whether it’s your dog, your daughter’s birthday party, or your favorite beach in Santa Barbara. And all of this auto-grouping is private, for your eyes only.The app can also help you quickly enhance photos and combine them in new ways to help you relive your life’s moments. In one tap, get instant adjustments tuned to the photo’s color, lighting, and subject to make each photo look its best. Press the “+” button to create your own collages, animations, movies with soundtracks, and more.
If you swipe to the left, you’ll open the Assistant view, where we’ll suggest new things made with your photos and videos, such as a collage or a story based on a recent trip you took. After previewing the creation, you can choose to keep, edit, or discard it.
Easily share and save what matters
With Google Photos, you have the choice to share your photos and videos however you want across any service you choose, from Hangouts to Twitter to WhatsApp. But even then, it’s still remarkably difficult to share a lot of photos just with friends and family and keep the ones shared with you—it usually involves a lot of downloading and re-uploading across a number of different services. We wanted to make sharing much simpler and more reliable.
You can now take any set of photos and videos, or any album, and simply create a link to share hundreds of photos at once. The recipient can see what you shared without a special app or login, then immediately save the high-quality images to their own library with a single tap. So now it’s easier to hang on to the photos you care about even if you weren’t the one holding the camera.f you want to give Google Photos a whirl, it's available now on Android, iOS and the web. With this launch we've made a lot of progress towards eliminating many of the frustrations involved in storing, editing and sharing your memories. But we have a lot more in store—so as you keep snapping photos and capturing videos, we’ll keep working on making them even easier to store, share and bring to life.

Google
has officially announced its Photos service with unlimited free storage
for photos and videos at the Google I/O developer conference. The
Photos service is now available for Web, Android and iOS devices.
Google Photos
service will now allow users to store images of up to 16 MP at full
resolution. Photos taken in higher resolutions will be compressed, but
Google says the image quality wont be affected. Videos will be stored
for free up to 1080p. Users with paid Google Drive accounts can store
photos and videos in full resolution. Google Photos includes a new
feature which allows users to press and drag on the screen to select
multiple photos and share them on popular social networking sites like
Facebook, etc. There is a "Get a link" option that groups all the images
into one Web link. The service automatically groups images of the same
person over time as well as allows users to search for images.
A
new Photos Assistant will help users in creating movies, animations,
collages or other items with just a touch of a button. The service also
suggests ideas for grouping videos or photos together. Users can also
group photos by days, months or years. Google Photos syncs across all
devices instantly. Google Photos director Anil Sabharwal says Google
Photos will create, "an entirely new experience from the ground up that
will serve as a private and safe place for all images and videos. It can
easily organize content as well as make it easy to share."
This
officially separates Google Photos from the internet giants social
networking site Google Plus. Google Vice President of Products Bradley
Horowitz stated that Google Plus is now positioned as a place where
users can connect. Horowitz says Plus “connects people around shared
interest and passions”. He added that Google Plus communities have over
one million joins a day. Rumors about Google shutting the ailing social
network have been making the rounds for a while now. However, Horowitz
says the Google Plus will receive the “same level of product diligence”
as other services he oversees.
