Google brings enhanced editing magic to older Pixels
TLDR: Magic Editor and other premium Google Photos features are now free for older Pixels and non-Pixel devices, with some limitations.
Great news for Pixel 6 and 7 users! The amazing Magic Editor, which wowed Pixel 8 owners, is now rolling out to older Pixels. This powerful AI tool lets you remove objects, change skies, resize subjects, and more – all for free!
A gradual rollout
Although Google planned a May 15th launch, the feature started appearing for users a week later. Keep an eye out for a pop-up in your Camera app, and make sure your Google Photos app is up-to-date.
Unlimited access to Pixels
Pixel owners can enjoy Magic Editor without limits. However, non-Pixel devices, including iPhones, get only 10 saves per month. To unlock more, you’ll need a 2TB+ Google One plan or wait 30 days for the quota reset.

To use Magic Editor, your device must have:
- Android 8.0+
