Google Photos will now let you make memes with your own images. On Thursday, Google introduced<\/a> a new generative AI-powered feature called \u201cMe Meme,\u201d which will allow you to combine a photo template and an image of yourself to generate an image of the meme.<\/p>\n The new addition, which will be first available to U.S.-based users, was originally spotted in development last October<\/a> by the blog Android Authority. It was formally announced<\/a> by Google via its Photos Community site on Thursday. <\/p>\n According to Google, the feature is experimental, so generated images \u201cmay not perfectly match the original photo.\u201d It suggests uploading well-lit, focused, and front-facing photos to get the best results.<\/p>\n The addition is meant to just be a fun way to explore your photos and experiment with Google\u2019s Gemini AI technology, and specifically Nano Banana. Google\u2019s popular AI image model powers other AI features in the Google Photos app<\/a>, like the ability to re-create images in new styles, such as cartoons or paintings. <\/p>\n Though a fairly unserious addition, all things considered, these types of features help remind users to return to the Photos app whenever they want to play around with AI tools, rather than going to a competitor\u2019s product.<\/p>\n Plus, users tend to gravitate toward features that show themselves in AI edits, as OpenAI found with its successful launch<\/a> of the Sora app, which lets you make AI videos that can include yourself and your friends. <\/p>\n \u201cMe Meme\u201d isn\u2019t fully rolled out, so you may not see it in your updated Google Photos app just yet. When available, it will appear under the \u201cCreate\u201d tab, Google says. A rep for Google told TechCrunch the feature will reach U.S. iOS and Android users over the \u201ccoming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<\/span> To use the feature, you\u2019ll select a template or upload your own, then tap \u201cadd photo\u201d and \u201cGenerate.\u201d Google notes<\/a> that more templates are being added over time. After the AI creates the image, you can save the photo, share it on other platforms, or tap \u201cregenerate\u201d to have it re-imagine the image a second time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
