The official Google Photos application is designed to match your current photography habits and features vital tools such as shared albums, automatic content creation, and a sophisticated editing toolkit. Each Google Account provides 15 GB of storage, allowing you to automatically back up your photos and videos in either High quality or Original quality, accessible from any device and at photos.google.com.

Benefits of using the official app include:

15 GB OF STORAGE: Safely secure 15 GB of your photos and videos while having the freedom to access them from any device or via photos.google.com—your media is protected, secure, and entirely yours. All photos and videos backed up in high quality before June 1, 2021, will not take up space in your Google Account storage.

FREE UP SPACE: Forget about storage limitations on your phone! Safely backed-up images can be easily removed from your device's storage with just a tap.

FAST AND POWERFUL SEARCH: You can now search through your photos based on the people, places, and objects within them—no tagging necessary.

ADVANCED EDITING SUITE: Enhance your photos instantly with user-friendly editing tools that allow you to apply content-aware filters, adjust lighting, and perform other edits.

AUTOMATIC CREATIONS: Enliven your photos with automatically generated movies, collages, animations, and panoramas. You can even create your own with ease.
