Google Photos just got a big video editing upgrade

Technology Dec 10, 2025

Google Photos has rolled out new video editing tools on Android and iOS, making it way easier to tweak and share your clips—no extra apps needed.
The updated interface lets you manage multiple clips and music tracks with a universal timeline, so everything's in one place.

Trim, crop, add text—right in the app

Now you can trim, crop, stabilize videos, drop in filters, and layer on text or background music—all inside Google Photos.
There are also handy templates for quickly putting together highlight reels synced to music.
While it doesn't have CapCut's fancy AI tricks, you still get manual control over fonts and colors for your text overlays—perfect for anyone looking to level up their Insta or TikTok game without the hassle.
