What exactly is Google Photo?
A Google service for sharing and storing photos is called Google Photos. It was launched in 2015 and is now very well known all around the world.
Your images and videos are kept by Google Photos in “the cloud”—technical speak for internet storage.
Discover The Benefits of Google Photos
- These are the main reasons why we consider Google Photos the best cloud storage service going around:
- Free, limitless storage is provided. Although you may pay if you want your images to be preserved at their original resolution, you’ll usually find that the free version’s typical good quality is sufficient. (Video resolution is restricted at 1080p, and images larger than 16MP are reduced to size.) More about storage will be discussed later.
- It has a ton of tools for managing, sharing, and using photographs and videos.
- It functions well on all devices.
- Using Google Photos doesn’t need you to be particularly tech-savvy.
- You may share material with individuals without requiring them to have Google Photos in order to view it (sharing is optional; your content is private by default).
- You may save photographs, such as screenshots or receipts, that you want to retain but may not want to revisit in an archive (find out more about archiving).
- You can use Google Lens to recognize items in pictures, copy and paste text from documents and textbooks, translate text on signs and in textbooks, scan QR codes, and more.
- The app allows you to revisit your most treasured experiences (a very popular feature).
- It’s simple to locate a certain image. The time and date of the photo’s capture are not important to recall. You may do a search using a person’s name, an occasion, an item, a location, text inside a picture, or even a map.
- You may create albums, collages, videos, and animations to save, share, or embed.
