Google Photos has rolled out a new feature called Quick Edits. This feature lets you make simple changes to your photos, such as cropping or enhancing them, just before you share them with others.

When you select an image to share, you will now see options to quickly crop or enhance the photo. These tools appear directly in the sharing menu, so you do not need to open the full editing suite or leave the sharing flow. This makes it easier to improve your photos on the go, especially if you notice something you want to fix at the last moment.

The Quick Edits feature is available to all users of Google Photos. You do not need a paid subscription or special access to use it. The tools are designed to be simple and fast, focusing on the most common changes people make before sending images to friends or family.

Google says this update is meant to save you time and help you share better-looking photos without extra steps. The company has not announced any restrictions or limitations for this feature, so you can use it with any image you want to share through Google Photos.

This change is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to make photo management and sharing more user-friendly. With Quick Edits, you can make sure your photos look their best before you send them, all within a few taps.
