(Google Photos Adds New AI-Powered “Bokeh” Effect for Videos)

Google Photos now offers a bokeh effect for videos. This feature uses artificial intelligence. It creates blurred backgrounds in videos. This makes videos look more professional. The update started this week.

The tool works automatically. It finds the main subject in a video. Then it blurs everything behind it. This mimics high-end camera effects. Users do not need special skills. The AI handles the process.

The feature is free. It works on Android and iOS devices. Users need the latest Google Photos app. They can edit existing videos. They can also apply it to new recordings.

To use bokeh open a video in Google Photos. Tap the edit button. Select the new bokeh option. Adjust the blur strength if needed. Save the changes. The edit takes seconds.

Google Photos already has bokeh for photos. Now videos get the same treatment. The company says this improves personal videos. Many users wanted video blur effects.

A Google representative commented. They said this makes videos stand out. They called it simple and powerful. They noted rising demand for pro-level mobile tools.

The rollout is global. Some users might see delays. Server-side updates take time. Google plans more video features soon.

Earlier AI edits in Google Photos included object removal and color fixes. Video bokeh expands these options. Competitors like Apple offer similar tools. Google aims to match them.

User feedback shaped this release. Testing began months ago. Many testers praised the results. They found it easy and effective.

Video bokeh works best on clear subjects. Cluttered backgrounds may reduce accuracy. Google suggests good lighting for optimal results.
