Google Photos will now let you create memes from your own photos. On Thursday, Google introduced a new generative AI-powered feature called “Me Meme,” which lets you combine a photo template with your own photo to create a meme image.
Simply, Me Meme uses generative AI to “turn yourself into a meme.” To create these “funny, personalized images,” you first select a template. Google Photos offers various presets, or you can “upload your own funny picture” as a reference.
Afterwards, select a “prominent selfie or a photo where your face is clearly visible.” It should be a “well-lit, focused, and front-facing portrait photo.” There’s the option to edit before you “Generate.”
You save the meme to your library, regenerate it, or share It. There’s the ability to send feedback and compare the original photo to the generated meme.
According to Google, the feature is experimental, so generated images “may not perfectly match the original photo.” It suggests uploading well-lit, focused, and front-facing photos to get the best results.
“Me Meme” isn’t fully ready now, the feature will reach U.S. iOS and Android users over the “coming weeks.” All of this should be possible with the Gemini app, but Google Photos is trying to give you a more manageable experience. Meanwhile, the Me Meme brand has the potential to expand.
While it’s a relatively minor addition, all things considered, these features help remind users to return to the Photos app whenever they want to try out AI tools, rather than switching to a competitor’s product.
