'Magic Eraser' feature in Google Photos is now part of the Google One subscription service

The one of the best features of the Google Pixel, Magic Eraser, is now available on other Android and iOS devices as well. However, it will not be free. Earlier today, Google announced that the popular image cleaning tool, which uses artificial intelligence to remove unwanted content, will become available to Google One subscribers as well as existing Pixel owners. Additionally, Google One subscribers will receive a handful of other editing tools, including a new HDR video effect, exclusive collage styles, and more.

It was originally intended as a way to pay for additional cloud storage for things such as Photos, Docs, and Gmail, but gradually evolved into more than that. There have since been many expansions to the service, and it is now a broader suite of features, which now includes a VPN, as well as other members-only features like the ability to hold longer video calls on Google Meet, 10% cashback on Google Store purchases, extended trials, and other premium Google Photos features, such as Portrait Light, which allows you to soften the background and adjust the brightness and position of the light on the subject's face.

As part of this new feature, Google One subscribers will also have access to a new HDR video effect, which aims to balance dark foregrounds with bright backgrounds, or vice versa. This is similar to the effect that was already available for photos, according to Google.

Additionally, Google Photos has been updated with a range of new Styles to choose from and the ability to apply a Style to just one photo within a collage. This will also be available to both Google One subscribers as well as Pixel owners.

Google One subscribers will also be able to take advantage of free shipping when they order photo prints through the Google One online store in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Europe.
