Dear Mom,

Becoming a parent has given me a new perspective on the important role you played in my life. As a small tribute to you, and all the other mothers out there, we're launching Mother’s Day movies—a new feature in Google Photos that makes it super easy to make a movie that celebrates a mom.

Starting today, people can go to photos.google.com/mothersday, pick a mom and kids, and then Google Photos does the rest. It automatically chooses the best photos of the mother and children, and sets it all to music to make a personalized movie.

People can make these movies for anyone they want, not just their own mom. I made one for Oana, to celebrate her being such a great mother to our daughter. 

Check it out!

Of course I made a movie for you too...I’ll send it to you on Mother’s Day! :-)

Love,
Tim

Today we’re bringing you four new features for Google Photos — three new ways for you to relive and the share moments that matter, and a quick way to fix some of those pesky sideways photos in your collection.

Second, we’re making it easier to look over the most recent highlights from your photos. If you take a lot of photos of your child, for example, you may occasionally get a card showing the best ones from the last month. (Hint hint: grandparents would love to see these!)

Third, we've always made animations from photos, but now we make animations from your videos, too. And not just any videos. We look for segments that capture activity — a jump into the pool, or even just an adorable smile — and create short animations that are easy to share.

Finally, when we find sideways pictures in your collection, you'll get a card that helps you easily put them right side up.

For all of these features, you don’t have to do a thing - machine learning in Google Photos does the work for you. Cards will automatically show up in the Assistant tab of Google Photos when they’re ready.

All features are available now on Android, iOS and the web.
