Google has announced a new artificial intelligence feature for Google Photos that allows users to turn their own images into memes directly within the app. Revealed on Thursday (22), the tool is called “Meme Me” and is currently rolling out on an experimental basis in the United States. The feature is not yet available in Brazil or other regions.
Until now, creating AI-generated memes typically required third-party tools, prompts, and manual uploads. With Meme Me, Google is bringing that functionality directly into its photo gallery and editing ecosystem, streamlining the process for casual users.
According to a Google employee who shared details in the app’s support community, the feature uses generative AI to transform personal photos into “fun and personalized images” designed for easy sharing. The company describes it as a lightweight creative tool rather than a professional editing feature, designed to encourage playful interaction with users’ photo libraries.
How Meme Me Works
Creating a meme using the new feature is designed to be simple and quick. Users can access it by opening Google Photos, tapping the “Create” option in the bottom menu, and selecting “Meme Me.” From there, they choose a preset template, add a photo, and generate the image. Once created, the meme can be saved, regenerated for a different variation, or shared to other apps and social platforms.
Google advises using clear selfies with good lighting for the best results. The company also notes that Meme Me is still experimental, meaning image quality and accuracy may vary and outputs may not always match user expectations.
Limited Availability for Now
At launch, Meme Me is available only to users in the United States and is being tested as part of Google Photos’ experimental features. Google has not yet shared a timeline or confirmed plans for expanding the tool to additional countries or regions.
The addition reflects Google’s broader push to integrate generative AI into its consumer products in subtle, everyday ways—embedding creative tools into apps people already use, rather than requiring separate AI platforms. Whether Meme Me becomes a permanent feature will likely depend on user adoption and feedback during this initial testing phase.
