Editing photos in Google Drive is a game-changer for anyone who wants to enhance their digital photos without leaving the comfort of their Google account.
To get started, you'll need to have Google Drive and Google Photos connected, which allows you to access your photos and edit them directly within Google Drive.
Google Drive offers a range of editing tools, including adjustments for brightness, contrast, and saturation, as well as the ability to crop and rotate your photos.
With Google Drive's editing features, you can bring out the best in your photos and share them with friends and family in no time.
Editing Photos Directly
Editing photos directly in Google Drive can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely possible. You can integrate a third-party editing tool like Picsart or Photo Editor With Drive to directly edit photos in Google Drive.
Picsart offers a wide range of features for an effortless picture editing experience. To integrate it with Google Drive, open Google Drive on your PC, click New, and hover on More to click Connect more apps. Then, type "Picsart" in the search bar and press Enter to select it from the search results.
You can also use Photo Editor With Drive, which allows you to edit pictures directly from Google Drive. However, you cannot directly save the edited image, so you'll need to save it to your PC and reupload it to Drive.
If you don't want to use an extension for image editing, you can use Google Drawings, a drawing and photo editing tool readily available in Google Drive. To do this, open Google Drive, click New, and hover on More to choose Google Drawing. Once on the Drawings page, click Insert from the top menu and hover on Images to click Drive and insert a photo from Google Drive.
Picsart has announced that its entire web-based photo editor is now integrated into Google Drive, enabling users to edit Google Drive images in Picsart's Web Editor and save them back to Drive in one connected interface.
