Google Photos has been pushing the company's AI image-editing tools with its Remix feature, offering a set of templates for one-tap transformations of photos into different formats, from clay sculptures to comic books, to 8‑bit video games. They have their charm, but they also tend to start to look the same after a while, and can often go far away from the original photo.
Given how effective Google's Nano Banana and Nano Banana Pro models are at making and editing images with Gemini 3, the Remix feature comes off as a bit bland. You'll end up with results that are not just more interesting, but often more faithful to the original.
