Key Highlights:

• The tool appears under the “Create” tab in the Photos app.
• Google Photos rolls out “Me Meme” to U.S. users on Android and iOS.
• The feature uses generative AI to place you inside meme templates.
• Users pick a template, add a photo, and generate a shareable image.

Google has introduced “Me Meme” in Google Photos, a new AI feature that turns your own photos into personalized memes. Rolling out in the U.S., the tool lets users place themselves inside meme templates using generative AI. It matters because it brings playful, creator-style editing directly into a mainstream photo app.

The feature appears under the Create tab in the Google Photos app. It is rolling out gradually over the coming weeks on both Android and iOS.

What is “Me Meme” in Google Photos?

“Me Meme” is an experimental AI tool that creates funny, personalized images using your photos. You choose a template. Then you add a photo of yourself. The system generates a meme-style image that is ready to save or share.

Google says the results may not always match the original photo perfectly. For best results, it recommends using well-lit, front-facing images.

The feature was first spotted in development last October by Android Authority. Google formally announced it this week on its Photos Community site.

How does Me Meme work?

Creating a meme takes a few steps:

• Open the Photos app.
• Tap Create, then select Me Meme.
• Choose a preset template or upload your own.
• Tap Add photo and select your image.
• Hit Generate.

After that, you can save the result, regenerate a new version, or share it across platforms. First-time users see a short intro screen with a “Try Now” option.

What powers the feature?

Google built Me Meme on its Gemini AI technology, using its popular image model known as “Nano Banana.” The same model already powers other Google Photos tools, such as restyling images into cartoons or paintings.

By placing this tool inside Photos, Google keeps AI creation close to where users already store memories. It also reduces the need to jump to third-party apps for quick experiments.

Why is Google adding playful AI tools?

Features that put users inside AI edits tend to drive engagement. OpenAI saw similar behavior with Sora, where people enjoyed placing themselves and friends into generated content.

Even though Me Meme is lighthearted, it keeps users returning to Google Photos to explore AI. It also positions the app as more than a storage service.

Me Meme is not fully rolled out yet. When it arrives on your device, it will appear under Create in Google Photos. As the rollout expands, the feature could become a regular stop for users who want fast, AI-powered fun without leaving the app.
