Google Photos just got a neat new update that will make it easier to have sorted images without having to do it manually.

According to Google Vice President Bradley Horowitz, the new Google Photos will act as a Gmail for pictures, sorting images in a smart and efficient manner so users can find them easily without having to go through the hassle of manually sorting a slew of photos.

Simply put, Google Photos tries to apply the efficient Gmail model to still images and videos by handling your photo trove through clever search and algorithms that can recognize and sort on their own. According to Google, people will take roughly one trillion photos this year alone, and sorting through them is paramount.

"The more moments we capture, the more challenging it becomes to relive those memories. Photos and videos become littered across mobile devices, old computers, hard drives and online services (which are constantly running out of space). It's almost impossible to find that one photo right at the moment you need it, and sharing a bunch of photos at once is frustrating, often requiring special apps and logins," Google explains in an official company blog post announcing the new Google Photos.

"We wanted to do better. So today we're introducing Google Photos-a new, standalone product that gives you a home for all your photos and videos, helps you organize and bring your moments to life, and lets you share and save what matters."

Google Photos is able to automatically recognize specific places, people, and things, sorting the images into collections through which users can search and browse. You can find, for instance, photos of your dog, your daughter, or someone else, because Google can recognize them. The auto-grouping is private and only you can see these collections, so you get to decide what to share and what to keep for yourself.

Google Photos can also automatically generate movies from your photos, complete with an accompanying soundtrack so you don't have to spend time doing it yourself.

Moreover, Google has also improved the sharing options, allowing users to share photos and videos more easily. To share hundreds of photos at once, for instance, users can simply create a link to the desired collection. The recipient won't need any special app or login to see what you shared, and they can save the images to their own library with a single tap. At the same time, you can also add or revoke access to shared links at any given time.

Lastly, it's worth pointing out that Google promised unlimited storage for your photos and videos, but that's only if you store less than 15GB of photos. Anything above that and you'll have to pay for the service. This means that photos larger than 16 megapixels and videos larger than 1080p resolution will weigh on your Google Drive storage limit.

The new Google Photos is now available for download on Android, iOS, and the web, so you can give it a try already. To get a better idea of the service, check out the video below.
