Google Photos 2025 Recap rolls out with smarter highlights: Here’s how you can create yours

Google Photos introduced the Google Photos Recap last year. The feature was rolled out to help users rediscover what made their year special. Now, Recap is back for the year 2025. The Recap feature will turn your photos and videos from the past year into a highlight reel you can enjoy and share. The feature, now rolling out globally, turns photos and videos into a cinematic highlight reel enriched with new personalization options, AI-driven insights, and easier sharing tools. “Your Recap highlights memorable photos and moments from your year, paired with fun graphics and cinematic effects. You’ll see familiar photo stats from last year, like your top people and total photo count — and this year we also added a selfie count,” Google Photos said in a blog post.
