Google has released Art Selfie 2, an AI-powered tool in the Google Arts & Culture app that allows users to take selfies with a historical twist. The original feature, launched in 2018, helped users find their look-alikes throughout art history. This new version uses generative AI to edit selfie snaps and place users in their choice of a historical or artistic moment. There are 27 options to choose from, including Woodstock Festival and Gaucho and Rousseau's Jungle. The app is free and easy to use, with a ten-second wait time for the generated image. Users can also read up on the historical significance of the chosen theme. Unfortunately, Art Selfie 2 is not yet available for pets, unlike the original Art Selfie option in the Pet Portraits section. The app is available for download on both Android and iOS devices.To take an Art Selfie, users need to download the Google Arts & Culture app and go to the Play section. From there, they can choose Art Selfie 2 and take a selfie using the app's camera feature. Users can retake the photo if desired and scroll down to see different AI styles. Tapping on a style generates the image and provides a description of the historical moment or painting. If users are not satisfied with the results, they can refresh to generate a new version. The final image can be shared directly to social media or downloaded to the device's camera roll. The Google Arts & Culture app offers more features to explore, making it a recommended tool.
In addition to Art Selfie 2, the article mentions other unsung Google apps and tools worth exploring, such as Google Family Link, Google Scholar, and Google Flights. The article also provides links to related articles on Google's AI-generated poems and the best Google Doodles of the past 25 years.
