Google Photos Testing A Print Subscription Service

Digital photos are great because they don’t take up physical space and you can access them from anywhere. However, there are some who might argue that holding and looking through physical photos can feel a lot better and more personal. If you’re interested in getting your digital photos printed, Google Photos might have something for you.

According to 9to5Google, they were tipped off by a source that revealed that Google could be testing a Google Photos service that prints your photos for you. This doesn’t sound particularly groundbreaking, but what makes this different from regular photo printing services is that it is a subscription based service.

This is where for $7.99 a month, Google will “automatically” select photos from your last 30 days and print them in a 4×6 size and send them to you. Yes, this means that you do not get to choose your photos, but instead you will need to rely on Google’s AI which will determine which photos are the best and which might warrant printing.

Interestingly enough, this feels like Google could be leveraging some of the tech from Google Clips, its AI-powered camera that has been trained to capture your “best” moments, or in this case, select your best photos from the last 30 days. At the moment the service seems to be testing and it is unclear if there are plans to roll it out, but what do you think? Is this a service you might be interested in?
