Besides being a cloud photo and video manager, Google Photos encompasses several features, and it is also one of the best platforms to stylize and edit photos. Not only that, it also offers several AI-backed features, such as highlight videos, which allow users to generate short video clips using the photos and videos uploaded to the platform.

Highlight videos can be generated on smartphones running on Android or iOS or even from a web browser. For this demonstration, we will be generating videos on an Android device. If you are a Google Photos user, here is how you can generate highlight videos that can be shared with friends, family, and on social media platforms.
