Genie: AI Photo Video Editor is a pretty cool app that uses artificial intelligence to help you edit your photos and videos. It first launched on the Google Play Store and the App Store around early 2023. On Google Play, it has over 1 million installs so far, which is decent for a specialized tool. The app is completely free to download, though you do need to register with an email or social account to start using it. There are in-app purchases for premium features and occasional in-app ads, but you can get a lot done without spending a dime.

Using Genie is straightforward. You just open the app, upload a photo or video from your gallery, and then pick from a bunch of AI-powered tools. For example, you can remove backgrounds, enhance old photos, or add artistic filters. My tip is to start with the free trial of premium features before committing—some of the best effects are behind a paywall, but you can still get solid results with the basic tools. Also, save your projects locally because the cloud storage is limited unless you upgrade.

Compared to similar apps like Picsart or Adobe Lightroom, I chose Genie because it feels more focused on AI automation rather than manual editing. It's not as bloated as Picsart, which has a lot of social features I don't use, and it's way more affordable than Lightroom's subscription. For a casual user like me, Genie nails the balance between simplicity and power without overwhelming you with options.

Features

• ✨ AI-Powered Background Removal: Unlike Picsart's manual eraser tool, Genie uses smart AI to cut out subjects from photos or videos in seconds. It's almost perfect, even with complex hair or edges, saving me tons of time.
• ✨ Auto-Enhance for Old Photos: This app can restore old, blurry, or faded images automatically. Others like Remini charge for this, but Genie offers it for free with decent quality.
• ✨ Text-to-Video Effects: You can type a description and Genie generates short video clips or transitions. No other free app I've tried does this as smoothly—it's like having a mini animation studio in my pocket.
