Google+ Photos

Google+ Photos lets you back up all your photos in the cloud, where they're accessible from any device. You can upload unlimited photos at tablet resolution (2048px) for free, and upload larger photos at full resolution using your 15 GB of free Google Drive storage (increasing from 5GB in the coming weeks). Auto Backup (formerly Instant Upload) lets you back up new photos from your phone as soon as you take them, so they'll stay safe even if you lose your device.

The new Highlight view organizes all of your photos so they're easy to browse through- whether they're from your phone, albums you've created, events you're a part of, or albums you're tagged in. You'll see a selection of top shots for each set of photos, so you can share a few standouts without spending time sorting through duplicates and blurry images.

Photos look better than ever after you add them to Google+, thanks to our new Auto Enhance technology. Auto Enhance makes intelligent improvements to each of your photos, accentuating important details and helping the people and places in your images look their best. If you don't like the changes, it's easy to undo them.

Finally, you get more than just the photos you've added when you use Google+. Auto Awesome creates fun new images from the photos in your account -- short animations, panoramic photos, photo booth-style portraits, and more.
