Google has introduced a new generative AI feature in Google Photos that allows users to create memes using their own photos.
The feature, called “Me Meme,” lets users combine a meme template with a personal image to generate AI-powered meme-style pictures.
The new tool is currently rolling out to users in the United States and was officially announced on Thursday through Google’s Photos Community page. It was first spotted in development last October by Android Authority.
Google says the feature is still experimental, meaning the generated images may not always look exactly like the original photo. To get better results, users are advised to upload clear, well-lit, front-facing images.
The company describes Me Meme as a fun way for users to explore their photo library while experimenting with its AI technology powered by Gemini, including its Nano Banana image model. The same AI system already powers other creative tools in Google Photos, such as transforming images into cartoon or painting-style visuals.
The "Me meme" feature which I spotted back in October 2025 is finally announced by Google.

While the feature is meant for entertainment, it also encourages users to spend more time in the Photos app instead of using competing AI tools. Google has seen that people are especially drawn to AI features that place themselves inside edited images, a trend also seen with OpenAI’s Sora app, which allows users to create AI videos featuring themselves and their friends.
The Me Meme feature has not fully rolled out yet, so it may not appear in the app immediately. Once available, it will be found under the “Create” tab in Google Photos. A Google spokesperson told TechCrunch that the feature will reach U.S. users on both Android and iOS devices over the coming weeks.

To use Me Meme, users can select an existing template or upload their own, add a photo, and tap the generate option. Google says more templates will be added over time. After the image is created, users can save it, share it on other platforms, or regenerate it for a different version.
