- The Android / iOS versions of the “Google Photos” app appear to be adding support for selecting video quality.
- Analysis of the app files from the Android version of the “Google Photos” app v8.0.0.1011730683 update confirms the addition of resource code related to “Choose quality” for video editing.
- The available quality options consist of three tiers: “Standard (480p),” “High (720p),” and “Full high (1080p).”
The Android and iOS versions of Google’s online photo library service, “Google Photos,” support not only image editing but also video editing.
Initially, video editing in the Android and iOS versions of the “Google Photos” app was limited to basic tasks like video trimming, but the toolset has since expanded significantly to include filters, effects, text insertion, speed adjustment, and more. However, it now appears that users will soon be able to specify video quality as well.

An analysis of the app files from the Android version of the “Google Photos” app v8.0.0.1011730683 update, released on Monday, November 9, 2026, confirmed the addition of resource code related to “Choose quality” for selecting video quality during editing. The selectable quality options are divided into three tiers: “Standard (480p),” “High (720p),” and “Full high (1080p).”
Based on the resource code, the UI mockup for the video quality selection screen has also been revealed. Please note that the actual rollout of the video quality selection feature in video editing has not yet been confirmed, and the timing of its release remains unknown at this time.

<string name="photos_varenyky_resolution_full_detail">1080p</string>The video quality selection feature currently under internal development within the “Google Photos” app is, in a sense, a long-awaited new feature that will allow users to choose from three quality tiers when saving edited videos. While the current version of the “Google Photos” app does not support video quality selection, users will soon be able to choose between “Standard (480p),” “High (720p),” and “Full high (1080p).”
Incidentally, a “4K (2160p)” option has not been found in the resource code.
