Editing on the go: how Galaxy AI simplifies photo and video editing on the Z Series
Editing photos and videos no longer means waiting until you're back at a desk. Galaxy AI brings a full editing toolkit to the Galaxy Z8 Series, so you can refine images, clean up clips, and add finishing touches right on your device. From Generative Edit and Object Eraser to Auto Trim and Audio Eraser, here's how each Galaxy AI tool works and how the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra make editing easier on a larger display.
What is generative edit on the Galaxy Z Series?
Generative Edit lets you reshape a photo without complex tools. You can move, resize, or remove a subject, straighten a tilted shot, or expand the frame, and Galaxy AI recreates the background so the result looks natural.
On the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, this feels especially fluid. Side-by-side editing on the large display shows your original on one half and your edits on the other, so you can compare versions before saving and make precise selections with more room to work.
How does object eraser clean up your photos?
Object Eraser removes unwanted objects, people or distractions from a shot, then fills in the background so the scene stays clean. It is ideal for quick retouching, from removing a passer-by to clearing away signboards, cables, or clutter.
Galaxy AI also adds a Suggest Erases tool that automatically detects people in the background and offers to remove them in a single tap, which is handy when you are working through a batch of photos. The larger Fold8 display makes it easier to spot fine details and select exactly what you want to remove.
What can you do with portrait studio?
Portrait Studio uses Galaxy AI to restyle your portraits, applying different looks and finishes to photos of people, and even pets. It is a simple way to give a favourite shot a fresh, polished feel without manual editing.
Previewing these styles on the Galaxy Z Fold8 or Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra gives you a bigger, clearer view of each option before you save, so it is easier to choose the look you want.
How does auto trim speed up video editing?
Auto Trim uses AI to analyse your footage, pick out the key moments, and assemble an instant highlight reel, cutting down the time you spend editing manually. You can choose a short, long, or custom length, then reorder clips and add audio, stickers, or text to finish.
This runs in the Studio extension of the Gallery app, and the Fold8's larger canvas gives you more room to review your timeline, fine-tune the sequence and see your edits clearly as you work.
How does audio eraser improve your videos?
Audio Eraser detects and separates background sounds in a video, then lets you turn down or remove noise like traffic, wind, music, or crowd chatter. You can adjust individual audio types, so voices stay clear while distractions fade.
It is a quick way to make handheld clips sound more polished, and the larger display makes it easier to see the audio options and preview the result before saving.
Why do Foldable displays make on-device editing easier?
A larger display gives you more control and precision. On the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the expansive screen lets you see more of your photo or video timeline at once, make accurate selections, and review fine details clearly.
The wider canvas also keeps your editing tools and preview visible together, so adjustments feel more natural. The Galaxy Z Fold8 offers a 7.6-inch main display, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra steps up to an 8-inch display with a 200MP camera system, giving creators even more room and detail to work with.
