Google's Auto Frame uses AI to crop and resize photos for better composition on Pixel phones, including the Pixel 9a. The feature, first introduced with the Pixel 9 series, appears inside Google Photos' Crop tool rather than as a primary edit option. Auto Frame detects the subject and adjusts framing-centering the subject, shifting aspect ratios, or, in some cases, expanding the image with generative AI to create a wider look.
