Best Take on the Pixel 9 is an intelligent feature designed to help you perfect your photos, especially group shots, by seamlessly combining the best expressions from multiple frames into a single, ideal image.

How to Utilize Best Take on Your Pixel 9
While the exact interface may see minor refinements with the Pixel 9, the core functionality of Best Take typically resides within the Google Photos app, leveraging the device's advanced computational photography capabilities. It’s important to remember that not everyone's best take has to look the same, so feel free to experiment to achieve your desired outcome.
Here’s a general guide on how to access and use this feature:
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Best Take
-
Capture Your Moments:
- Take a series of photos, especially when capturing group shots or portraits. Best Take works most effectively when you have multiple frames of the same scene, such as a burst shot or several consecutive pictures.
-
Open Google Photos:
- Navigate to the Google Photos app on your Pixel 9. This is where all your images are stored and where Pixel's advanced editing features are integrated.
-
Select the Desired Photo:
- Find the set of photos you wish to enhance. If you took a burst, they might be grouped together. Select one photo from the series.
-
Access Editing Tools:
- Tap the Edit icon (usually a pencil or slider icon) at the bottom of the screen. This will open the photo editing suite.
-
Locate Best Take (or Similar Feature):
- Within the editing options, look for tools related to AI enhancements or "Magic Editor." Best Take is often found under a section dedicated to adjusting faces, expressions, or general AI-powered adjustments. The specific name might be "Best Take" or integrated into a broader "Face Unblur" or "Expressions" tool.
- Tip: Keep an eye out for a prompt or icon suggesting available "Best Take" options if the system detects multiple usable faces/expressions within your selected photo series.
-
Choose the Best Expressions:
- Once activated, the feature will analyze the expressions of individuals in the different frames. You will typically be presented with various face options for each person detected.
- Simply tap on each face to cycle through the available expressions from the different photos in the sequence. Select the expression that looks best for each individual.
-
Apply and Save:
- After selecting the ideal expressions for everyone, tap Done or Save to apply the changes. The Pixel's AI will seamlessly merge these chosen expressions into your final photo, creating a perfect group shot.
Tips for Optimal Results
- Take Multiple Shots: The more frames Best Take has to work with, the better its ability to find the ideal expressions.
- Good Lighting: Clear, well-lit photos provide the AI with better data to work with.
- Experiment: Don't be afraid to play around with the feature. Sometimes, a slightly different expression can change the entire feel of a photo.
Best Take is a fantastic tool for ensuring everyone looks their best in every shot, making it one of the Google Pixel tricks that truly helps you edit your photos in seconds.
