TL;DR

• Google’s updated Pixel screenshot editor, first tested as part of Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1, is now rolling out across stable channels.
• Android Authority spotted the new interface on multiple Google Pixel phones running the latest November 2025 update.
• The updated screenshot editor uses Pixel Studio, adding AI-powered editing and erasing while expanding markup and font options.

Google previewed an advanced screenshot editor with a touch of AI in the first Android 16 QPR2 beta build in August, which uses Pixel Studio smarts for marking up, erasing, and resizing screenshots. Android 16 QPR2 is expected to release for stable channels sometime in December, but ahead of that release, we’re seeing Pixel’s new screenshot editor roll out for phones running the stable November 2025 update. When the new interface reaches your device, the screenshot editor will open in the Pixel Studio app, adding a wider suite of markup and editing tools.

Android Authority spotted the new AI-powered screenshot editor on multiple Pixel phones running the stable November 2025 update. On our Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the new editor appeared on Android 16 build number BP3A.251105.015. The new editor also relies on an updated version of the Pixel Studio app. Users running version 2.0.001.793728176.12 or newer of the Pixel Studio app will see the revamped screenshot editor, while those still on an earlier release will see the old editor.
