Here's how to stabilize shaky videos in Google Photos

There is a decent possibility that a video will become shaky while being recorded for various reasons. An unsteady surface, movement of the person taking the video, or simply unstable hands can all result in a shaky video.

It isn’t very pleasant for people when their videos are not up to their expectations. But thanks to Google Photos, you get an amazing built-in video stabilization feature that works like magic.

This article will guide you on how you can stabilize shaky videos with Google Photos in just a few clicks, which will surely make your video look professional and pleasant to the eye.

Note: This method is valid for Android and iOS users.

If you have accidentally ruined the moment by capturing a shaky video, then don’t worry. In today’s era of AI and deep fakes, videos can be easily stabilized to a certain level using software tricks.

However, the issue with stabilizing software is that they can be quite expensive. On the other hand, Google Photos offers this feature for free on Android and iOS devices.
