  • Photo file types: JPG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PNG
  • Video file types: 3GP, AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, MTS, M2TS
• For files uploaded to Google Photos, there is a 'delay' time which if the clip has not been fully processed and is used will result in a lower quality image. Google Photos will require some time to fully process uploaded videos. Longer videos will take more time to completely process and analyze.
