There are many editing tools that you have probably used before. Trim, fix red eyes, add filters, etc. Changing the perspective of a photo is not so common, but it's not as difficult as it seems either, thanks to Google Photos.
Perspective describes the angle at which the photo was taken. This can greatly affect how something looks in a photo.. Check out the photos below. The shape of the TV looks like a trapezoid from the side (left), but I can make it a flat rectangle by adjusting the perspective (right).
To adjust that perspective of your photos, we will use the Google Photos application to Android, but the Google Photos application is also enabled in iPhone and iPad. It is surprisingly simple for such a powerful tool.

First, open the Google Photos app and select a photo that needs to adjust the perspective.
Next, touch the icon “Edit” below the photo.
Go to tools “Trim” in the toolbar and select the keystone perspective icon.
You can now drag the four corners of a box to choose the part of the image you would like to flatten. A bubble will appear when you select a corner to give it an enlarged appearance. When you're done, touches “Ready”.
That part of the photo will be flattened and cropped. If you are satisfied with the result, touch the button “Keep”.
That is all! This is a pretty nifty tool and it's not something you regularly see in simple, free photo editing apps.. Google Photos has a lot to offer even if you're not using it for cloud backups. This is just one example of how powerful it is..
