How To Lift A Subject From An Image On iPhone

Lift subject from background

On iPhones running iOS 16 or later users have access to an amazing new feature that enables them to lift a subject from an image. Users can lift subjects from any image stored on their iPhone’s Photos library and drop it anywhere they like.

The ability to lift subject from a background is not limited to the Photos app, as you can also take advantage of this feature in screenshots, Quick Look, Safari and other apps.

How lifting subjects from background works is pretty simple yet amazing. iOS lifts the subject from image by isolating it and removing it from the background.

This whole process is similar to how you can remove the background from a subject in Photoshop using the Magic Wand Tool. While that requires quite a bit of skill and time with Photoshop on iOS it is as easy as tapping your finger on the screen.

Step 1. Open Photos or any other app where this feature works and load up the image you want to lift subject from background.

Step 2. Once the image is loaded tap and hold on the subject that you want to remove background off.
