How To Remove Background From iPhone Photos - iPhone Photo Cutout

[@MrWeusi]

Bro, I’ve been researching this for hours and I just came across your video and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much.

[@DHTV]

Thats great to hear, so glad I could help!

[@TroyFortune_33]

Saw the start of your comment. Knew I was winning. Only watch 1.40 of this video and wrote this. Was my first video that popped up in my search

[@Annalorraine2x]

I hope you’re still taking questions. My question is it’s selecting most of the item but sometimes it misses important parts. How can you spread out the selection? Hopefully, I said it right thank you.

TYSM IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR YEARS I CANT IMAGINE WHAT ID DO WHEN I EDIT MY PHOTOS. ITS BEEN SUCH A STRUGGLE TRYING TO DO THIS WITHOUT DRAGGING IT IM SO HAPY IM NEVER GONNA FORGET THIS OMG TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY ( i might have over exaggerated but ty)

[@kimjaime1141]

Good night! Great Scott! Holy cow!!! I even purchased a photo editing program and i didnt have to! Should I use more exclamation points?! Thank you- really this was exactly what I needed.

[@DHTV]

I’m so glad my video was able to help!!!

[@andreareid3695]

This is fantastic. One quick question, my background is still showing black and not white once i remove photo. What am I doing wrong?

[@drakelord0721]

I just found a solution, you can upload the photo on canva from your phone and later download it from there to your PC and the background won't show

[@jesusvazquez326]

How do you COPY AND paste with a different background??!

[@motivated2connect]

Did you find out?

[@stephaniesmullen6012]

Thank you. This was great. Is there a way to make the background black instead of white?

[@DHTV]

Glad to help! Not that I know of unless you find an app in the App Store that offers a feature like that.

[@MarkySerenada]

So very helpful! I had a great head shot on a bus but didn't want the back of the seat and folks behind me in the shot. This worked GREAT, thanks again!

[@alexistrebexis3195]

Ok, but all I wanna know is how to transfer a cutout from one photo, into another photo?

[@DHTV]

You can’t place it on another photo with the photos app. You might be able to find an app in the App Store that has that option.

[@KensPOV]

I used this photo collage app that I already had on my phone. That app has an option where I can place pics on different backgrounds. So I took a screenshot of the pic I wanted to use and placed it in the photo collage app. I then lifted and drug the subject and placed it on the pic I placed in the collage app. Just make sure you have a solid background that isn’t black or white, otherwise the subject you lift with have white lines surrounding it. If you’re wanting to place it on a black/white background, place what you lifted on a diff color background first, then change the background color within pic collage app. Wish there was a way for me to show how I do it because I’m horrible at explaining things at times

[@qamp749]

​@@KensPOVcan you make a video and put in on your channel queen

[@kingkybangz527]

Tap and hold what you’re cutting out from the first photo and save it as a sticker. Open the other photo, tap edit in the top right, then tap the marker icon which should be right where the edit button was, and on the bottom right you’ll see a plus + icon, tap that and then tap “add sticker”. Choose the sticker from your first photo and you can place it wherever you like, use two fingers to make it bigger, smaller, or rotate. Hope that helps!

[@ChristineNossoughi-fm5lu]

I have an iPhone 8 Plus. Updates to iso 16.4 but i cannot get this feature to work

[@DHTV]

Unfortunately the iPhone 8 didn’t get this feature.

[@The_Best_Boxing_News]

Why can’t you copy or paste anymore? It isn’t working on any of my devices?

[@realtorchristinethares]

Love the video but I am trying to place a puppy on a sofa. Not having success with a phot of a puppy from stock images.

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

What is I want to change the background to what I pull out odd the photo. Is that possible

[@sandilynn8010]

It seems when I create the white background the picture gets bigger. How would I prevent that? You explained things so well. Thank you

[@DHTV]

Hmm, I don’t notice it getting bigger?

[@misterlaslo]

thanks so much! it seems do work easily for some photos, but other phots that seem to have the same elements, it won't work at all.... do you know what i'm doing wrong? thank you

[@8372190]

Very well explained., thanks! Is it possible to paste unto another photo? I’ve tried to no avail…

[@DHTV]

Thanks glad it was useful. Unfortunately I don’t think so. I haven’t been able to find anything on this.

[@stacyellis135]

For EBay will the background show black? In the sample shown it was black. Or will it show up white?

[@MagicalMikhail]

Can anybody help... what If I did this and pasted the same photos w/o background onto the original photo and it saved over it. how do I undo/revert if it's nolonger in photos app and only in the file manager...

[@CeeJayKay]

At video footage 1:14 after you got the image to move under your finger tip, there is a bar with “Copy” etc written in it. When I do this I don’t get that bar with “copy” etc. What do I need to do to fix that?

[@DHTV]

Once you get the image to move, just let it go and then single tap on it. You will get those options.

[@TeeGeeBee83]

I had NO IDEA how to use this feature!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

[@jesuslovesyou7813]

Just what I needed. Thank you!

[@johntaglia9378]

That was great, but every time I do it, I get that white & gray checkerboard background behind the subject I moved. What am I doing wrong? Thanks once again. I'm 76 & I woke up one day & the world has changed.

[@DHTV]

Thanks glad I was able to help you remove the background. The grey white checkerboard background is what is used to signify transparency or no background by most in the graphic design world. It’s much better now that it shows this rather than the black and white background.

[@DJE-motion]

Great video! This is only working on some of my photos. Also, it'll work on a photo, then I try it again on the same photo and it won't work. Weird.

[@DHTV]

It’s just tedious to make it happen. You will get used to it over time.

[@janetschlicht6984]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful. is it possible to copy and paste an image onto a different background in another photo using this technique? For example if I want to isolate a person and move it to a floral background in another photo, if that makes sense?

[@DHTV]

Glad the video helped. As for pasting it on another image or background, you can’t with the photos app but there may be apps in the App Store that will allow. I have had this question asked to me a few times, I will look into it and make a video with a solution. Be sure to check back or subscribe for that video.

[@jbag4289]

Hello is it possible to transfer the cutout to another photo (as background)? thanks

[@DHTV]

Unfortunately not with the photos app. Maybe if you download another app that allows that?

[@Nina-h1f8g]

Incredibly frustrating. I think it’s me cuz I’ve watched several videos on how to make a white background and it’s simply not working. I think it’s because I’m watching old videos. 4y+ and technology has changed. But thanks for your help. On to the next video

[@DHTV]

It’s an illusion. Basically when you pull an image out of a photo, it gets a transparent background. Because we can’t see through the iPhone, the background appears white if your iPhone is in light mode and black when it is dark mode. It’s hard to explain and i didn’t realize this myself when I made the video.

[@ItsmeeKyyy]

Is it only applicable on ios 16? cuz currently I updated mine into ios 16.5 and it doesnt work at all. Maybe u can give me some advice? btw im using iphone X

[@DHTV]

It does work on all the new versions of iOS including iOS 17. Same steps just be careful of cluttered photos. If there is to much around or touching the subject it is hard for it to grab. Also make sure to open the photo, tap on it once to see the black borders appear then tap and drag. It’s tedious at times but works.

[@evadiaz-devillier1470]

Hi! Works great but, what if you need a white background not, black?

[@DHTV]

It is white when you send or use it but for some reason it shows up black on the preview. It’s very odd.

I tap on the photo and get the outline flash. then i tap copy. When i go to message app and hit paste- the image has the head cut off. I've tried this with several size images and always get just the middle section of the image. THEN, even worse, I can't get this ridiculous image to delete from the message. Hoe you can help. have iPhone 13 with 16.2 . Thanks!

[@DHTV]

The best option if you are having this issue is to just drag it over to an album and see if it cuts it out correctly before you send it in a message. If there is too much going on on the screen the cutout has trouble.

[@Preus-by8ru]

Is there a way to paste these cut out images into other photos❓

[@DHTV]

Not using the iPhone photos app. You might be able to with an app in the App Store.

[@BurningDesire_letsgo]

Great video, and out of curiosity can the background be replaced with let’s say a green color or anything else? Thank you

[@DHTV]

Not with this option but once it’s white, you could potentially use another app that has paint or draw features to fill it in. You would just have to search the App Store.

[@jlee4834]

You could use an app called “Tico!” to do this.

Very cool feature. BUT it did not work with LIve turned on. Must be off before it would find the subject. I also found problems with panoramic and possibly other features. A normal picture works just fine. I was hoping to drop the captured image into another picture but I could not make it work, yet. FYI - IOS 16.0.3 on 14 Pro.

[@DHTV]

It works with live it's just hard to get it to grab the subject. I think the issue isn't with the specifice type of photo like pano or other options but more of what is in the photo. If it's too populated it seems to have trouble.

[@DHTV]

You believe it works on the iPhone 13. The subjects need to be generally the main feature of the photo. If they are too crowded or blurry it won’t work. There isn’t a trick it’s just not the easiest thing to do. I would test it with a photo that had live off.

[@Theblue3lmokid]

TYSM THIS IS SO HELPFUL

[@Nick_Red]

I’m still not happy with the iOS options and choices.. in androids you can do much more interesting things with your gallery photos. For example you can erase some props from a photo or you can paste another photo on the existing photo.. But in iPhone you can’t do either! Only if you pay subscription into an app from Apple Store

[@DHTV]

Yep that’s part of the game probably. Apple could easily do this and maybe will in the future but in the end they get a cut from app purchases so leaving little things out for others to sell is one way to make a buck. I don’t see why they wouldn’t have things like this by now.
