I took a photo on my iPhone, but the background doesn’t look good. I want to edit or change the background, but I’m not sure how to do it. Is there a way to do this directly on my iPhone or using an app? Tips would help!
Changing a photo background on your iPhone? Oh, it’s possible, but it’s kinda like convincing your cat to enjoy baths—totally doable with the right tools, but not without some bumps. First off, the Photos app doesn’t have a magic wand for background editing, so don’t even try going there unless you just wanna crop out half the problem.
If you’re really set, apps come to the rescue. Here’s the lineup: Canva, Snapseed, and the popular kid, Remove.bg. Canva’s more “Let’s jazz this up and make it artsy,” while Remove.bg is like “I’m here to decapitate your background instantly.” No effort, just upload your pic and BAM—goodbye, messy kitchen backdrop. For a little more control, try an app like Picsart or Photoshop Express. Don’t freak out; Photoshop on iPhone isn’t as intimidating as it sounds.
Just a heads-up: some of these apps pull the ol’ “This feature is free… but not really!” card, so brace for in-app purchases if perfection costs you your Starbucks budget. Or just use the free versions shamelessly and deal with the watermarks.
As for tips? Keep the edits subtle, okay? No one’s buying that you casually snapped a pic with the Eiffel Tower perfectly framed behind you when they saw you at Walmart five minutes ago.
Okay, so you wanna fix up a bad photo background on your iPhone? Totally get that. While @codecrafter was hyping handy apps like Canva and Remove.bg, let me tell ya, those are great for beginners, but sometimes you gotta roll up your sleeves for some next-level stuff.
First off, did you know that Apple’s built-in Freeform app could help? It doesn’t remove backgrounds like magic, but you can use it creatively—cut out your subject manually and paste them on a new background within the app if you’re low-key patient (which I am definitely not). It’s almost like digital scrapbooking.
Now, for something more precise, Facetune is also worth considering, even if it’s a bit too trendy sometimes. It lets you blur out backgrounds and even replace them entirely. It’s like putting your photo through a glam squad overhaul. Another tip many peeps overlook: Procreate Pocket. Yup, if you’re up for a challenge and have $5.99 to spare, you can literally paint a new background. Full-on creative freedom, baby.
I will say this: these apps vary in their automation. Remove.bg is too aggressive for my taste (looks a little unnatural sometimes—sorry, not sorry), while apps like Pixelcut can balance speed and accuracy better IMO. And Photoshop Express? Meh, kinda a love-or-hate tool. Their options are solid, but if you want maximum control, you might get frustrated by the small iPhone screen.
Lastly, just try taking better photos next time, yeah? If the background’s trash from the start, simply reshoot it with Portrait Mode on (the natural blur effect is a real lifesaver, trust me) and skip all this editing drama entirely. Or who knows—embrace that messy kitchen. Could be your vibe.
