Two ways to remove background from iPhone photos
Option A: Use BGSnip on the web
This is the simplest option when you want a transparent PNG you can reuse across sites, documents, and design tools.
Option B: Use the iPhone cutout feature (when available)
Apple supports a “lift subject” / photo cutout feature in iOS that isolates a subject from the background in supported apps.
That can be handy for quick sharing, but web exports are often easier when you need clean PNG files for business use.

Photo setup tips for cleaner results
Lighting first, always
Even lighting reduces shadows, and shadows cause rough cutouts. Window light works well if it’s not direct harsh sun.
Create separation between subject and background
Move the subject away from the wall. That reduces heavy shadow edges and improves outline detection.
Keep the subject large in frame
Tiny subjects in wide shots create noisy edges. A tighter crop improves cut quality.
Troubleshooting: common issues and fixes
Shadows are being kept as part of the subject
Softer lighting fixes this fast. Retake the photo with the light in front of the subject, not behind.
The background color matches the subject
Change backgrounds or change angles. A plain wall with contrast helps.
The subject looks blurry after removal
Clean the lens, tap to focus, and retake the photo. Sharp input is the difference between “clean PNG” and “fuzzy edge.”
The transparent PNG turns into a white box in another app
Some apps flatten images during import. Confirm the file is PNG, then insert it as an image element (not as a background).
