Cut out a portrait
Isolate a person or object from your photo so just the subject prints on the case — four ways to do it.
Sometimes you want just the subject without anything around it. The app has four tools for that.
The four cutout tools
Tap your image, then the wand in the image toolbar. You'll see:
AutoCutout. Tries to identify and isolate the main subject from any photo. Works on people, pets, products, food. Quick first try.
Portrait Cutout. Tuned specifically for people. Needs a clear human head in the frame to work. The result usually beats AutoCutout when the subject is a person.
Remove Background. Drops everything behind the subject. Similar to AutoCutout, with sharper edges — reach for this when you want a tighter crop around the subject.
Remove Color. Erases one specific color from the image. Use this on photos with a flat-color backdrop (a green-screen shot, a white-wall portrait) when you want surgical control over what gets dropped.
Setting up a good cutout
Three things make any cutout cleaner:
- High contrast between subject and background. Person on a sky, on a plain wall, on a solid color floor.
- Sharp focus on the subject. A crisp source photo gives the AI clean edges to work with.
- One main subject. When several people are clustered together, the AI does best if you pick a photo where one person is clearly the focus.
Each tool takes a few seconds — you'll see "Generating, please wait…" while it runs.
After the cutout
Once the subject is isolated, you can:
- Layer it over a Background color or pattern
- Add a Frame around it
- Stylize it with AI Cartoon for a sticker-style print
