Apple's Photos App Is Getting Three New AI-Powered Editing Tools
Apple says Cleanup, Extend and Reframe will use generative AI to remove objects, widen scenes and shift subjects in Photos.
At the Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, Apple unveiled three new AI-powered photo editing tools for the Apple Photos app, arriving later this year with iOS 27.
Apple Intelligence powers these capabilities, which expand the existing Clean Up tool introduced in iOS 18.1; the updated version removes objects more accurately by automatically filling in surrounding backgrounds.
The new Extend tool allows users to digitally "pull back" from a photo to fill in missing information, while Reframe lets users adjust perspective within a spatially generated digital space.
These tools reduce pressure for perfect composition by allowing users to alter images after capture; interested users can test features now through the iOS 27 developer beta on secondary devices.
By integrating these AI-driven manipulations, Apple aims to make photography feel less permanent; features currently support only the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and the iPhone 16 and 17 lineups.
Apple Intelligence adds intelligent editing in Photos with spatial recomposition, extended backgrounds and advanced erasing to achieve near-professional results.
