How To Pull the Subject From a Photo in Safari on Your iPhone or iPad

This feature makes it easy to lift the subject from a photo in Safari and paste it wherever you like.

Despite all of the new features iOS 17 and iOS 18 have brought to the table, iOS 16 still stands tall as one of the most jam-packed releases ever, with features you probably still interact with daily.

iOS 16 introduced some bangers: the revamped lockscreen, editing and unsending messages, live activities and more. One sleeper feature was an upgrade to iOS 15’s Visual Lookup, which would identify subjects in your photos and allow you to pull them out and share them, background-free.

iOS 16 expanded on Visual Lookup by allowing you to pull the subjects from photos from websites — as long as you were using Safari. If you were unaware that you could do this or just need a refresher, we’re going to lay it all out for you below.

For more, don’t miss the latest in iOS 18.4.

How to clip images in Safari on iOS or iPad OS

In the Safari web browser on your iPhone or iPad, find any image and press your finger down on it for about a second. The image should isolate under your finger, and a quick action menu will appear, with various options. Now, the one you want to use is Copy Subject, which will copy the subject of the photo to your clipboard.

Unfortunately, you can’t control which subject is selected, so choose a photo with a clearly differentiated subject and background. (In the photo above, I chose to use this feature with a skateboarder in the forefront.)

After you press Copy Subject, you can go into a message and paste in the clipped subject to share it with someone else. You can also drop it into a saved note to keep the clipped subject for yourself. The clipping won’t always be perfect, so as mentioned, select an image with a large and obvious subject, and preferably an image with a uniform background.
