  • Remove background

    Free · 3 a day

    Brush over tourists, wires or text you don’t want. Snip finds objects and text in the photo right on your iPhone so you can select them in a tap, then erases them on our server.

  • Enhance and unblur

    PRO

    Sharpen soft or blurry photos and increase resolution up to about 4096 px. Works best on slightly soft shots; heavy motion blur can’t be fully fixed.

  • Templates and graphic editor

    PRO

    Start from social media templates, cut and paste objects between photos, add text and shapes, and adjust shadow, blur and filters.

  • Batch mode

    PRO

    Remove backgrounds from up to 10 photos at once — handy for product listings on Amazon, Etsy or Shopify.

  • Camera

    Take a photo right in Snip and cut out the subject straight away.

Clean Up isn’t on your iPhone?

Apple’s Clean Up tool in the Photos app needs Apple Intelligence, which runs only on iPhone 15 Pro and newer models. On older iPhones the tool simply isn’t there.

Snip erases people and objects on any iPhone or iPad with iOS 15.0 or later. Brush over what you want gone, or tap an object Snip has already found, and the background is filled in.

Snip on iPad

The same app runs on iPad with iPadOS 15.0 or later, with the same tools and the same subscription. On iPad, Snip uses the iPhone layout, and Split View isn’t supported yet.

How your photos are processed

Background removal, the eraser and the enhancer run on our server: Snip uploads the photo, processes it and sends the result back. That’s why the iPhone and iPad app needs an internet connection. Finding objects and text for the eraser happens on your device.

Details are in the privacy policy. If you want photos to stay on your device, Snip for Mac processes everything locally.

Free to start

Snip is free to download with 3 background removals a day. PRO is $9.99 a month or $19.99 a year in the US App Store, and it also works on Mac.

Is Snip free on iPhone?

Yes. Background removal is free for 3 photos every day. Erasing objects, enhancing photos and batch mode are part of PRO.

Does Snip for iPhone work offline?

No. The iPhone and iPad app processes photos on our server, so it needs an internet connection. If you need offline processing, Snip for Mac runs entirely on your Mac.

Why can’t I use Clean Up on my iPhone?

Can I use my subscription on Mac?
