With the improved Visual Look Up feature in the iOS 16 update that enables photo cropping, you can extract a subject from a photo and then turn it into a sticker. It’s an incredible feature that gives even the most novice of users the incredible ability to create a custom sticker, of friends, family, or just anyone or anything.

iOS 16 brought numerous changes to Visual Look Up and one of them is the ability to extract subjects from any image. This feature takes away the hassle of manually cutting out your subject from the background, which used to take hours. While you can automate this process to some extent using modern tools, the ability to extract a subject is a game changer.

You can use the new Visual Look Up feature to simply tap and lift subjects from an image in seconds. And what do you do with your lifted subjects? You can of course create stickers and share them with your friends and family! Here's how to get started with this process.
