AI photo editing in iOS 27: revamped Clean Up and two new AI tools for iPhone Photos app

Apple today announced a significant upgrade to the editing features available in Apple Photos on iPhone, Mac and Vision Pro.

Powered by new artificial intelligence models, Apple announced a significant improvement to Clean Up as well as new Extend and Reframe tools. These features will be available with iOS 27 and other software updates later this year.

It seems that all of these image editing features are now powered by a combination of on-device and cloud models, rather than just on device. This means

Clean Up has been upgraded to be powered by smarter AI models, so it can do object removal on much more complex scenes.

Extend is a brand new tool that lets users generate content around the borders of an existing image.

And Reframe lets users change a photo’s angle or zoom out. Choose a new angle using multi-touch gestures, and then when you press Save, the phone sends the image to a cloud server for processing.
