Add Portrait Mode to an Existing Photo on iPhone 15 Series

Both the A17 Pro and the A16 Bionic have a neural engine and an image-sensing processor that help run various machine-learning algorithms on photographs to produce a depth of field. You can add the bokeh and depth effect to any photograph and make it look like it was captured using the portrait mode.

However, note that you cannot convert every photograph into a portrait. To add the depth effect, there must be a clear subject that your iPhone can detect.

Step 1:Open thePhotos appon your iPhone and select thephotoyou want to convert to portrait mode.

Step 2:Tap on theLive iconat the top right corner. If the Portrait Off option is checked, selectPortrait.

There you go – you can see that the photo is converted to portrait mode.

Step 3:You can also tap onedit> selectPortrait> move thesliderto adjust the aperture and the depth effect.

Additionally, you can also shift the focus when you convert a photo to portrait mode on your iPhone 15.

If you don’t own aniPhone 15, don’t worry. Here are three apps to help you do the same on an older iPhone.

3 Apps to Blur the Background of a Photo on an iPhone

The depth effect can be added to regular photos and make it look like it was taken in portrait mode on older iPhones using a few third-party apps.

1. Google Photos

Google Photoshas one of the best sets of features for editing photos on your smartphone. However, you must subscribe to Google One to use many of these features, including the one that lets you convert images to portrait mode.

Once you subscribe to Google One, you can use the Blur tool on photos and adjust the level accordingly to produce the depth effect on your photos. In our opinion, it is the closest to the default portrait mode on the iPhone.

2. Phocus: Portrait Mode Camera

Phocus is another free, third-party application for converting photos into portrait mode on your iPhone. The app’s Portrait tool allows you to add depth effects to pictures, and you can also use the slider to adjust the intensity.

Further, the app also provides many bokeh effects to enhance your picture. In conclusion, the results were fine, and the edge detection was surprisingly good for a third-party application.

3. ReLens Camera

ReLens Camera is another free app that lets you add depth effects to photos on your iPhone. We’re not sure to what extent these claims are true, but the app says it performs an AI analysis of depth information on photos to convert them to portrait mode. You can use the Aperture tab to produce and adjust the depth effect on photos. And we like the edge detection and the depth effect produced by the app.
