Apple unveiled a suite of AI‑driven image tools for iOS 27 at WWDC 2026. The new Spatial Reframing lets users shift a photo’s perspective after capture, while a fresh Extend tool adds content beyond an image’s edges. Existing Clean Up receives a quality boost, offering more realistic infill.

Spatial Reframing works on any photo, not just spatial ones, and users drag to find the best angle. The Extend feature stitches AI‑generated pixels to the frame’s borders, enabling seamless background expansions. Clean Up now produces denser, more natural textures when removing unwanted elements, improving the overall visual fidelity of edited shots.

Image Playground, Apple’s earlier AI image generator, now produces photorealistic outputs after a major overhaul. Users can generate multi‑person scenes from their library, edit results by circling objects, and describe changes in plain language. The app also offers portrait, landscape, square, and wallpaper orientations, expanding creative control across devices.

These updates cement Apple’s push into consumer AI, giving photographers instant, on‑device editing power. By eliminating cloud dependency, the company enhances privacy while delivering professional‑grade tools. The move positions iOS 27 as the first platform to combine deep learning with native photo editing at scale.
