You can also use the “Auto” cutout feature where PicCollage will automatically create a cutout from your photo. And it doesn’t just work on people or animals! Any photo with a clear subject will work with the “Auto” feature!
Edit your cutout
But let’s say you create your cutout and realize that you want to edit a small part of it. With our add/erase tool, you can make small changes to your cutouts without having to start from scratch. Just long press on the cutout and then tap on the pencil icon to make little tweaks to get your cutout to look exactly how you want it to.
