This app lets you take a profile photo with the background automatically removed. Useful for example for social media avatars and profile images. It detects your face and shows a crop frame. When you take the shot, it will automatically zoom the photo to the crop frame. Thus you can take profile shots of your whole football team, all with the same size and zoom. If your arms aren't long enough, enable the "smile to shoot" option, move away and smile when you are satisfied. Tap the photo to preview with different backgrounds, and finally save to your Photo Library. Note that the background is not saved with the photo; this is for viewing only. An iPhone with a depth capable camera is required.
