About LayerLift: Text behind photo
Make every photo a cover story. LayerLift tucks your text behind the person, pet, or object in your photo — the layered look magazine covers and album art have used for decades. It reads as depth, not as a sticker slapped on top. Open a photo and LayerLift separates your subject from the background on device, in a moment. Type your headline, and it slides into the gap between them. Drag it, scale it, recolor it. What you get back looks composed, not filtered. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a photo — or tap the sample and see the effect before you commit • Your subject is lifted from the background automatically • Add text on either plane: behind the subject for depth, or in front for a caption • Position freely, with alignment guides and center snapping • Save to your photo library or share straight to anywhere BUILT FOR THE DETAILS • Typefaces that range from clean and legible to loud and decorative • Full control over color, size, alignment, and layer order • Crop to the aspect ratio you're posting in — square, portrait, story, or the original frame • Blur the background so your subject and your words stay sharp • Drop the background out entirely for a clean cutout • Refine the cutout by hand with a brush when a wisp of hair needs help — with undo, redo, and reset • Your last-used styling comes back the next time you open the app PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every photo stays on your iPhone. Subject detection runs on device using Apple's Vision framework. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and there is no sign-up between you and your first image. FREE AND PRO LayerLift is free to use, and the free tier is a real one: photo picking, subject detection, text on both planes, the everyday typefaces, aspect ratios, and saving or sharing your work with no watermark. LayerLift Pro unlocks the display typefaces, background blur and background removal, brush-based mask editing, and export at your photo's full resolution. Pro is available as a weekly, monthly, or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Privacy Policy: https://nightlybuildgroup.com/en/privacy/apps Terms of Service: https://nightlybuildgroup.com/en/terms
