How to cut subjects from images using Image Clipper
Technically, Image Clipper utilizes machine learning or AI to detect subjects that can be generated out from images. Hence, it works more effectively for images with a clearly contrasting subject. Here’s how to cut subjects from static images using Image Clipper:
Open the Gallery app.
Choose which image of the subject you want to cut.
Long press on the subject you want to cut.
Wait until it finishes highlighting and when the menu pops up.
You can Copy, Share, Save as sticker or image, or Edit the image.
With the edit action, you can fine-tune the clipped subject by selecting or removing parts as well as reshaping it and adding effects. You can also do the basic edit features when copying the cut image into a photo, which we’ll discuss below.

How to cut subjects from videos using Image Clipper
Similar to the iPhones, you can also remove a subject or object from a video clip on a Galaxy device. You just need to pause the video at a period where a clear subject is more visible before selecting the subject area. Bear in mind that this only works with videos on your gallery app—at least we didn’t manage to make it work in a YouTube video.
Open the Gallery app.
Choose a video and pause on the clip.
Long press on the subject you want to cut.
Wait until the subject is highlighted and when the menu pops up.
Copy, share, or save the clipped image.

Alternatively, you can take a screenshot when playing a video and use the saved image to cut the required subject out. At the same time, these newly generated images can be shared or copied with others. But come on, it’s much better to use this feature natively on a video record on your gallery.
How to copy clipped subjects into another image
In the latest One UI update, Samsung added a new feature to copy clipped subjects into another image or photo within your gallery. This is basically a straightforward process, follow the instructions below.
Press Copy after finishing clipping a subject.

Long press in the background of the image until the Paste action pops up.
Tap Paste to copy the clipped subject.
