- If you use an iPhone 15/15 Pro, convert an image to portrait mode by turning on the Portrait option on the photo.
- You can also change the depth of field and adjust the focus on a picture you want to convert to portrait mode.
- Third-party apps like Google Photos, ReLens Camera, and Phocus can do the same on older iPhones.
Add Portrait Mode to an Existing Photo on iPhone 15 Series
Both the A17 Pro and the A16 Bionic have a neural engine and an image-sensing processor that help run various machine-learning algorithms on photographs to produce a depth of field. You can add the bokeh and depth effect to any photograph and make it look like it was captured using the portrait mode.
However, note that you cannot convert every photograph into a portrait. To add the depth effect, there must be a clear subject that your iPhone can detect.
Step 1: Open the Photos app on your iPhone and select the photo you want to convert to portrait mode.
Step 2: Tap on the Live icon at the top right corner. If the Portrait Off option is checked, select Portrait .
There you go – you can see that the photo is converted to portrait mode.
Step 3: You can also tap on edit > select Portrait > move the slider to adjust the aperture and the depth effect.
Additionally, you can also shift the focus when you convert a photo to portrait mode on your iPhone 15.
If you don’t own an iPhone 15 , don’t worry. Here are three apps to help you do the same on an older iPhone.
3 Apps to Blur the Background of a Photo on an iPhone
The depth effect can be added to regular photos and make it look like it was taken in portrait mode on older iPhones using a few third-party apps.
1. Google Photos

2. Phocus: Portrait Mode Camera
Phocus is another free, third-party application for converting photos into portrait mode on your iPhone. The app’s Portrait tool allows you to add depth effects to pictures, and you can also use the slider to adjust the intensity.
Further, the app also provides many bokeh effects to enhance your picture. In conclusion, the results were fine, and the edge detection was surprisingly good for a third-party application.

3. ReLens Camera
ReLens Camera is another free app that lets you add depth effects to photos on your iPhone. We’re not sure to what extent these claims are true, but the app says it performs an AI analysis of depth information on photos to convert them to portrait mode. You can use the Aperture tab to produce and adjust the depth effect on photos. And we like the edge detection and the depth effect produced by the app.

- Be sure to print in portrait mode instead of landscape mode by updating the printing preference.
- Paper size selection is important and should match the size of the physical paper.
- Adding the printer back to Windows can resolve the issue that prevented the printer from using the proper orientation.
1. Change the Default Orientation on the Printer Properties
Step 1: Press the Windows + I keyboard shortcut to launch the Settings app.
Step 2: On the left pane, click Bluetooth & devices , and on the right, click Printers & scanners and select the printer you want to fix.
Step 3: Click Printing preferences to open the printer’s configuration window.
Step 4: Select Portrait from the Orientation drop-down list, then click Apply and OK .
2. Change Orientation in Page Setup
You can make specific changes to the application or document you want to print from. For example, if you are trying to print from Microsoft Word, change the page orientation before printing, which will reflect when you print the page.
Step 1: Click the Layout section in the Word document, expand Orientation , and select Portrait .
Step 2: Proceed to print the document. It should automatically choose the orientation based on the document layout.
3. Change Layout in Print Setup
If you cannot change the orientation from the app as you would on a word processor, switch to Portrait on the print setup page before printing the document, as shown below.
Step 1: Press the Control + P keyboard shortcut to initiate the print process. This should open the print setup page.
Step 2: Under the Layout section, select Portrait > Print .
4. Check for and Correct Page Size Mismatch
One reason your printer prints landscape instead of portrait is a page mismatch. That means the printer may expect A4 paper even though you have loaded A5 sheets.
Go to Print Setup > expand More settings > select a matching Paper size > click Print .
5. Confirm Network Printer Settings Are Not Overriding Local Settings
This solution will apply if you are connected to a network printer. If the network printer has a set of print preferences different from what you want, you may need to contact the administrator to resolve the issue. Alternatively, switch to a local printer to perform the print job.
6. Re-Add the Printer to Windows
You can fix this problem by removing the printer from your computer and re-adding it. This is a valid fix because when the computer is re-added, it comes with a default set of configurations, and any misconfiguration that caused the problem would be removed.
Step 1: Go to the Printers & scanners in the Windows Settings app.
Step 2: Select the problematic printer and click on Remove .
Step 3: Restart the computer and return to Printers & scanners .
Step 4: Click Add Device and follow the wizard to complete the process. The issue should be resolved.
7. Factory Reset the Printer
If your printer keeps printing sideways or landscape, resetting it to factory settings can resolve the problem. A factory reset reconfigures all printer settings and restores them to default. The procedures for performing a factory reset vary depending on the printer brand. For instructions on properly executing this operation on your printer, consult your user manual.
