FaceCropper is an open source library that utilizes the new iOS 11 Vision API to automatically find images within a photo from Taejun Kim
.
FaceCropper will automatically create new images containing each face found within a given image.
This snippet shows basic usage of FaceCropper:

switch result {
case .success(let faces):
// When the <code>Vision</code> successfully find faces, and <code>FaceCropper</code> cropped it.
// <code>faces</code> argument is a collection of cropped images.
case .notFound:
// When the image doesn't contain any face, <code>result</code> will be <code>.notFound</code>.
case .failure(let error):
// When the any error occured, <code>result</code> will be <code>failure</code>.
}
}
This image from the readme shows an image with faces extracted:
You can find FaceCropper on Github here.
A nice example of using the new vision API.
