LivePhoto.video is a web-based platform for converting and editing Apple Live Photos, enabling users to transform videos, GIFs, and static images into interactive Live Photos, dynamic wallpapers, and shareable GIFs directly from a browser.
What is LivePhoto.video?
LivePhoto.video is an online tool that converts standard video files, animated GIFs, and still images into Apple's Live Photo format (a 1.5-second video with audio captured before and after a photo). It also performs reverse conversions—Live Photos to GIFs or videos—and applies AI motion effects to static images. The platform is web-based but requires the free iOS app to download final Live Photos to an iPhone camera roll due to Apple's proprietary format limitations.

How does it work?
Upload a video, GIF, or image to the appropriate tool on the website. Adjust duration, quality, and cropping settings as needed, then click convert. For true Live Photo format, the web tool generates a file that must be opened using the LivePhoto.video iOS app—the app then downloads the Live Photo directly to the iPhone camera roll. Other formats (GIF, video) can be downloaded directly from the browser.
