OpenClick the upload area or drag a video file into it. The converter opens a preview so you can check that your clip plays smoothly before conversion.
Scrub through the preview and find a short section with a clear subject. The strongest Live Photo results come from brief, focused motion without camera shake.
Use the sliders to pick your segment. Aim for one to three seconds — this feels most natural when the Live Photo plays back on your device.
Click convert. The tool captures a JPEG poster frame, trims your motion clip, and packages everything into a downloadable Live Photo — all processed locally.
Download your Live Photo and open it in Apple Photos, Google Photos, or another motion-photo-aware app. Unsupported viewers may display only the still image.
Select a file and preview the motion directly in your browser before you convert — no upload needed at any step.
Set a start and end point to pick the exact moment. Short, clean clips make the best Live Photos.
Video trimming and packaging run locally in your browser — your video never leaves your device.
Convert from MP4, MOV, WebM, and other playable formats. Your browser determines which source videos are supported.
Every part of this converter is designed for one job: turning your video clips into Live Photos with embedded motion.
Export a single Motion Photo JPEG or an Apple-compatible JPG + MOV pair in a ZIP — choose what works for your device.
A video to Live Photo converter turns a short video clip into a Live Photo — a still image with embedded motion. The output combines a JPEG poster frame with a motion segment and metadata, so compatible apps animate the photo while standard viewers show a normal still image.
Yes. This converter runs entirely in your browser. Your video is loaded from your device for preview, trimming, and Live Photo assembly — nothing is uploaded or stored on any server.
For best Apple Photos compatibility, choose the Apple pair (ZIP) output and import both the JPG and MOV files. The single Motion Photo JPEG works well in Google Photos and many Android galleries. Compatibility depends on the app and iOS version — we recommend testing after export.
MP4 and MOV are the most reliable source formats. WebM and other formats may also work if your browser supports them for preview and decoding.
For the most natural Live Photo result, keep the motion short. One to three seconds is ideal — enough to capture the moment without feeling like a full video.
Yes. Open this converter in any modern browser on mobile or desktop, preview supported formats, and export a Live Photo. Export performance and recognition may vary by browser, OS, and the app used to open the file.
A Live Photo needs to look good both as a still image and as motion. The tool captures a poster frame from your chosen start point. Pick a moment where the subject is sharp and well-framed.
Not always. The file follows a motion-photo structural format, but some apps may display only the still image or strip embedded motion when sharing or recompressing. Keep the original exported file as your master copy.
Yes — conversion runs in your browser at no charge. Free downloads include a small logo. Remove it for $2.99 and keep clean exports on this converter and our other browser tools for 24 hours. Lite/Pro subscribers already get clean downloads.
