About the Live Photo to Video Converter
Every iPhone Live Photo is secretly two files: a still image and a three-second video clip. That's wonderful on an iPhone and awkward everywhere else — the .MOV half won't autoplay in most chats, won't upload where videos are expected, and gets separated from its still the moment it leaves the Apple ecosystem. This converter fixes that: it turns the motion half of your Live Photo into a universally compatible MP4, or a GIF that plays anywhere, in seconds.
Unlike most online converters, nothing here is uploaded. The converter downloads a small video-processing engine into your browser (once), and your file is processed entirely on your own device. That makes it faster for small files, free for us to run — which is why there's no watermark or signup wall — and genuinely private, which matters when the clip is a personal moment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a Live Photo to a video?+
Export the Live Photo from your iPhone (AirDrop it to your computer, or share it from the Photos app) — you'll get two files: a .HEIC still and a .MOV clip. Upload the .MOV here, choose MP4 or GIF, and download the result. The conversion happens entirely in your browser.
Where is the video part of my Live Photo?+
A Live Photo is secretly two files: a still image (.HEIC or .JPG) and a ~3-second video (.MOV). When you AirDrop or export the Live Photo to a computer, both files arrive together with the same name. The .MOV is the part this converter needs.
Is this Live Photo converter really private?+
Yes — genuinely. The converter runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your Live Photo is never uploaded to our servers or anyone else's; you can even watch the network tab and see nothing leave your device.
Can I convert a Live Photo to a GIF instead of a video?+
Yes — switch the output to GIF before uploading. GIFs are ideal for messaging apps and forums that autoplay them, while MP4 keeps full quality and sound.
Does the iPhone have a built-in way to save a Live Photo as video?+
On the iPhone itself, yes: open the Live Photo, tap Share → Save as Video. This converter is for everywhere else — when the files are already on your computer, when you need a GIF, or when you want an MP4 that plays on any device without AirDrop round-trips.
Does it work with Android Motion Photos?+
Partially. Android Motion Photos embed the video inside the JPEG file. Export the video part first (Google Photos can save a Motion Photo as video), then convert it here to GIF or a universally compatible MP4.
Is there a watermark or a file limit?+
No watermark, no signup, and files up to 200MB — far beyond any Live Photo. It's free because it costs us nothing to run: your own browser does the work.
Can I turn a video back into a Live Photo?+
That direction requires generating Apple's paired photo+video format and importing it on-device, which browsers can't fully do. On iPhone, apps like intoLive handle it. For turning still photos into moving videos, try our AI Image Animator.
