How to convert a Live Photo to a GIF
- 1
Choose a Live Photo
Drop a .livp package or the still and movie together. A Live Photo to GIF conversion only needs the movie half.
- 2
Set the frame rate and size
Pick 8, 12 or 15 frames per second and a width. Smaller and slower makes a smaller file; the default is a good compromise for chat.
- 3
Download the GIF
Save the file and paste it anywhere that takes an image. It loops forever and needs no player.
Why convert a Live Photo to GIF
A Live Photo to GIF that plays everywhere
Chat apps, forums, issue trackers and email clients all render a GIF. Nothing else you can export from a Live Photo is that widely accepted.
The encoding happens on your device
The GIF encoder is part of this page rather than a service. Your Live Photo is never uploaded, which matters when the clip is of your family.
You choose the trade-off
Frame rate and width are yours to set, so you can keep a GIF small enough for a chat limit or large enough to read.
No watermark and no sign-up
The GIF comes out clean, there is nothing to install, and you can use the daily free allowance without creating an account.

Live Photo to GIF FAQ
You get 3 free conversions a day without an account, or 10 when signed in. The encoder still runs locally in your browser.
GIF has a 256-colour palette and no inter-frame compression worth the name, so it is always larger and flatter than the movie it came from. That is the format, not the conversion.
No. GIF has no audio track, so a Live Photo to GIF conversion drops the sound. Use the video export if you need it.
Drop the frame rate to 8 fps and the width to the smallest setting that still reads clearly. Those two settings drive the file size almost entirely.
No. You need the Live Photo files, and after that any computer will do the conversion.
