Live Photo to GIF

How to convert a Live Photo to a GIF

1. 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. 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. 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

  Free visitors get 5 single conversions per day and one full batch trial in this browser, without an account. Membership unlocks unlimited conversions and batches, with no ads.
