Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Video to Live Photo converter work?

The converter runs in your browser. You choose a source clip, the file is processed on your device, and you download an iPhone-ready result (MOV + JPEG keyframe) without uploading the video to our server.

Is the converter free and watermark-free?

Yes. All conversion tools on XWallpaperHub are free to use and export without a watermark.

Why does my converted file not animate on iPhone?

The most common causes are: (1) not enabling the Live toggle on the wallpaper preview, (2) having Reduce Motion enabled in Settings → Accessibility → Motion, (3) Low Power Mode, or (4) starting with a clip that is too long. Try a shorter clip under 3 seconds.

What is a Live Photo vs Live Wallpaper?

A Live Photo is a motion photo that lives in your Photos app and can be set as wallpaper. A Live Wallpaper is specifically optimized for the lock screen. Both animate when you press-and-hold the Lock Screen.

How do I set a Live Photo as my iPhone wallpaper?

After converting and transferring to iPhone: Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper → Photos → pick your Live Photo → enable Live (concentric circles icon) → tap Add. See our setup guide for more details.

Do I need to install an app?

No third-party app is required. The browser handles conversion, and you use built-in iOS Photos and Settings to import and set the wallpaper.
