How to Turn a Video into a Live Photo on iPhone
Create a Live Photo from any short video without installing a converter app, then set it as an animated lock screen wallpaper on iOS 17/18.
Quick path (no app)
- Open the free online Video to Live Photo converter.
- Upload a 2–5 second clip (vertical looks best on lock screen).
- Convert in the browser and download the result.
- AirDrop to iPhone → open in Photos → Use as Wallpaper → enable Live.
Detailed without-app notes: convert video to Live Photo without app.
iPhone setup tips
- Use Photos, not Files, when setting wallpaper when possible.
- On the wallpaper preview, tap the Live (concentric circles) control.
- Short, smooth motion near the center of the frame looks better.
