How to convert AVI to Live Photo

  1. 1. Choose a AVI file. Short clips (under 3 seconds) with a clear focal point work best for a lock screen wallpaper.
  2. 2. Convert in the browser. The converter exports an H.264 MOV (up to 3 seconds) plus a JPEG keyframe. This is not a system Live Photo with a LIVE badge yet.
  3. 3. Transfer both files to iPhone. AirDrop is fastest. Make sure both the MOV and JPEG arrive — not just the image.
  4. 4. Import into Photos. Open the MOV on iPhone and save it to Photos. The result should appear as a Live Photo with a LIVE badge after import.
  5. 5. Set as Lock Screen wallpaper. Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper → Photos → pick your Live Photo → enable Live (concentric circles icon) → Add. See the setup guide for troubleshooting.

Physical iPhone verification of this full workflow is still pending. The export is not a true Apple Live Photo with maker notes until imported through Photos on iOS.

Troubleshooting AVI conversions

The browser feels slow or runs out of memory

Try a shorter clip, close other tabs, and rerun the conversion in a current version of Chrome or Safari.

The result does not animate on iPhone

Make sure you are setting it from the Photos workflow and that the Live option is enabled on the wallpaper preview.

The source file will not open

If the AVI will not open, inspect its codec and export a short H.264 MP4 from a trusted desktop editor before trying again.

Need the full setup steps?

The converter handles the heavy lifting, but iPhone setup still depends on your iOS version and whether you want a lock screen wallpaper or a shareable Live Photo.
