🔄Alternative: Create True Live Photo with intoLive App

If you want a "true" Apple Live Photo (that can be shared as Live Photo, not just used as wallpaper), use the free intoLive app:

  1. Download intoLive from the App Store (free with optional upgrades)
  2. Open intoLive and import our converted MOV file
  3. Trim and adjust the Live Photo as needed
  4. Save to Photos - it's now a true Live Photo!
  5. Use it as wallpaper or share it with friends

💡 Why use an app? Apple's Live Photo format requires specific metadata that can only be added by iOS. Our web converter creates the optimized video, and the app handles the final conversion to Apple's proprietary format.
