Video Live Photo
Turn a short clip into paired still and motion assets
A Live Photo combines a cover still with nearby motion. Browser tools cannot write every proprietary iOS photo-library detail, but they can create the useful assets: a still image, a motion clip, a manifest, and a ZIP package for handoff or import workflows.
Use this page when you want a no-app video to Live Photo workflow for local files. Choose the key frame, set clip length, pick output quality, and download the paired bundle.

Compatibility
Video to Live Photo compatibility
Motion export depends on MediaRecorder support in the current browser. Auto mode chooses the best supported video encoder.
MOV input
Works only when the underlying codec is supported by the browser.
MP4 or WebM motion
Output format follows MediaRecorder support, with WebM as a common fallback.
Bundle output
The ZIP contains usable still and motion files rather than claiming direct iOS library installation.
Best results
Best video to Live Photo results
Use a short source clip
Two to four seconds is usually enough for a clean Live Photo-style motion asset.
Pick a strong cover frame
The still should work on its own because it is the first asset users inspect.
Use Auto format
Auto avoids selecting a motion encoder unsupported by your browser.
Test on the target device
Different photo apps handle paired still and motion imports differently.
